11) UJK Technology 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 Technology
Coping Sled holds the key to working safely, securely and
achieving accurate results.
Developed and extensively tested by UJK Technology, 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 wa
to secure your workpiece, offering perfect results with a
high degree of safety. The Coping Sled takes the stress out
of the process. 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
workpiece 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 base-
board 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.
