Adjustable Router Flattening Sled (PLANS): diycreators.gumroad.com/l/pNYet
Thanks!! Can't wait to start this project.😁
How the hall you have this many subscribers and I’ve never seen your vids .awesome design man .
@@brianmeanor7907 YT not giving him all his props!
@diy creators
Where did you get your mask?
This is genius, subscribed because of this video
You, Sir, are THE CHAMP, THE BOSS, THE MAN WITH THE PLAN! This is truly an outstanding sled, and your presentation skills are masterful!
I like the videos with no cursing and no four letter words. You are a pure gentleman. Thanks a lot. Houston, TX.
Big Thanks!
I miss TH-cam videos like that f%^@
Excellent video. No wasted time, all business. Nice finished product. Nice work area. Good job!
One of the coolest sled designs I've seen to date - definitely going to build one of these, thank you!
A “must do” project.
Agreed, I'm building one this memorial day weekend, exept with more holes for finer adjustments and a pin that slides in and out for quick adjustments. Thanks for the idea @DIY Creators
There are jigs, and there are JIGS. This is an amazing tool, thanks for showing it to us.
Well done!
Love your designs, practical content, and diy approach for the true DIYers out here! You are an inspiration to me as a maker! Thank you
Glen, I so appreciate the quality and content of your videos over the years. You've definitely helped me up my DIY game! This sled, by the way, is AWESOME!
I've seen a lot of these. You have one of the simplest and nicest. I appreciate you walking through the build and explaining your thought process
Best router sled design I've seen, and I have been researching. Perfect for my small projects but I can scale up.
I went down this path when I was going to be thicknessing slabs for guitar bodies. This is a REALLY good approach, easily scaleable. One warning though: make sure the planer bit you buy for milling is designed for the application, specifically RPM. 15 years ago there was a bit with 3 individual replaceable blades that was designed for drill press RPM ranges (discontinued now). There were a number of cases in the DIY luthier community of people using it with their 1/2" routers and the bit would fly apart under high RPM and cause injury. If in doubt, go for a smaller diameter bit designed for purpose and use more passes.
Love what you did here brother, excellent build.
WOW! Outstanding call out! This closed system seems like would offer some protection from the catastrophic failure of a bit. I am wondering if some good leathers, for welding, will help as safety gear I use for this type of wood working. I will pay attention to the RPMs to avoid wrecking my day. Thanks again.
This warning got me thinking I don't remember the rpm of my tools. I am going through my manuals to revisit rpm of my tools to prevent a "day wrecking" event. Awesome call out 👍
@@rauladame2105 there is an unspoken rule of not to use gloves when working with a rotating tool. Keeps all finger attached to the hands.
Always check the rpm for a bit. The larger the bit the more danger there is.
Broken bits can happen any time. Heavy PVC (e.g. curtain side truck body material) can be used over the job each side of the sled. These will catch flying debris and will reduce dust. You could also cover the gaps between the sled rails, but it's going to be a pain to use. In any case, the narrow gap is unlikely to let high speed shrapnel exit the table.
I made myself one but now that I've seen yours, I think I'm going to make one like yours. So much more efficient.. Excellent!
Nice! I am looking forward to put it to use.
@@DIYCreators I do believe you will definitely be impressed with how easily it does the job.
Definitely love this design! I downloaded and built your Portable Router Table yesterday and it works so perfectly. I changed the dimensions a bit to meet those of the Ryobi router I bought yesterday as well. I’m definitely going to build and add this to my arsenal soon. Thanks for creating this with a no-weld design to make it possible for those without a welder or welding skills to still be able to achieve this build. Love your channel bro!
I so enjoy your practical projects. Sure, the CNC videos are interesting, but I'll never have one (and I suspect most other woodworkers). So projects which I can relate to are the ones I like best. Your workmanship and explanations are tops.
Seriously, that’s the best design I’ve seen around. Your a genius. Just awesome.
yes, i totally agreed with you bro...our guys really a genius one
GREAT project Glenn. Your projects always have an extra feature or two that sets them apart from most others! !! !!!
