Build Your Own Slab Flattening Router Sled
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 мар 2024
- Ever wonder how to flatten a wood slab? In this video I show you how to build your own slab flattening router sled. This project came together with very few hiccups and in the end I have a solid jig for slab flattening I can use for years to come. All the parts are listed below. Most links lead to affiliate links, which will pay me a small commission, so feel free to do your own searches or use the links provided. No pressure either way. Also, I have listed links to other videos I used to help me build this.

That thing is cool Dino. I want a flattening setup however I have a drum sander and that works pretty well also for now. One day, I'll have one. Great video bud!
Thanks man! I would love a drum sander. But this was a more cost effective option for now.
My sled(slab flattener) is 2 3"× 6" aluminum rectangle tubes 4' long for the rails and 2 2"× 2"× 1/4" angles 4' long with a polycarbonate base for the router support. Just slide the angles along the rails. Use a 2" Whiteside flattening bit. It will flatten a slab up to 24" wide and 4' long and 2" to 4" thick. Works well so far. Got all the aluminum at work, so it was inexpensive too.
Wow! That is awesome! I really like how versatile this has become for me.
I hate it when RUclipsrs fail to credit their sources of inspiration. Thanks for doing so. I believe acrylic is a much better choice than plywood. You could even improve dust collection with a CNC dust shoe! I can't wait to build mine.
Thank you, I appreciate you saying that! The CNC dust shoe is an excellent idea. I will see what it would take to incorporate it.
good job
Thank you!
at long last about to build mine, just needed a push to do it. nice work
Awesome! Hope this helps a little! 😬
thank you just order me one
Hope you enjoy it!
Could you let me know the screw sizes for the 20mm rail glides and the 16mm glides. Great video well done!!
Screws came with the 16mm rails, so I am not sure what it was. For the 20mm rail, I believe it is an M5 screw size. I am not sure of the length I used, but I think it was about 1/2 inch. Hope this helps. Glad you enjoyed the video!
0:12 I can see light scattering like road bumps shape. Is it as flat as just like out of jointer?
@@Haplo-san yes, it’s just as flat as a jointer.
Just so you know, it does not cold grummins. It's called blind nuts.
What speed was your drill press at for the holes in the plexiglass?
I used the same speed I use for most wood, 2800 RPMs, wich is also the high setting on this particular press.
What was the rough cost (outside of the router and underlying table)? Thanks! Good job.
Thank you! The rough cost was a little under $250.
First flattener lol. Go Yankees
Thank you Keith for always being so supportive!
@@TheSharkShed 👍🏻Pretty cool. Wish I could get my lawn that flat and smooth 😂
If only! Maybe I can build a lawn flattening jig. :)
