I'm used to larger, corded routers ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.
Worthy of Note: Some lower-end plunge routers may have a little play in the plunge rods, allowing the router to rack slightly, making the mill end of some bits (especially 3/8' or larger) angled slightly higher on one side relative to the surface of the working piece. This will leave noticeably uneven cut lines, and in more extreme cases may leave a surface that needs a lot of additional work after leveling. This can be corrected with shims added between the sled base and the router's plate, but if the router is removed from the sled for a different job, the shimming process will need to be repeated. Tips from a woodworker of a budget. Cheers!
This is what I’ve been planning to do and have been looking at linear rails the past couple weeks, you mentioned price of $135 was that per set of rails or your total price in this setup? What brand rails you have or where did you purchase them. Cheapest I can find sbr20-2000 rails are around $130-160 for just one set, my cross rails will be around 800mm
Linear rails and guides are a good solution for flattening some large maple slabs for a table project for my son-in-law. IMO, this is a better solution than using wooden rails. Thanks for posting this video.
This is it, I always wanted to build one this way instead of alu extrusions and wheels, I think this is better. The only thing I would add is long handle to a corner on the router tray for 2 reasons : 1 hands not exposed to prolonged router vibrations when working longer on bigger piece and 2 back not bent over the table reaching out, again when working longer amount of time. Thanks for great upload.
I’ve been watching all of these slab flattening jigs. Then this. I’m guessing he’s the guy in elementary school who made a fusion reactor when everyone else was making vinegar and baking soda volcanos. Just jealous.
I built this same jig, SBR20 rails and linear bearings are very rigid and don’t flex at all under the weight of my 1/4” shank plunge router. I got the 800 and 500 mm rails for x and y and it’s perfect for my small workbench and large enough for the 12.5” wide edge grain cutting boards I like to make. I had previously built one out of wooden rails and and a wooden sled and it was horrible. With the linear rails, the motion is smooth and effortless.
Great! Thanks You saved me $$$$$$$s. The collet should have come with your router. There are small metal dogs that will eliminate the need for the box. Thanks, again.
I never bottom a router bit in the collet. I always leave some space becasue router bits tend to "freeze" in the collect making them difficult to remove. Loosen the collet and tap the bit the down. that will unstick it .Often by taking the nut off with a wrench it will act as a press and push the bit up and out.
Hi, I watched this video over and over, in an attempt to recreate your exact system. My long rails are 1200mm and cross rails are 800mm, also SBR20. The only change I made to your router sled base was to use a 1/2" piece of plexiglass, for strength and visibility, everything else is just like yours. There is no flex under the weight of my 2.25hp router and the stout sled. Just an FYI, the guide bearings require metric M6 machine bolts. That might help some of the people in the U.S. I was rather suprised that only one bolt hole of the 4 in the guide block, lined up with the holes predrilled in the rails. That might be a source of my issue. Everything went together perfect and smooth but now, all snugged up tight, with the router sled in place, the assembly shudders when I slide it along the rails. I've tried a few different possible remedies, but nothing seems to eliminate the choppiness of the slide, except when I loosen all the guide bearing bolts, just a tiny bit. It then slides better, but the rails on which the router slides, seem to go out of parallel, creating binding. Do you have any idea what I can to to fix this issue? Sorry for this lengthy comment/question and thank you for the wonderful approach to slab flattening!
Sorry for your issue. I will help you if it's possible. First, I wonder there is a shuddering before attaching the router sled.(like 3:56 in this video) You can email me at acgari1@gmail.com. With the photos or videos about the issue.
@Sue B…excellent points. MY biggest issue and hurdle was getting the bearing blocks for the long slides to marry up to the cross slides. My bearing blocks are 40mm with the 4 mounting screw holes being 3mm-4mm from each edge face. The rail bases are about 65mm wide so without some kind of adapter mounting plate, I was dead in the water. But to your point about the bearing block grub screw, you are spot on.
@Sue B. the choppiness you described may be due to a mis-alignment of the bearing blocks since you only used one mounting screw to connect the long and cross slides. I solved the same issue (and was successful in maintaining mounting screw tension) by making 4 mounting plates using .1875in X 2.5in X 6.5in 6061 aluminum bar stock. I drilled 4 holes to mount the bearing block to the adapter plate, and 4 holes to mount the bearing block assembly to the rail bases ( the base screw holes are 6.25in apart length-wise and about 2in apart width-wise. With the way I “built” the mounting mechanism, the bearing blocks are all perfectly aligned and ensure a tight 4-point attachment to the bearing blocks AND the rails. More importantly, all the drilling is on the adapter and eliminates drilling directly on the rail bases and the risk of damaging the slide rod.
@@jwdickinson643 Excellant idea, with successful outcome, yes? I'm off to the big box store for some 6061 aluminum bar! Thank you so much. I envy your analytical mind !
I usually use hot glue to hold the board in place, which is a pain in the but. Yesterday I had to flatten a lot of small boards. After seeing your video, I tried using shims which saved me A LOT of time. Now I can throw away my glue gun 😅 Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
The linears are great to use, however...... I would have those bearings on the long rails permanent so you are not playing "find the tiny ball bearing" everytime you put it on.....
for all y’all in the States, I discovered that the rail base is NOT the same width as the bearing blocks which therefore will not permit a simple bolt-on connection between the two. Each of the rail bases are approx. 2 1/2 in (63.5mm) but the bearing blocks are only 40mm wide. I made four adapters to connect the vertical slides (long portion) to the cross slides using .1875in X 2.5in X 6.5in 6061 Aluminum bar stock. This is NOT a criticism of the video. In fact, the video shows perfectly what a railed sled can do and how it works. However, before you go gung-ho ordering parts (like I did), make sure you get the exact dimensions of everything before you order, i.e. rail-rod diameter, rail base width, rail base screw hole diameter and distance from each other, bearing block dimensions, bearing block top face screw hole dimensions and distances, etc. Good luck, best wishes and happy routing!
Did you just buy 2 sets of liniar rails to do this setup? It looks like it could give a cnc machine a run for its money man. Awesome work! I plan on basically copying your design because I too want to make big wood/epoxy tables and that's the best router sled setup I've seen on youtube by a wide margin!
Yes, I only bought 2sets. Usually, 1 set is 2 linear rails and 4 bearing blocks. Why don't you watch this? ua-cam.com/video/zw5ExobPcCc/v-deo.html You can see how I flatten a wood slab.

