1>The Rail Guide Coping Sled is an indispensable tool for making precise, square, clean cuts for door and drawer fronts.
2>When building cope and stick door and drawer fronts, one of the tasks that must be done is to cut the end grains of your rails. This sounds easy enough, however the narrower your rails are, the more difficult it is to hold the stock firmly up against a router table fence. Our 3>Rail Guide Coping Sled solves this issue and helps you make precise, square, clean cuts for rail and style doors, drawer fronts and most any other type of end grain cut on your router table.
4>The idea behind the Rail Guide Coping Sled is simple; hold your rails firmly at a 90 degree angle to your router table fence so you can feed your stock through the cutter for the cleanest, squarest cuts possible. When doing drawer fronts which often times use very narrow rails, this sled will prevent your stock from dipping or pushing in too far and also keeps your hands away from harm.
5>We have included a single sacrificial block with the sled to get you started with your first profile. The sacrificial block helps to prevent end grain blowout at the back of your end grain cuts. Also included is an abrasive strip that is adhered to the adjustable fence. The abrasive strip keeps your stock from sliding or wandering during the coping process. That, along with the heavy duty hold down toggle keeps your stock firmly in place.
6>Many sleds rely on the miter slot for reference. Our coping sled uses the fence as a reference instead. The Rail Guide Coping Sled Pro features a clear acrylic fence for reference which is offset and raised 2″ above the base so you won’t cut into the sled. Using a fence rather than a miter bar mounted to the bottom means that you will always be parallel to the router table fence. This is a distinct time saving advantage as you will no longer have keep re-adjusting your router table fence
