POWERTEC Rail Coping Sled for Router Table, Router Coping Sled with Clamp

After a few uses and learning the correct methods I like this sled. Makes a person feel safe when routing stuff. Don't have to get too close to the high speed spinning bits. makes work safer.

It’s not made of the best materials and will win no awards for fit and finish but I don’t want to deduct any points for trivial things like that at this price point. If it were 100$ or more yes, I’d expect more in those departments. All that said, none of it feels particularly cheap or flimsy either. I really like the handles and think they could’ve went cheaper there and got away with it. More and more I like Powertec equipment. This was my first time doing rails and stiles and everything ended up perfect. A big part of that was having this jig. Everything works well on this and holds it tightly. I had no worries about it being loose or anything moving during operation. It was really easy to put together and straight foward. Two different sized clamps was a plus although I’ll probably never switch it out, I like the larger one. This allowed me to make clean and accurate cuts. I’m glad I purchased this and will have it for a long time as I suspect I’ll be building more cabinet doors and drawers

Good quality unit and makes my router table safer.

Solid and working well. Took only a few minutes to assemble. Good value.

Could be better

Works well. Only two complaints....the sacrificial board was not predrilled as per instructions and the bolt on smaller head of the hold down (red) clamp is not long enough to securely hold narrow pieces ( less that 2").

Works great high quality made

Love this, makes me feel much more comfortable with using the router not concerned with losing fingers. Plus much more reliable cuts. Great quality.

Great addition to my router work

I'm using the sled currently to cut rebates into the end of some box sides. I was scratching my head to understand why my workpiece kept catching the out-feed side of my router fence and the rebate was fractionally out of alignment. I checked and double checked and the fence was completely coplanar. It transpires that the issue is the adjustable parallel fence on the sled. It's made of quite a flimsy plastic which distorts when the workpiece makes contact with the router bit, allowing the workpiece to twist/pivot slightly. Now I know what the issue is, my next job it to make a new fence from hardwood and add some high friction material to the bottom and side to make sure it can't flex in operation.

It worked