Excellent design. Simplicity, love it. Will definitively make this since not having one has prevented me from doing a couple projects I've really been wanting to do
Portable Drill Guide! Awesome! I am getting that tool from Rockler. I thought the drill guide was overkill but after you showing how practical it's function is, I am impressed. The track for the gantry, the gantry and the router base is awesome! I am going to reference this post for my next router sled. The information you are sharing is GREAT! You are the man! Thank you!
I picked up the Portable Drill Guide from Rockler. I saw this post, did some research by checking out reviews of drill guides and decided on Rockler's. I started using it on my current project, instead of free hand drilling and when I was done, I was happy with the results. The PDG is expensive but the benefit in the higher level of quality of my projects will improve and pay for itself. I appreciate this this post.
i've seen MANY Flattening jigs on here, but this is the first one that looks easy to build and use. You've outdone yourself on this one!!!!
I like your sled design. Not a lot of money to make and looks like it works fine. Nice job on your videos.
Thanks you saved me spending money on a thickness planer
we would not use often enough to justify purchasing one.
We adopted your idea slightly different but worked brilliantly for our specific task.
Nice!!!! Fully functional and doesn't take a lot of space, definitely going to build something like this.
PURE SKILL AND INNOVATION! 👌
And now you need to make a router duplicate attachment. 🙂
Thanks for another great video. 👍
Very nice! Like the adjustability of the router and relatively easy to make. Looking forward to the plans!
I've been viewing all of the flattening mill videos out there. I really like your design. Nice work. LOL love the "stylish" comment
Glen this is brilliant!! Thanks so much for sharing this.
There are some really great ideas in this project! I really questioned the need for T track until I saw you use it to lock in the components for storage!!! And drilling it to attach the fixed base for the router is a great way to have a quick and easy set up without losing your router for other applications! I’m sure you picked up a few new subs from this project, including myself. Well done.
These videos are not just productive and creative I find them really therapeutic as well 😌
Very ingenious flattening sled. Looking forward to any additions and updates you make to it.
Very nice assembly. The use of steel tubing was genius. You've eliminated the drag of wood on wood and enabled a smoother sliding action in any direction!
Best thicknessing router jig I've seen. Awesome.
That's a really good system and the 3 holes for height adjustment is a great touch!!
Thank you for showing a way of now welding the parts together.
I've been looking for a router flattening jig for a while now and this is the first one I see which I think looks great. 👍
Glen I have seen a lot of router sled videos but I have to say your design has the best collection of features I have seen. Some very nice improvements that are entirely yours. Bonus points form making it self storying. I also like that you didn't over complicate it with rollers. Keep up the great work.
"self storying"? What is that?
Thank you, I really like your design with just enough metal parts incorporated where there is potential high wear points or excessive friction. This unit is on my must have/do list.
This is pretty awesome. Thanks for your work on this. This gives me ideas. I've been wanting to make a sled system like this for a while.
I’ll keep an eye out for plans - love it!
This is a great design and approach. Excited to see any updates you’ll make for this project.
Great job. I appreciate how you don’t edit out your mistakes, but instead embrace them and show how you correct them. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
Thank you for sharing your unique height adjustable sled design . I'm starting my first live edge project . And your design fits my height adjustable needs for this project. Truly Appreciated .
amazing technique
I use doubled sided tape to hold down work piece. Thank you for sharing this video. Your jig designs are always so detail oriented and work well!!
hot glue also works well, especially when I need shims to try to get somewhat level
Your ingenuity and craftsmanship are top notch!!!!
First time viewer of your channel and you have just solved problem that I have been pondering for awhile. I will have to make some mods to your plan, but I finally have a plan to work with. Thank you a bunch!!!
One of the coolest things about TH-cam is that I have access to people that are smarter than me.
Best sled I’ve seen so far. Great job!
I appreciate the good design, and the video without boring repetitions. Thanks.
Excellent job, Glen. This is an exceptional design. This jig is versatile and it looks like it will last for a long time.
I like the idea of flipping the holding brackets over to create a lower profile ... I can see this as a very useful tip. The sled itself is very cool as well ... nice job
this was a great video. its almost relaxing to watch you work and I like the fact that you comment on various things while you work (suggestions, etc). thank you!
This is a clever sled design with readily available parts. Well done!
Excellent design. Definitely the router sled I’m going to build. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful! And yes the dust it's a problem
Another OUTSTANDING VIDEO!
