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!
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
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 UA-cam videos like that f%^@
Excellent video. No wasted time, all business. Nice finished product. Nice work area. Good job!
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!
There are jigs, and there are JIGS. This is an amazing tool, thanks for showing it to us.
Well done!
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.
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.
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!
Best router sled design I've seen, and I have been researching. Perfect for my small projects but I can scale up.
These videos are not just productive and creative I find them really therapeutic as well 😌
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
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.
PURE SKILL AND INNOVATION! 👌
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!
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.
And now you need to make a router duplicate attachment. 🙂
Thanks for another great video. 👍
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.
I've been viewing all of the flattening mill videos out there. I really like your design. Nice work. LOL love the "stylish" comment
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
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!!!!
This is awesome , thank you always
I’m Learning from you always .
The best channel for far!!!!
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
Lol , i love how he protects his hand while sawing . especially as he cutsthe small strips 😁😁
GREAT project Glenn. Your projects always have an extra feature or two that sets them apart from most others! !! !!!
I like your sled design. Not a lot of money to make and looks like it works fine. Nice job on your videos.
Nice!!!! Fully functional and doesn't take a lot of space, definitely going to build something like this.
Damm nice man.
Good job 👏🏼
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
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!
Those threaded inserts are nuts 😂
This is a clever sled design with readily available parts. Well done!
Very nice! Like the adjustability of the router and relatively easy to make. Looking forward to the plans!
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 UA-cam is that I have access to people that are smarter than me.
Glen this is brilliant!! Thanks so much for sharing this.
good job, brother joiner! Hello from Russia!
Very nice. My jig kept snagging up on the wood sled. This makes it much easier to flatten a piece
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.
Very ingenious flattening sled. Looking forward to any additions and updates you make to it.
amazing technique
Great sled. And thanks for showing how to build it without welding.
You are the best bro!!! 💪🏻💪🏻 thanks for the videos.
Thanks!
This is awesome!!!!
I appreciate the good design, and the video without boring repetitions. Thanks.
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.
Best one I’ve seen thus far.
This is great, I found my next project! Thanks man!
Best thicknessing router jig I've seen. Awesome.
Very nice design. It has given me some ideas, thank you.
Best sled I’ve seen so far. Great job!
Man, this is a slick design. Looks like it slides like butter
Another OUTSTANDING VIDEO!
Thank you bro.greetings from Turkiye
Thank you! This is the best router sled video I have found. I’m making a timber and resin table soon and definitely going to use this as a guide.
Plainers are so expensive, have a large footprint and it’s hard to find a company to just plane a piece of wood for you army a reasonable price. I do art as a hobby so the investment isn’t worth it but this is great!
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!
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. 👍
Can't wait for the plans
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.
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.
Great job. Congratulations. 💚💛🇧🇷
I’ll keep an eye out for plans - love it!
That's a really good system and the 3 holes for height adjustment is a great touch!!
Excellent job, Glen. This is an exceptional design. This jig is versatile and it looks like it will last for a long time.
One of the better designs of a router flattening jig. Great job!
I see you using a Blackwing for your marks. A person of skill AND taste!
it's amazing the way you run 👍
CANT WAIT TO SEE IT.
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!
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?
This is a great design and approach. Excited to see any updates you’ll make for this project.
Best sled I've ever seen! Thanks so much!!
Amazing DIY Project. I enjoyed watching this. Greets from Germany
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
This device is why I subscribe to your channel. I am going to make one as soon as the plans are out
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!
Excellent design. Definitely the router sled I’m going to build. Thank you for sharing.
Dude, you're a genius! Great channel!
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
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 .
This is PERFECT!. Thanks for posting this video. Very well done!
you have golden hands man!!!
PARABÉNS, como sempre um trabalho de primeira qualidade!
Love this! Great design and awesome explanation as you are building it! Thank you!!!
I just built a sled, totally different, and will be redoing it based on your design. Very impressive!
FANTASTIC IDEA!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
You are the king of ideas and achievements. 👍👍👍
Thanks!
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
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. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪
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.
That is really elegant! Love that design.
One of the best sleds I've seen.
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
That looks great. Thank you for sharing!
Great camera work. The steps are clearly shown and the narration is to the point and easy to understand.
Congratulations. Very useful jig and easy to make. I’ll copy it.
Parabéns simples e funcional e residência....TOP!!!!
Very cool! I built 48in sled out ply wood last week, definitely making the bottom as fixture base!
That’s great. Thanks for making this video.
