I made this wedge sled to fit my Ryobi BT 3000 table saw that has no miter slots. The sled has rails on the underside that fit over the center casting of the Ryobi saw. The rails have strips of 1/4" Delrin plastic on them to reduce wear and make it slide freely. The sled has 5 positions pinned to make wedges of 15 degrees, 22.5 degrees, 30 degrees , 40 degrees and 45 degrees.The positions are very close to the degree noted but the fence may have to be shimmed to make parts at the exact angle needed.
I made the rear hand rail split so the left side can be removed if longer boards are used to cut the wedges. The wedges shown are set up pieces to dial in the angles for each position. They were checked using a Wixie box. When the angle was obtained, the pin location was transferred from the fence to the sled. The sled, fence and rails are made from Baltic birch. The clamp and end stop are made from maple and the handle on the locator pin is female box elder The following are some process shots taken during the build. I used a trim router to make the circular T slot: Cheers, Jim
