Adjustable bandsaw sled for Celtic knots and segmenting

[Buckeye]

Nice one, job well done. Mine is a fixed 45 degrees and I have to put inserts in to change the position of the blank. I would like the versatility yours gives.

Terry I am looking at building a new sled for my bandsaw and considering stealing this one.
I want it to be a multi purpose sled with removable jigs init to include your ideas here.
You have had this one for some time now and I was wondering how it is standing the test of time?
Are there any changes or additions you would make to it or is it perfection?
I appreciate this is a small sled for segmenting but the angles are still relevant and I only have a small bandsaw so it looks ideal.
I was thinking of adding a handlebar at the rear for fitting of additional fences I might need.
Any ideas / suggestions before I set to work on it?

Sorry Brian but I have only used it a couple of times and that was a while ago so I can't offer you anymore tips although I have to say it worked beautifully for me.
Frankie (Turnaround 360) made a version similar to mine a month or two after I made mine so it might pay you to look up his version.

I hope that helps !!!

Cheers Alex yours is similar to what I am using with fixed angles, I am thinking of sliding angles I like the versatility of Terry's one.
Cheers Terry I will try to find Frankie's one.
I think it will be more used for for straight 90 degree cuts but like the idea of adding the angles when required.

Go for it Brian. If you are going to make one you might as well have one that is all singing and dancing rather than wishing you had made one !!!!

I have some ideas spinning around in my head.
Lets see what evolves.

Mine you have blocks cut to the angle I use it as a cut off sledge a lot

Terry my bandsaw tracks enough to make it inconsistent like your idea of waiting for a new blade the jig looks a winner.

Kind regards Peter.
