In this video I will show you how to make a router table sled and demonstrate some of its many uses. You can download the 3D printable files here: www.prusaprinters.org/prints/...
Happy New Year! Cool use of the 3D printer for the project. Thank you for all your contributions to the woodworking community. I enjoy all of your videos.
Great design! I've gotten into the process of putting UHMW tape on the bottom and side edges of my miter tracks. I use a ¼" (6.35mm) wide tape that is 1/128th (0.0078") an inch (just under 0.2mm). This makes my miter tracks as slick as they could ever be. I did this because I use aluminum bars in my miter slot, because the UHMW bars can have a bit of play no matter how perfectly I mill them. On my current sled, I've used that same tape running L2R on the base to slightly lift the base off the router table, and make it as easy to slide as possible. So now, I can use my coping sled with zero friction resistance. And since I use uhmw faces on my router fence, it's like the entire device is levitating on air when it slides.
I like the concepts! I used t-track in my original sled to slide my clamp boards, but on this next one I'm going to try these cheap WEN guide rail clamps in a track similar to what you did with your design! So thanks for the inspiration and ideas! Be safe!
Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing your interesting projects and models for the 3D printed parts. It is appreciated. I‘ve been using a makeshift/temporary router table for far too long. Your video has inspired me to move it to the top of my “To Do” list of projects for 2022. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺
