EXTENDED CAPACITY 1511 COPING SLED GUIDE Optional accessory, sold
separately
When making through-tenons or other deep cross-grain cuts, you may need more
offset than the standard guide offers (maximum 1 inch). The optional Deep Cut
Coping Sled Guide increases your clearance to 3 inches. It’s simple to change
from the standard guide to the Deep Cut Guide just two knobs. Like the
standard guide, you’re following the fence, not a miter track, so the fence
needs only to be adjusted for depth of cut and not kept parallel to the miter
slot. You can find the Deep Cut Coping Sled Guide on our website
woodpeck.com -or- call Customer Service at
800-752-0725 to order.
SETTING THE ACRYLIC GUIDE
Setting the Acrylic Guide only takes a minute, but is vital for proper operation.
- First loosen the two Star Knobs (i) which secure the Acrylic Guide © to the Top Track©.
- Insert a 3/4″ scrap wood spacer between the Base CD and your router fence. The spacer may need to be thicker if the router bit would otherwise contact the Base. Figure I.
- While holding the Coping Sled up against the wood spacer and the router fence, slide the Acrylic Guide up against the router fence and tighten the two Star Knobs.
NOTE : The Acrylic Guide should be the only part of the Coping Sled that runs against the router fence during use. It needs to be adjusted to keep the Base from contacting the router bit. At no time should the Base come in contact with the router fence or the router bit. For larger cutters, it may be necessary to use a wider spacer.
MORE ABOUT YOUR COPING SLED … Figure J.
- The Coping Sled is designed to provide the support and control necessary to route across the end grain of a board. This is a necessary procedure for making raised panel doors as well astenon cuts. In most cases, the board will be less than 5″ wide. With this small amount of surface area, it would be nearly impossible to guide the end along the router fence to safely make a profile cut without a Coping Sled.
- The majority of force exerted on the board is torque. In other words as the router bit is spinning in one direction, it is trying to spin your board the opposite direction. Controlling this torque is the function of the Fence and Top Plate.
- Using the Top Plate is simple, insert the board between the Coping Sled Fence and the Top Plate. Slide the Top Plate back against the board and tighten the two Star Knobs.
- Now hold the Acrylic Guide against the router fence and slide the board in until it bottoms out against it. Position the Clamp Beam Assembly over the center of the board and tighten both hold down Clamp Beam Assembly Knobs. These should only be moderately tight. Excessive force is not needed and could lead to warping of the Base plate