Really nice set up and good idea. I like how you store the rails on the side of your work bench and the router mounting plate is built out of plywood. I will use them both. Thanks for sharing.
Thinking SBR20 1200 for both directions.. That gives me a 48x48 slab flattener. I think you can extend the one direction pretty easily by getting another SBR20 rail right up next to it right? I am new to all this so thought I'd try a smaller size first.
Question that i cannot find an answer to- can those open-type rail carts ride upside down ? This way you would just mount them flat on a surface, i looked at their insides and it looks like the upper inner side has the exact same lines of ball bearings as the bottom.
That may be simple but it will be expensive. SBR 20 2000mm is $167.26 1500 mm is $124.59 1800 mm is $159.99 ( I couldn't find a 1850) Then a 1200 mm is $104.46 and that's with 2 slide block bearing. 4 of the SBR20UU block 20 mm is $28.85 You're already over $300. May be simple but its not cheap. I'd like to know where you got your rails and blocks so cheap @ $135.21. I built my own CNC using these rails and blocks. Then clearance is another issue. Get a Z axis and you have the start of a CNC.
Well, sorry for bothering you. I bought them in March 2020. I think the price is getting high. We also should think about the freight charge. My country is right next to China.

How is this affordable? Seems like a good amount of money in that railing system. I love it!!! It's super clean...moves great .but where can I find that Sorata railing and the sliders cheap?

Thank you for the video, do you notice any sag in the middle of the rails when the router is in the middle? Especially if using a router that is 6-7 kg in weight?
You struggle to tighten collet as you router needs rotating in its collet so the flat edge is opposite the push button, you then lay on the flat edge of base giving mush more stable platform when tightening.

