15) UJK Professional Coping Sled
(Code 102946)
When profiling the end grain of a narrow workpiece on the
router table, you need a way of holding the workpiece. This
is particularly relevant if your workpiece is narrower than
the gap in your router fence. The UJK Coping Sled holds
the key to working safely, securely and achieving accurate
results.
Developed and extensively tested by UJK, this Coping Sled
will transform the way you make end grain cuts for rail
and stile doors, tenons and many other joints. If you are
intending to make cabinet doors on your router table, the
Coping Sled is invaluable. It is by far the best was to secure
your workpiece, offering perfect results with a high degree
of safety. The Coping Sled takes the stress out of the pro-
cess. It ensures your workpiece is square to the table's mitre
slot and that it guides smoothly across the router bit.
The Coping Sled secures your workpiece both horizontally
and vertically. A slotted top plate holds the work firmly
against the sled's rear fence. This plate prevents kickback
and easily adjusts for material up to 135mm wide. Two
vertical clamps prevent the workpiece lifting during the
cut. The position of the foremost clamp, close to the point
of cut, significantly reduces vibration. The maximum work-
piece thickness is 40mm.
To prevent tear-out at the end of the cut, the Coping
Sled has a 45mm wide x 22mm deep nylon fence. Unlike
aluminium, nylon will not damage your router cutter. You
can use the fence as a spelcher if you wish or use an off-cut
to prevent tear-out. The fence includes a sliding flip-stop for
repeat cuts. A T-slot cutter is available should you wish to
make a replacement or custom wooden fence.
On the underside of the 10mm thick, low-friction
baseboard is a 19 x 9.5mm (3/4" x 3/8") mitre slot bar. It
will fit both plain and T-slot mitre slots. Two grub screws,
150mm apart, allow adjustment for zero play in the slot. The
bar has a choice of five positions to accommodate a wide
variety of router tables.
Two large rubberised handles provide a firm safe grip for
complete control. The design allows you to position the
handles directly over the work. The sled's handles make
sure both your hands remain a safe distance from the
router bit. A clear, full width Plexiglas shield acts as a chip
deflector.
