Cratos S01001 Router Sled

No. Along the main rails, effective cutting coverage is 1200 mm plus your surfacing bit diameter without S01002, or 950 mm plus the bit diameter with S01002 installed. Use the same units when adding. Check equipment compatibility separately.

The maximum table width is 1350 mm (53.15 in). This is the table fit dimension, not the cutting width. Maximum width alone does not confirm that a narrower table provides suitable support. Share your table dimensions and support layout with us if you are unsure.

The S01001 sled includes a pre-drilled router plate, a blank DIY plate, workpiece clamps and mounting hardware. Choose fasteners that match your router. The sled-only option excludes the router, surfacing bit, S01002 shroud, vacuum and worktable. Bundle contents vary; check the exact included models and shank size on the selected bundle page.

Bundle savings vary with current offers; there is no fixed discount across every configuration. Individual items may also be discounted. Compare the same components and quantities, and check the final total at checkout.

Select your destination using the store region selector, then check the shipping and return policy links near the purchase button. Delivery options and the final charges are confirmed at checkout. Return conditions and return-shipping responsibility depend on the reason for return; review the policy before ordering.

Longitudinal working length depends on your table and support arrangement, rather than the transverse width formula. Support and secure the workpiece along its full travel and check end clearances. Send us the length, width, thickness and table layout for a large slab; the word “unlimited” is not a substitute for a support plan.

Use the model checker and the A/B hole-group table above. A and B are patterns on the pre-drilled plate. Bosch 1617/1618 listings apply to fixed bases. The second, blank PA plate provides a DIY drilling option for unlisted mounting patterns; confirm the base, fasteners and clearance rather than relying on brand alone.

With S01002 installed, transverse coverage is 950 mm plus the bit diameter, compared with 1200 mm plus the bit diameter without it. For example, a 63.5 mm (2.5 in) bit gives 1013.5 mm (39.90 in) with the shroud or 1263.5 mm (49.74 in) without it. This is a calculation example, not a bit-size recommendation.

No. They show the crossbar-to-table distance: 1.6 inches with the base bracket and 2.6, 3.6, 4.6, 5.6 or 6.6 inches with the lift bracket. Usable slab thickness depends on the mounted plate, cutter reach, shroud and clearances. The height checker helps estimate reach; the markings alone do not confirm a slab will fit.

In the supplied geometry, the mounting-plate offset changes from 0.8 inches without S01002 to 1.3 inches with it. For the same bracket setting and raw slab thickness, S01002 therefore adds 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) to the required plate-to-cutting-edge reach. The base formulas are E = 2.4 − T inches without S01002 and E = 2.9 − T inches with it.

Possibly. A thin slab, higher lift setting or S01002 can increase the reach required. Start with the lowest bracket position that provides clearance and compare the estimate with your safely configured router and bit. Do not reduce required shank engagement to gain reach. An extension must be approved for your router, collet, cutter and operating speed; the calculator does not select or approve one.

Use your router manual’s mounting dimensions to mark the supplied blank PA plate. Support and clamp it securely; the S01001 manual recommends a drill press and pilot holes. Check the cutter opening, screw thread and length, then verify secure seating and clearance with power disconnected. Ask for help before drilling if the mounting layout is uncertain.

The checked manual’s pre-drilled A/B table does not list Festool OF1400. A photo does not establish direct fit. The blank plate is the custom-drilling route; confirm your router base dimensions and installed clearances before ordering.

No automatic match is established. GKF1600CE is listed under hole group B; GOF1600CE and TREND T8 are not listed in the checked table. Their base patterns, fasteners and clearances need separate confirmation, with the blank plate as a potential DIY route.

A hole-pattern match identifies the mounting layout; it does not establish every load or operating limit. A maximum router mass and allowable rail deflection are not specified in the checked manual. Send the exact model and intended setup if you need confirmation for an unusually heavy router.

Match the shank to your router collet and check the router’s permitted cutter size and speed. Verify clearance through the mounting plate and S01002 if fitted, then check reach and cutting coverage. The width calculator’s examples are not cutter-size recommendations. Confirm the actual bit model and shank included in a bundle.

Stop the router, wait for the cutter to stop and disconnect power. Use a soft brush and vacuum to remove accessible chips from wheel surfaces and the surfaces they run on. Move the unpowered sled by hand to check for smooth travel. Debris under a wheel can lift the sled and change cutting depth, so keep these paths clear between passes.

Pause use if a wheel remains stiff, rough or seized after accessible debris is removed. Do not force the sled through a cut. Send your S01001 version or serial number and clear photos of the affected wheel and its mounting to support. Internal cleaning, adjustment or replacement must be matched to the wheel assembly; this page does not prescribe bearing disassembly, lubrication or compressed-air pressure.

You can still ask us to identify the part. Send the product version or serial number and clear stationary photos of the wheel and mounting; include an order number if available. We will need to confirm the correct wheel, availability and price. A previous replacement case does not guarantee current stock or a free replacement.

With power disconnected, check for chips under the wheels, consistent bracket settings on both sides, secure router mounting and stable workpiece support. Check cutter condition and the router/cutter instructions before another test pass. If unevenness persists, send setup photos and describe where it appears; the cause cannot be diagnosed from the surface mark alone.

Small brushes have been suggested as a way to keep roller paths clear, but a specific bolt-on brush kit is not confirmed here. Start with power-off brushing and vacuuming of accessible debris. Do not let an added brush interfere with travel or the cutter. Follow the equipment maker’s instructions for any compressed-air cleaning; it is not a confirmed remedy for a seized bearing.

S01002 is an optional chip-collection shroud that needs a suitable extraction connection. Collection depends on airflow, the hose connection, cutter, material and setup; it does not replace keeping the wheel paths clear. Check the changed cutting width and cutter-reach requirements before adding it.
