OPTION "C" - PARTS 3" OR THICKER
This
method
(not shown)
works well for resurfacing
butcher blocks, thick workbenches and more. Maximum depth
of cut without repositioning the rails is approximately 1/4".
Make two rectangular rails out of 1-1/2" x 3" material. The
part edges must be parallel, or the rails must be shimmed as
necessary so they're parallel, for this method to work. Fasten
the rails to the sides of the part using bar clamps or screws,
making sure both rails are on the same plane.
The rails should be positioned approximately 1" to 1-1/8"
below the surface of the part. Or you may want to measure up
from the bottom of the part, especially if it's surface is uneven,
to insure the part will be an even thickness. The rails must
be straight and longer than the part length by at least
12" (for the 3000 Planing Sled) or 16-20" (for the
3002 & 3004 Planing Sleds).

In use, the bottom of the Double Track rails of the
Planing Sled will ride on the top of the 1-1/2" wide wood
rails and their inside edges will ride against the parallel
edges of the part.
