Garry T Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I recently made the planer sled featured in FWW with the changes that Charger suggested. It worked really well and will be a nice addition to my other jigs. I did drill some extra holes for the supports so I could use it for a shorter board.

Bobby Slack Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Gary, where are the changes posted? I have been thinking about making this sled for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Slack Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 For rigidity and stability purposes, I am sold on a torsion box base for a super solid and true base. I think this will be my model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry T Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Charger suggested using hardwood for the supports used under the wood you are cutting. And doweling them to the sled, I used 3\8 dowels and a 1\2 hole in the support rails. also make sure you use the rubber kind of anti-slip materal. I think someone also suggested using laminate shelves for the bottem and a plain mdf shelf for the top part. Here is the link to the article and follow up by Charger. http://thewoodwhisperer.com/planer-sled/ Garry T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
