Router Sled - Build Under an Hour!

This router sled is extremely simple to make! You can build it under an hour and it will last a long time and stay flat. Some may say I should have the perpendicular guides sandwiching the rail on the bed. I have done that before, but when you have a slab too big for your bed and need to use different rails, your sled would be useless. Anyway, What would you do differently?

I’ve been looking at the “EASY SLED BUILD” “SIMPLE SLED BUILD” RU-vid videos for months. They just made me keep looking up the definition of simple and easy. Some people made cuts with no dimensions. No step by step instructions. No specifics. Your video is AWESOME. Simplicity at its best. !!!

I'm used to larger, corded routers ru-vid.comUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

Your rail system planted a seed in my head. I ended up building a sled that incorporates not only the rails, but also a tracked rail roller setup. Used it for the first time today, and it left a finish on hard walnut that any self respecting quality drum sander or helical planer would be proud of. This thing is awesome. Thank you for the video and the inspiration!

Thanks. I love the build can't wait to make one. One tip when drilling your holes go to Harbor Freight and get a graduating drill bit it's the best drill bit you'll everone for steel. I had to drill holes in a steel boat trailer quarter inch thick. It flew through the steel like it was soft Pine I couldn't believe it. Thanks again

I've been watching videos about making tables and other things and seeing people using router sleds. Watched a few on how to make a sled and the rails and all looked good but but cost a bit more than I'd want to spend since I'm just wanting to get my feet wet. The other videos were also a bit complicated. Glad I clicked on your video. Being retired and on a fixed income and just looking to begin with smaller things to start like cutting boards, your sled was what I was looking for. Saved me some time figuring out how to build one myself and not spend much money. You did a good job making it simple and easy to follow.

Will put it on router plate tomorrow to flatten other side of the cookie. Thanks for your great suggestion and video. OUTSTANDING!!

I’m working on building out my first shop. I want to work with both metal and wood. Using each where/when most useful. I agree that this use of a router is more beneficial and cost effective than purchasing individual tools. I plan on using bed frame angle iron for my sled sides and wood for the bottom of the sled. I also plan on using metal for the rails and melamine to attach the rails to.

I think if you slotted the angle iron. You can have an adjustable rail the slide rides on. Also. You can make the base two pieces with each rail side. Easier to store that way. You can just find a piece of mdf to fill the void as needed for each project. This would be useful for wordsmiths with limited space.
@dkruitz
@dkruitz 2 года назад
Good idea You! Couple of suggestions. You can usually find old angle iron bed frames at resale shops for a fraction of what the metal would cost from a hardware store. Also if you screwed the vertical wood piece to the horizontal wood you can save drilling holes in the metal.

@laff000 2 года назад
@@derekdavis1652 at the time I acquired my dad's old table saw. I have no idea who made it, God knows I've looked all over. Anyway the tabletop was approximately 24×30. I needed to greatly expand the table. So I used a combo of angle iron from old bed frames, 2×4s and a sheet of MDF , and a couple of casters. I just built the extensions that came naturally. I was able to go 30 inches to my left, 24 to my right and 14 to my back edge . I first framed the edge with the 2×4 s bolting them using the holes already there. Leaving space so that when I placed the MDF on top it was flush with the tabletop. Everything else was then bolted or screwed to this. This worked for me for many years . As crude as it was it worked.

I will clamp the sled to the bed, of course, after I apply the wax.
