Trial of my Router Sled

[trigger_andy]

So Dave @Johnsond built me a cracking Aluminum Router Sled and Ive finally got around to using it. Milling an Oak Slab that will become a Headboard for a bed. Worked very well and the HDPE sliders are a great addition.

That looks really good, could do with one of those myself.

Good to see it in use Andy ?.

Looks like a good way of getting it flat. Just wondering, is it hard to get a parallel top and bottom surface or do you just use the sled on one side?

if you have a level workshop floor then you're laughing. I zero'd my saw horses in with a Spirit level to ensure it was all 100% square. so you're free to flip the board over once planed to get the board completely square.

We need to get a price for one of these, could be a good take up @Johnsond
