A router table sled for use with a router table fence and a router table top, the sled comprising:Īn arm assembly slidably engaging an upper edge of the fence Ī main strut coupled to the arm assembly Ī clamp strut coupled to the main strut andĪ lower strut coupled to the main strut, each of the main strut, clamp strut, and lower strut having a top face, a bottom face, a front face, and a rear face, each face having a laterally centered, longitudinal T-shaped slot therein.ġ8.
The router table sled, as recited in claim 2, wherein the main strut is disposed above a bit opening in the table top.ġ7.
The router table sled, as recited in claim 1, wherein the slide is disposed above a bit opening in the table top.ġ6. The router table sled, as recited in claim 2, further comprising means for holding a workpiece flush with the clamp strut.ġ5. The router table sled, as recited in claim 2, wherein the lower clamp and the clamp strut are oriented with respect to the main strut so that a workpiece may have a surface abutting the clamp strut and may be guided across a router bit extending from an opening in the table top.ġ4. The router table sled, as recited in claim 11, wherein the second surface of the workpiece lies in a plane substantially parallel to at least one cutting edge of a router bit extending from an opening in the table top.ġ3. The router table sled, as recited in claim 2, wherein the lower clamp and the clamp strut are oriented with respect to the main strut so that a workpiece may have a first surface abutting the clamp strut and a second surface abutting the fence.ġ2. The router table sled, as recited in claim 2, wherein each of the main strut front and top faces and the clamp strut front and top faces, and the lower strut front and top faces have a longitudinal T-slot therein.ġ1.
The router table sled, as recited in claim 2, further comprising means for engaging the clamp strut and the lower strut with the main strut so that the clamp strut and the lower strut may slide longitudinally relative to the main strut while maintaining vertical alignment relative to each other.ġ0. The router table sled, as recited in claim 7, further comprising a sliding key parallel to the fixed key and positionable along a length of the lower strut.ĩ. The router table sled, as recited in claim 2, further comprising a fixed key protruding orthogonally from the lower strut.Ĩ. The router table sled, as recited in claim 5, further comprising:Ĭoupled to the clamp strut, a clamp spur having teeth that engage the backup block.ħ.
The router table sled, as recited in claim 2, further comprising a backup block disposed between opposed ends of the clamp strut and the lower strut.Ħ. The router table sled, as recited in claim 2, wherein opposed ends of the clamp strut and the lower strut may be positioned abutting or separated by a selected distance.ĥ. The router table sled, as recited in claim 2, wherein front faces of the main strut, the clamp strut, and the lower strut are in substantially the same plane.Ĥ. The router table sled, as recited in claim 1, wherein the strut assembly further comprises:Ī main strut that engages the lower edge of the arm Ī clamp strut engaging the main strut andģ. A router table sled for use with a router table fence and a router table top, the sled comprising:Ī slide for slidably engaging the router table fence Ī strut assembly for adjustably engaging the arm.Ģ.
