A router sled, also known as a router table fence, is a versatile woodworking tool used to guide a router along a straight or curved path, enabling precise cuts and shaping of materials. It consists of a flat platform with a track or fence system that securely holds the workpiece and guides the router, providing stability and control during the cutting process.
Router sleds offer numerous advantages in woodworking. They enhance safety by keeping hands away from the router bit, reducing the risk of accidents. The sled’s precision allows for consistent and accurate cuts, minimizing waste and improving the overall quality of the finished product. Additionally, router sleds facilitate the creation of complex shapes and intricate joinery, expanding the range of woodworking possibilities.
