Adjustable Router Flattening Sled (PLANS): diycreators.gumroad.com/l/pNYet

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.

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!

There are jigs, and there are JIGS. This is an amazing tool, thanks for showing it to us. Well done!

I like your sled design. Not a lot of money to make and looks like it works fine. Nice job on your videos.

I've been viewing all of the flattening mill videos out there. I really like your design. Nice work. LOL love the "stylish" comment

And now you need to make a router duplicate attachment. 🙂 Thanks for another great video. 👍

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.

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!

Love your work and videos. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family 👪

Very nice design. It has given me some ideas, thank you.

Наконец то новое видео. Как всегда всё круто и душевно. Где же ты пропадал, Карлосончик дорогой? 😊

Seriously, that’s the best design I’ve seen around. Your a genius. Just awesome.

These videos are not just productive and creative I find them really therapeutic as well 😌

Great sled. And thanks for showing how to build it without welding.

Lol , i love how he protects his hand while sawing . especially as he cutsthe small strips 😁😁

Best router sled design I've seen, and I have been researching. Perfect for my small projects but I can scale up.

PURE SKILL AND INNOVATION! 👌

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!

Amazing DIY Project. I enjoyed watching this. Greets from Germany

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 .

good job, brother joiner! Hello from Russia!

Congratulations. Very useful jig and easy to make. I’ll copy it.

You are the best bro!!! 💪🏻💪🏻 thanks for the videos.

Very nice. My jig kept snagging up on the wood sled. This makes it much easier to flatten a piece

I see you using a Blackwing for your marks. A person of skill AND taste!

Nice!!!! Fully functional and doesn't take a lot of space, definitely going to build something like this.

Those threaded inserts are nuts 😂

it's amazing the way you run 👍

The best channel for far!!!!

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!

Great job. Congratulations. 💚💛🇧🇷

Thank you bro.greetings from Turkiye

I appreciate the good design, and the video without boring repetitions. Thanks.

Damm nice man. Good job 👏🏼

This is great, I found my next project! Thanks man!

This device is why I subscribe to your channel. I am going to make one as soon as the plans are out

Glen this is brilliant!! Thanks so much for sharing this.

Very nice sled design. Malcolm from Oakland

This is a clever sled design with readily available parts. Well done!

Another OUTSTANDING VIDEO!

Great video! Smart design and very well explained!

You are the king of ideas and achievements. 👍👍👍

Dude, you're a genius! Great channel!

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 KZfaq is that I have access to people that are smarter than me.

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!

Dude. That is really good work.

Very cool! I built 48in sled out ply wood last week, definitely making the bottom as fixture base!

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.

Very nice and easy build. Greetings from Germany!

Best one I’ve seen thus far.

Best sled I’ve seen so far. Great job!

Nice and straightforward. Thanks

Nicely done. Great design.

Man, this is a slick design. Looks like it slides like butter

It's a CNC table without the computer or the motors....very cool.😎

Great camera work. The steps are clearly shown and the narration is to the point and easy to understand.

Great design. I’m really diggin it. My next project.

Very cool job madman. Thanks for laying out a great design. Real Nice.

Dang! You have a lot of Rockler stuff! Nice...

you have golden hands man!!!

Best Router Sled video I’ve seen. Excellent design. Excellent video. Thanks

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.

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!

Saved this to make my own when plans are available

Sofar theis is the best DIY slab flatenning jig I have ever seen. Great woork.

Wonderful! And yes the dust it's a problem

Perfect solution for guitar body planing... I'm definitely building this... Thanks brother !

Good concept. Nicely done. Best of luck. Have fun, stay safe. Good video.

Verry good job my friend. You have my appreciation from Brazil. 🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

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.

Your ingenuity and craftsmanship are top notch!!!!

Came out great! For myself, I would need it to cut a bit thicker, but that isn't a hard modification.

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.

Really cool build, I like it a lot. Suggestion for you build a sanding sled attachment to use the same rail system, to insure even sanding.

This is a really cool sled. Love the adjustability feature.

SUPERBE TRAVAIL ..IDEES MAGNIFIQUES. BELLES PRISES DE VUES..FELICITATIONS👍👍👍👍

Always enjoy ur videos. Plus I learned a very cool way 2 use ur track clamps for braces. Upside down. So simple yet genius.

Dude, that's brilliant... Going to build this! - THANKS

Slick design. Perfect for smaller slabs for sure.

Nicely done! Putting metal tracks on for guides is super-smart. I am thinking about rare-earth magnets instead of screws for height adjustment on the sled. (Bought the plans - also nicely done)

Excellent concept and execution! probably the most economicl and efficient design I've seen! With light passes there shouldn't be much tendency to lift up - about the only downside I see.

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. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪

Your projects are going to get me in trouble. I want to make all if these!

Great project. Very handy. 👍

Great project idea. I’ve been thinking the same thing for my routers and looking at a lot of videos and ready made products that cost a arm and a leg etc over the last few weeks. After watching your video I got the idea in your track system is to use instead superstrut bar - A channel that is 1 5/8 of a inch for everything that you used square tubing instead. You can bolt everything together and no welding or brackets with self tapping screws. They have numerous brackets in just about any angle you desire. They use 3/8 or 1/2 bolts and slotted nuts for bolting stuff together. I’ve already made 2 overhead trolley systems for chain hoists in my workshop areas at home. Turn it sideways and get some sealed bearings and I use special Allen Head machine bolts to go through the bearings as the rollers for the trolley, works great. Then to take up the slack between the trolley and the superstrut bar I use steel spacer tube material cut to length. My trolleys glide so effortlessly it’s insane. You can get superstrut bar at Home Depot but to get all the neat bracelets you have to go to a industrial contractors supply like Acme contractors supply that’s on the west coast. On the east coast you guys are going to have to hunt down industrial supply companies. And if you want something to glue together real fast is use SP-10 glue but it is mucho expensive but has a tensile strength of 4,000psi holding strength. Also if you made your sliding bridge wide enough that you can make another trolley to accommodate a power hand planner and a belt sander.

Very nice design. I like your height adjustment

I’ll keep an eye out for plans - love it!

Thanks a lot for sharing this flattening sled, infortunately plywood became too expensive, so I'll try to make it with wood.

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!

Brilliant sled. Great video

FANTASTIC IDEA!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

Superbe travail finition et fonctionnel félicitations monsieur pour votre création

High quality, very flexible!

I knew eventually I was going to have to make one( for signs) I'm glad I saw your video before I did great job

Very proud of you young Brother. Great role model.

Респект, брат, всё отлично! Но мы такое приспособление изобрели 20 лет назад. С уважением, Россия!