Hello i'm Martin from Bavaria, you've done a very great job. This is a very good idea for woodworking. I want see this when the dustcollector is ready. I hope so!!!
RESPECT from Martin. I want i are so perfect how you.
Sorry for my Bad englisch!😥😥😥
Best wishes for the next work. For your family and you all the best. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪
Slick design. Perfect for smaller slabs for sure.
This is amazing. I can see so many applications for this setup.
Great build as always. Make sure to get a Planing Router Bit for this and don't use a dado bit. While the dado will work, it leaves a pretty rough surface. Plus a decent planer bit will take off a wider swath of wood. Other tip, as I do a LOT of this, plane one side until you cannot see any more non-planed areas then flip the piece over. At this point, hot glue is good for holding down the piece and getting rid of those bulky (but nice) clamps. To remove the hot glue, spritz it with 90% rubbing alcohol and it will come right off. Thanks again for the great build!
This is a really cool sled. Love the adjustability feature.
Very nice design. It has given me some ideas, thank you.
That is really elegant! Love that design.
Great sled. And thanks for showing how to build it without welding.
I just built a sled, totally different, and will be redoing it based on your design. Very impressive!
Very nice. My jig kept snagging up on the wood sled. This makes it much easier to flatten a piece
Love your videos!
I’ve seen other diy sleds and they all get those lines you can see, but not feel. They all end up sanding them away like you did. So you did awesome and that just seems to be something we have to deal with.
Thank you for the videos!
Love this! Great design and awesome explanation as you are building it! Thank you!!!
Perfect solution for guitar body planing... I'm definitely building this... Thanks brother !
good job, brother joiner! Hello from Russia!
That looks great. Thank you for sharing!
Very Cool! Will HAVE to build one! Thanks!
That is one for the plans. You have so many good and simple ideas that a novice can surely follow.
Looking forward to these other ideas you have for the sled. Great job.
This is PERFECT!. Thanks for posting this video. Very well done!
FANTASTIC IDEA!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
I am really impressed with this design. He explains everything in simple terms and keeps the video moving along. I come back to watch DIY videos over the years and have watched him mature greatly with his talent. Great job and keep it up. A suggestion to anchor thinner material maybe use some two faced tape.
You are the best bro!!! 💪🏻💪🏻 thanks for the videos.
Thanks!
This is the best router sled Iv seen too date I have a cnc but i will definitely consider this for smaller projects
Mate! That is legit! I hope the one I am planning turns out half as good as yours. Thank you for the ideas and the lesson
VERY nice sled! This is a must build for me. Thank you!!
Best one I’ve seen thus far.
The best channel for far!!!!
Thank you bro.greetings from Turkiye
This is amazing! I love the design!
Best sled I've ever seen! Thanks so much!!
Absolutely brilliant. Love your creativity and execution. Always look forward to new videos from you.
Great project! I’ve got some live edge wood that I’ve wanted to flatten, but didn’t want to spend my kids college tuition to buy a router sled.
Thanks for showing us how it can be done without breaking the bank!
The bits aren't cheap a good bit runs 60-100 bucks between for 1 1/2-2 inches b. Unfortunately, a lot of businesses wont even charge to plane and use a jointer on your own wood for fear of metal being inside the wood
Can't wait for the plans
One of the better designs of a router flattening jig. Great job!
Awesome video man! I gotta try this build!! Thanks!!!
Quick and precise, thank you for sharing.
This is awesome, and will be on my list to make once I make some other basics! I am a brand new to this, and this is fantastic.
That’s great. Thanks for making this video.
Excellent video, been looking for a sled design that incorporates all these elements. Thanks for sharing!
This is a very nice sled design. Great work and thanks for the plans!
This is great, I found my next project! Thanks man!
Oh man, I was looking at routers today & then you drop this, which is exactly what I need for the project I have in mind. Better go back & get one & learn how to use it.
You truly have your stuff together...good work.
One of the best sleds I've seen.
Glen, thanks for this video. This will be my next project and it will save me both time, space and money.
This device is why I subscribe to your channel. I am going to make one as soon as the plans are out
Lol , i love how he protects his hand while sawing . especially as he cutsthe small strips 😁😁
