![]() Cheers!īelow is the full video of me using it for the first time on a set of Walnut Butcher Block Bedside Tables I was making. I recommend taking it from the same sled base piece that you've already cut the base and 2" guide pieces from (you should have plenty of extra to do this - and then just screw them in or use brad nails). UPDATE - A lovely user pointed out (what I should have much earlier!) that adding a simple 1/2" piece to each side of the sled would be a good idea to prevent it from moving too far over on either side and hitting the edge. Also, because your router will have a bit of wiggle room, you'll want to make passes with your router base plate up against both walls so the hole is clean, consistent, and slightly larger than your actual dado bit width. ![]() NOTE - You have the freedom to route this hole as wide as you'd like, but be careful not to do it too wide as you'll hit your sled base walls. Once you have made multiple passes and cut all of the way through, you should end up with a groove ( Pic 3) that you can now pass your dado bit through and surface any piece of wood, etc. ![]() Using your Plunge Router and a Dado Bit ( Pic 1), plunge your router into your sled to begin routing a groove ( Pic 2). If you have larger or more specific needs, you can take this general approach and adapt your dimensions to fit your needs