This is great. Unfortunately those rails cost far more then a new planer or jointer her in New Zealand. Will keep my eyes out for some used one though. Nice setup!!
yes rails cost same than can buy real cnc machine today, better buy cnc machine then no need use hand, carve automatic slab to traight no need handwork.
Great video. I was wondering if I have the Rollers attached to a half inch piece of plexiglass do I need the support pieces around the perimeter if the router is attached also to the plexiglass
Bought this stuff up right away, I was worried I would have to buy a planer and jointer for an area I don't have the space. This will be perfect to remove wobble from some projects I've been doing.
@@gerritwillemvanhemert6554 I found some on Amazon, however this set up didn’t last me too long, the rails began to warp a little over a few uses. Could have just been lower quality rails.

Hello! Sorry if the question has already been asked. If you use the cross rail at its maximum length, does it sag in the center under load? Sorry for the mistakes, if any, translated through Google translator. Hello from Moscow)
is it possible to add a stop/brake to the bearing blocks? It looks like there's a hole in the side of the blocks that could screw something in? Looks like I'll build one of these after I build my router table! amazing, thanks!
I just bought a similar setup, but the holes in the upper rails do not align with the holes in the bearings riding on the lower rails. I see you have both screws in each bearing, so did yours just match up, or did you have to make some kind of mod?

This is the seller I ordered.
But you can find them on Amazon.com too. Just type "SBR20" on Amazon.com.
Thanks!
modern machines
Yeah, they are.
Thank you for the video, do you notice any sag in the middle of the rails when the router is in the middle? Especially if using a router that is 6-7 kg in weight?
Mine (GOF 1600CE) is 5.8kg. I don't feel any sag. Thanks!
@@makefurniture1 thank you
¿Is it possible get same result using an electric brush?
Sorry, I don't understand about an electric brush.
hearing the sound of that linear bearing blocks... pls give em some grease at some point
That would be great!
You struggle to tighten collet as you router needs rotating in its collet so the flat edge is opposite the push button, you then lay on the flat edge of base giving mush more stable platform when tightening.
^^ I might tend to tighten bits too much. Thanks.
Coll!!! nice idea
Please write links to products ))

This is great. Unfortunately those rails cost far more then a new planer or jointer her in New Zealand.
Will keep my eyes out for some used one though.
Nice setup!!
Thank you for your comment!
yes rails cost same than can buy real cnc machine today, better buy cnc machine then no need use hand, carve automatic slab to traight no need handwork.
Great video. I was wondering if I have the Rollers attached to a half inch piece of plexiglass do I need the support pieces around the perimeter if the router is attached also to the plexiglass
Bought this stuff up right away, I was worried I would have to buy a planer and jointer for an area I don't have the space. This will be perfect to remove wobble from some projects I've been doing.
Where you bought them?
@@gerritwillemvanhemert6554 I found some on Amazon, however this set up didn’t last me too long, the rails began to warp a little over a few uses. Could have just been lower quality rails.
Where do you order those sleds and bearings from. Thanks

Hello! Sorry if the question has already been asked. If you use the cross rail at its maximum length, does it sag in the center under load? Sorry for the mistakes, if any, translated through Google translator. Hello from Moscow)
It depends on the router's weight, the diameter, and the length of the guide rails.
In my case, I don't feel any saggings.
is it possible to add a stop/brake to the bearing blocks? It looks like there's a hole in the side of the blocks that could screw something in? Looks like I'll build one of these after I build my router table! amazing, thanks!
Yeah, you can add a clamping lever or a handle M6.
I just bought a similar setup, but the holes in the upper rails do not align with the holes in the bearings riding on the lower rails. I see you have both screws in each bearing, so did yours just match up, or did you have to make some kind of mod?
I didn't modify them. I use only one screw on each bearing. Thanks!
Can you post the links for all the rails and bearing blocks? Thanks

This is the seller I ordered. I guess the price is getting expensive. You could find other sellers on the Aliexpress.com. Thanks.
Do the bearings get clogged with sawdust?
Nope. I just clean up the sawdust with an air gun sometimes.
