SpeTool EU S01001 freesslede en S01002 stofafzuigkap, bundelset

The sled arrived sooner than expected, which was nice. No damage to package. Assembled as per instruction manual, no issues. I also purchased the upgraded sled with the dust collection, again easy to assemble. I used an old 20 year RONA plunge router, just needed to drill new hole pattern and find longer bolts to fasten to sled. Bought a 3 wing spoil board carbide cutter as well, worked great with a nice finish.

This product works great. A 40" workbench was just right, and so much cheaper than the $700 versions. The router slide is friction as opposed to bearings, but slides smooth regardless. Highly recommend for a hobbiest who occasionally needs to flatten a slab.

My first use was a new custom-built mahogany entry door with an interior profile too proud for door hardware installation. I simply set up the sled to run on the door styles and reduced the profile accordingly.
The top rail of the door was too short to accomplish the routing with the standard setup. I fabricated two pieces of 1/8" aluminum plate to cantilever the router base to extend the reach of the router by 6" to get the job done.

Sono soddisfatto delle prestazioni del prodotto
che avrei considerato ottimo se avesse montato delle spazzole per tenere pulite le ruote nel loro percorso grazie comunque

I had previously been doing all my slab flattening on a home made sled. It worked ok and it got the job done, but it had many limitations, some of which I didn't even realize until I started using the SpeTool sled. The first issue was that it had too much flex in the wood rails and would sag when I tried flatting slabs larger than about 20" wide. The second issue was the mess it made in the shop. It was actually so bad that I would have to use it outside. The biggest draw back however, wasn't realized until I started using the SpeTool sled. With the SpeTool sled I was able to work the router with the grain down the long side of the Slab This was something that I couldn't really do with my homemade sled. Working with the grain produces a smoother surface and is less work in my opinion. Then when you add in the dust collection, I was able to work in my shop again. Now I am not going to say you won't need to vacuum when you are done, but the mess is drastically less than with no dust collection. Also, the aluminum rails are much stiffer than my wood ones and don't flex nearly as much over larger spans. I would absolutely put this kit at the top of my list if I was setting a small garage shop up for slab flattening.

Instead of making my own, I purchased this because of the lower price, adjustable height, low weight, quick set-up, and easy storage. It was delivered well packaged and directions (along with their video) made assembly fairly straightforward. To date I’ve only flattened one 8 foot slab. I took the time to make a base out of 2x4s and use sawhorses. The router plate didn’t fit my Bosch router so I had to drill holes. It did as advertised.
My disappointments are the slight flexing of the aluminum extrusions while routing, and the amount of sawdust build-up under the wheels. I’m hoping to improve on this. I did use compressed air often. Overall, it meets expectations for an entry-level sled.
Four stars

The router sled was easy to assemble overall. This sled is solid and does a good job flattening slabs. The wheels and router plate operate smoothly. The height adjustment comes in handy for larger projects. One suggestion to make the product better is to add brush guards on each side of the wheels to help keep wood chips away from them. Overall, a nice router sled.

The router sled is made from good quality materials. Once the sled is assembled, it is solid... It is as expected and does what it's supposed to, so no complaints here and would be 5 stars if it came assembled.

I really like the sled height adjustment, it has several rest locations that make it easy to adjust for the different slab thicknesses.
To be honest, I was really angry at the lack of good instructions, and all the extra time that it took, and could have easily deducted more stars... but the end product is truly a nice system and do recommend the finished product. It is a really nice-quality system.

The last picture shown is how I store it when not in-use... Hanging on slat-board hooks.

The sled is quality, but because of the assembly issues, 4 Stars from me.

Love it! Has made life easier in the shop. Really easy to put together as well.

works great!

Exactly as described and super fast delivery.

The router sled is fantastic and smooth as butter even on my old crusty assembly table. A must buy if your needing to flatten slabs or cutting boards on a budget. The 3” bit however sounds good on paper but even on my lowest speed setting on the router it has a wicked vibration. The dust surrounding on the other hand is a must have unless you get off on clean up because the router sure slings it.

Excellent product!!

I built a homemade sled several years ago and finished several nice projects with it. When it started falling apart I decided to buy the SpeTool. That was a good decision. It is MUCH BETTER than my old homemade unit.

The router sled is perfect for what im doing . Worked great the couple times ive used it

I purchased this router sled for the ability to adjust the height of the router, and it works great, very easy compared to my old method of clamping 2x4's to the rail

Love the tool but it took a bit to get it together, I ended up watching short YouTube videos and stopping and starting again. Very nice tool, I had some adjusting because my Milwaukee router was a bit smaller than the full size template they sent (my mistake) but I ordered a smaller shank bit from spe tools and expect it in any day I can’t wait to use it.

Very well built and works as expected. Pleased with this purchase

An excellent solution to Slab flattening. Many other jigs limit you to 8 feet. I really like that this jig has an unlimited length, and and for a fraction of the price of other makers.

Great piece of equipment,works great on wood that is Fubar,makes it useable

This router sled makes short work of oak/cherry and walnut boards and rounds.

Works great definitely woryh it. Glad I bought the spetool easy to adjust height. Using it with a Wen router.

Works like it should. realize you might need an extender on your router and bit to get deep enough for doing the work.

This has quickly become an essential tool for me. Out of the box, assembly was easy but I will say the instructions were not super clear. That said, not hard to figure out what to do. Rails are sturdy, wheels roll smoothly and it made flattening simple. My only complaint is that even at the lowest setting my flattening bit barely reaches a 1” thick board. I had to prop it up with a sheet of 3/4” ply to get close enough to fully flatten. That’s more of an inconvenience than a deal breaker. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

Great addition to a woodworking shop
