I like the idea of a couple sizes for the sleds. I built a "medium"
sided one and I should really build a smaller to use most of the time.
I'm not sure how useful a sled would be for sheet goods. I guess it
depends on exactly what you mean by sheet goods. The extreme would be a
sled big enough for a 4x8 sheet which is obviously crazy so it depends
on how much of the sheet you need a sled for.

Never built a sled for mitres so can't comment.

I waxed the bottom of my sled including the tracks and it slides like
snot across the saw. The saw is also waxed of course.

So I'm finally (I know, don't kill me) building my first panel sled
after 7
years of wwing. I've found different plans on the web thanks to all
of you,
and I've settled on a design for 2 sleds, one straight and one with a
mitre.
I have a few questions though if ya don't mind.

1. Does it make sense to have 2 different sleds, one for large panels
and
the other for smaller stuff? Idea being I'd like to have something
really
large for helping with sheet goods. Not insanely large mind you.

2. If I make a large panel sled, is there anything I can do to the
bottom
of the sled to make it slide easily on the TS?
