I've seen this posted before but never with any conclusive answers. Has anyone here managed to build a GOOD crosscut sled for their Proxxon table saw?

 

I've built one following the steps in the popular German youtube videos on the subject but I found the resulting sled to be a bit wobbly and inaccurate (despite numerous attempts to perfectly align it). I used wood runners and found that between just ordinary wear and temp/humidity changes, the angles are really inconsistent. I'd love some pointers. 

Also was wondering if anyone knew of any other "must-have" accessories to buy/build for the Proxxon.

See my post on table saw accessories that I posted awhile back.  All my jigs and things were made by me.

 

 Copy them all and build yourself whatever you like, don’t matter to me.   Lots of info on the web for full size table saws just scale it down to fit your needs.

 

 When I get home I’ll post some pictures here but all my jigs and such are under my post table saw accessories that I’ve come up with.

Thanks, that's a pretty nice list.

 

My crosscut sled is ok-ish. It gets the job done but it really suffers when cutting longer pieces and I typically have to spend a lot of time evening things out on a sander. I wonder if perhaps trying again with some new runners might do the job.

The one from MicroMark for the tilt arbor saw should work.   However, something you could make yourself would work as well if not better.

One of the things I do for repetitive cuts is I use a scrap piece of wood and clamp it to the “fence” of the sled.  Yes for longer cuts I just measure and cut still use the sled to keep cut square.
