Quick and Dirty Router Sled
« on: May 14, 2026, 11:44:32 AM »
Hi Everyone

I know we all come up with some weird ways of doing jobs, so I thought I'd share this one with you.  I needed a bit of wood and I had some old palette boards but they were too thick.  I tried a couple of things - the band saw wanted to burn its way through, a hand plane was tedious (and in my hands not very accurate) so I thought about using a router.  The internet showed me lots of fancy designs, but this is what I came up with.

Accuracy could have been improved but the belt sander took care of it and here's the result.

Common sense is unfortunately not as common as its name suggests.
