I will be starting a cross cut sled for the TS this weekend amongst a couple other jigs. The plan that I am loosely follow made an interesting comment with regards to setting up the front and rear rails on the sled. It states: " in location the front rails simply line up the fence with the edge of the front edge of the base, however, the rear rail needs to be perfectly perpendicular to the blade so you must line it up properly...." and it goes on to explain using a long bladed framing square to align the rear rail.
It seems to me that if this is a cross cut sled that it would be crucial that the front rail/fence be as perfect as possible, not the rear. Actually both should be as much as you can get it but the front is what will have the stop on it along with hold downs that hold workpieces up to the front fence. Just seems to me they have this backwards. Am I right?
Thanks as always,
Corey
