I primarily flatten edge grain cutting boards. I built a combination juice groove and flattening jig. I use the long rails screwed to a 30" x 30" piece of 3/4 plywood and move them where I need them to be and simply screw them in place. The inner bottom edge sets back the juice groove and also serves to space the board when flattening. So I just set the board in place and move the long inner edge right up against the board use the short edge to hold the board. It works great and saves space as I just drill a hole in a corner and hang it on the wall.

So long as your side rails are all true and you work out plunge depths IE max and min you could flip your side rails when you want to go lower, using the narrower rail as the upright, by doing this you can use the sled for a larger variety of thickness.

Hey man, great video. Thank you for the recommendation on the bit. I think I'll grab one for my adventures. Seems your sponsor for the bit gave you a discount on the bit that ends up being more than the manufacturer's Amazon account sells it for-(end price about 67% compared to the 85% they offered you here) you may want to talk with them about updating that, to help customer build relationships with them instead of Besos- just my thoughts if the ad revenue is to make better long term sense for you both. Constructive criticism, hoping to help out fellow makers. You got a subscription from me for sure. Clear, concise, effectively communicated the details. I'm grateful to your video and look forward to more to come.

My Amazon purchased work bench is planked construction pine. I want to add a nice dead flat mdf top. This looks the best way to flat those planks prior to fitting the mdf. Instead of fitting the rails to the top of the bench, I will screw them to the sides with standoffs to get a full bench width coverage by the router. The bench top is preassembled with framing nails😳….So I hope they stop well under the surface or it will cost me a surfacing bit!!!! Router: I only have a Dewalt cordless brushless trim router with the optional plunge base. It will run about an hour on its 5Ah battery, but the surfacing bit is only 1 inch dia, and you can’t bog the little motor…So I am looking at a long job huh, but it will be a bit of fun!

It worked great but did take several passes and a few hours. My router is quite small but I do plan to use a 35mm planning bit for my next project. Longer term I am getting the Makita RP2300 (2300watt) router with 60mm planning bit.

BIG MISTAKE!!!! the shaft length is so short it only stuck out about 1/16" past the jig itself and nowhere on the website does it give total length of bit. Of course I took the wax/plastic coating off the bit and tried it so now I can't return it. Had to drop the $98.00 to get the 2"×1/2" shank bit which sits about 3/4" farther out from the collet than the 1"×1/4". Now I have a unusable/nonrefundable $50.00 bit. Mehhhh

He was using Jesum’s stock guides so there was no way there was going to be kickback.

please dont hold your sled there while one handing the router, if that does for some reason catch and jump, your gonna mangle your hand to shreds 😮 that two inch bit will make short work of hand bones and tendons...maybe a hand protector for the next upgrade

"If you had a lighter slab, you may need to secure it to the table. Hot glue works pretty well for that." Really? Against the force of the router bit, it'll hold?

Yep! Works just fine as long as you don't take off a ton of material.

Chris Rogers it does! Especially the bigger heat glue guns, but the little hot glue guns work as well

For a simpler cleanup, just add painter's tape to both the table and the slab, then use CA glue to join the two ends of painter's tape. It's used quite often as a holding method for CNC machines. When you're done, lift the slab and peel off the tape.

Nice, but put casters on that work bench and do that shit outside. Now your whole work space is covered in fine sawdust. Also, there are way too many ripples on that finished slab. Your router may need to be shimmed on one side. Good luck.

Ever tried to film a good video outside? When I do it off camera it's definitely outside. Also the lines aren't as bad as they look. They sand right out. 👍

@@WalkersWoodworks , I am two thirds building a slab jig, and I can tell already there will be ripples left behind. Too many variables

Hey people! For flattening big slabs 90-110cm/400-500cm is this worth it or even possible? Best, Malthe

Yes I've flattened big slabs with it. Just takes a long time.

4 foot by 16 feet? Yes, but now you are welding. Probably outside unless you have barn.
