When profiling the end grain of a narrow work piece on the
router table,you need a way of holding the work piece.This
is particularly relevant if your work piece is narrower than
the gap in your router fence.
The UJK Technology Coping Sled holds the key to working
safely, securely and achieving accurate results. Developed
and extensively tested by UJK Technology, this Coping Sled
will transform the way you make end grain cuts for rail and
stile doors, tenons and many other joints.If you are
intending to make cabinet doors on your router table, the
Coping Sled is invaluable. It is by far the best way to secure
your work piece,offering perfect results with a high degree
of safety. The Coping Sled takes the stress out of the process.
It ensures your work piece is square to the table’s mitre slot
and that it guides smoothly across the router bit.
The Coping Sled secures your work piece both horizontally
and vertically.A slotted top plate holds the work firmly against
the sled’s rear fence.This plate prevents kickback and easily
adjusts for material up to 135mm wide.Two vertical clamps
prevent the work piece lifting during the cut.The position of
Introduction
the foremost clamp, close to the point of cut, significantly
reduces vibration.The maximum work piece thickness is
40mm.To prevent tear-out at the end of the cut,the Coping
Sled has a 45mm wide x 22mm deep nylon fence. Unlike
aluminium, nylon will not damage your router cutter.You
can use the fence as a spelcher if you wish or use an off-cut
to prevent tear-out.The fence includes a sliding flip-stop for
repeat cuts. A T-slot cutter is available should you wish to
make areplacement or custom wooden fence).
On the underside of the 10mm thick, low-friction baseboard
is a 19 x 9.5mm (3/4”x 3/8”) mitre slot bar.It will fit both plain
and T-slot mitre slots.Two grub screws, 150mm apart, allow
adjustment for zero play in the slot.The bar has a choice of
five positions to accommodate a wide variety of router tables.
Two large rubberised handles provide a firm safe grip for
complete control.The design allows you to position the
handles directly over the work.The sled’s handles make sure
both your hands remain a safe distance from the router cutter.
A clear, full width Plexiglas shield acts as a chip deflector.

Setting up and operating your sled
Introduction
The UJK Technology professional coping sled has been designed toease the cutting of difficult end grain timber sections on the
router table,from short lengths that are tricky to hold through to longer lengths that become a problem to balance and support.
The unique design of the UJK sled solves these problems allowing the safe cutting of end grain sections.The sled is ideal for the
cutting of components that have tenons and scribe interlocking joints. It makes them easier and more accurate to produce,but
also provides support and control making this task safer for the user.
Ensure that the router is disconnected from the power supply
until total set up.Check that everything is assembled and
tighten before using:
1. Load the router cutter to be used into the router, ensure
that the power is disconnected,position the assembled sled
into the T track on the router table. The guide washer will
need to locate into the T track, the washer needs to be
positioned at the front of the base board.Check the position
of the main base ensuring that this clears the diameter cutter.
It is possible to adjust the position of the base board by
undoing the two screws that hold the T bar in place, and
reposition parallel using the 5 pre drilled countersunk fixing
holes on either end of the base board.The aim is to get the
base board as near to the cutter to add support to the
workpiece, but ensure that the board does not make contact
with the cutter by revolving the cutter by hand. Ensure the
screws are re tightened.
2. Remove the sled from the table.Set up the main fence
on the router table; this needs to be set to the depth of cut
required (this might need more than one pass).It is important
that the fence is parallel to the T slot in the table. If using a
cutter with a bearing, set up the fence in line with the bearing,
and ensure that the fence is parallel to the T slot. Reposition
the sled on the table and check the position of the clear
Plexiglas guard.This may also need to be adjusted by
repositioning on the set of pre drilled holes; ensure that it
clears the fence.
3. To load and hold a workpiece, ensure the length stop is not
obstructing by pivoting out the way. Wind up the hold down
clamp heads so that the workpiece can be slid through the
body of the sled lining up parallel to with the nylon fence.The
fence on the router table acts as a length stop.The end grain
face of the workpiece should hit the router fence squarely, with
no gaps.This visual check allows the user to check the set up.
If there is a gap,check that the router table fence is parallel to
the T slot or the grain face of workpiece is cut square.
4. To hold the workpiece within the sled, slacken off the
pressure of the two knobs securing the top clamping plate.
Slide the top plate back to make contact with the workpiece.
The timber section is in positioned and secured between
the top plate and the nylon fence. Tighten the two top plate
clamping knobs to hold the clamping plate in place.
5. With the hold down clamps not screwed down on the
timber, it is possible to adjust the position of the clamping
beam. The aim is to adjust the position of the clamping beam
so that the pressure is central to the workpiece.This is done by
slackening off the two clamping beam locking knobs and the
operating handle on the opposite side of the sled, this allows
the clamping beam to slide along the length of the sled. Once
centralised on the workpiece,re tighten the handle and knobs.
When the clamping beam is positioned,the workpiece can be
held in place by gently tightening down the clamp head onto
the workpiece, securing this in place within the sled.This will
not require a lot of pressure as this will only distort the base
board.
6. The nylon fence can be used to help reduce the splintering
and break out on the back edge of the workpiece. To do this
slacken off the pressure on the workpiece; on the underside
of the base board are the 5 screws that hold the nylon fence
in place. Slacken off all of these just enough to allow the fence
to slide, reposition on the table pushing the nylon fence in
towards the router table fence. Once set, re tighten the screws
to hold in place.The nylon fence can be cut with the cutter, and
will not damage the router cutter; the nylon will get worn away
doing this.It is possible to make a replacement wooden fence
using a key hole cutter.
7. To set up the cutting height of the router cutter, ensure
that the workpiece is held in position within the sled and
positioned on the in feed side of the router cutter.To view
what is going to be cut away with the router cutter, look in
from the far end of the out feed fence of the router table, raise
or lower the cutter height using the height adjustment of the
router. Ensure power to the router is still off.

If using shorter lengths of timber,then the length stop can be used.This is adjustable on the nylon sled fence by undoing the
wing nut, slide the length stop into position and re tighten in place.
If the workpiece is too short to be held by both clamp heads, use an offcut that is the same thickness as the workpiece. Place
this under the front clamp and use a piece of plywood to bridge over the top to of both pieces. Clamp down in place using both
clamps allowing equal pressure across the sled.The length stop can also be used within this set up.
The hold down clamps do not need over tightening.The work is held in place with the top plate, so a gentle twist is all that is
required on the lock knobs.
Ensure that the timber is well prepared, cut square and flat.On wider boards warping can be a real problem; to try to reduce this
from happening,G clamp these boards together as soon as they have been machined.

8. Do a test cut to check that everything is set up correctly.
Use an off cut to check the correct setting up of the cutter and
router table fence.Ensure that the work is held within the sled,
connect the power, load sled onto the T slot on the right hand
side of the table, connect power supply and ensure PPE is used.
start the router and extractor. Push the sled gently along the T
Slot line, working from the right to left across the router table.
Work at an even pace, giving the cutter time to remove the
timber. Stop the router and check the results. If another cut is
needed, lift off the sled from the left hand side of the table and
reload on the right hand side. Do not drag back through the
cutter as this can damage the cutter.
9. Once happy with the set up of the cutter height,the position
of the router table fence and sled, the workpieces can now be
cut.
