Deluxe Coping Safety Sled



Works perfectly for tricky cross-grain rail cuts, eliminating the need to make the router table fence and mitre slot parallel. Small and narrow cuts will be no problem. A 500 lb. holding clamp and a special abrasive strip hold your material in place once you align it flush with the outer edge. Just glide the sled along your router fence using the sturdy plastic handle. Cut into the backer block (reducing sloppy tearout), completing your cut. Backer block is replaceable, allowing use of multiple profiles. This 4-3/4" x 15-3/4", 3/8" thick PVC sled can also hold smaller workpieces, keeping fingers away from dangerous blades. REMEMBER: Always keep router bits seated with at least 1 inch of metal gripped by the collet.

Could be a "Value added" item (2/5), Jan 16, 2012

By Jeffrey Walker (Phoenix Ar US)

I found that learning to use a coping sled for the first time resulted in some problems especially on my job where I opted to use it with the stacked rail & stile cutter #8872, where the bit is used at two different heights, one for the rail cope (with sled) and the other for the stiles. I understood from the sales information that the use of the sled would entail the cutter shaving away part of the "replacable stop block" on the sled. I was unprepared however to see that the lower part of the stacked cutter would also take out a huge piece of the sled itself. (Thereby damaging it).

Also, with a small amount of extra machining in the manufacture of the sled, the mounting holes for the handles & stop block could be duplicated on the opposite end of the sled. After a lot of careful measuring & drill press work, I was able to "swap ends" with the sled base and recover a new useable edge to put up against the fence. The stacked cutter still cuts away part of the sled surface, but being aware of that fact.....I now know to be more cautious & stop the forward progress of the sled as soon as the cope has cleared the center line of the cutter bit. This way, only the first inch or two of the sled gets damaged leaving the long remainder of its edge available to align with the fence.

Another thing that I found curious if not inconvenient while re-drilling the various mounting holes in the sled was that the threads that retain the rear handle and those that retain the perpendicular replaceable stop block are metric, while the thread that holds the forward handle is SAE 3/8 x 16.
MLCS should in my opinion redesign this sled with predrilled & pre threaded holes on each end and an extra set of threaded holes on the bottom of the replacable block so that the customer can easily reverse the sled and block end for end to utilize the "new" surfaces on the opposite ends. Once I learned more fully how to use it, the sled does make nice end copes easy, however the hold down clamp is not capable of clamping the set up block to the sled for accurate height adjustments. Therefore, the setup block also needs to be made longer on the back side so that it extends out across the sled far enough for the hold down clamp to correctly secure it on the sled.

Base too flexible and fragile (1/5), Oct 20, 2011

By Bob Pearce (Paonia CO US)

Under clamping pressure this unit flexes the baseplate greater than 1/16th inch and completely misaligns the cut. The thumbwheels to tighten the blocks even have fractured the baseplate at the T slot. Agree with others that the concept is good but the baseplate is pathetic. Needs to be aluminum.


delux coping sled (5/5), Jun 10, 2011

By Joe Holman (Athens Al US)

I need directions for use on table saw


Bends (3/5), May 19, 2011

By Martin (Mt Crested Butte Co US)

Whereas the idea is good with the tension on the clamp set to minimum, the base of the sled (Plexiglass) bends far to easily. It would be probaly better if the base was made out of something stiffer (alumimum plate perhaps).


Bob (5/5), Jan 8, 2010

By Bob Caranci (Port St Lucie FL US)

I purchased a deluxe coping sled. I find that when appling pressure to the hold down, the plastic base will pull up which takes the base off the router table. I will be returning this product because the base is not strong enough to resist the pressure exerted by the hold down. This tool is not very well constructed.
