It’s the stiffest, flattest and most secure coping sled on the market. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe foundation of the Iron-Grip\u003c\/strong\u003e Coping Sled is a precision-machined anodized aluminum base milled from cast and ground tool plate – the most stable aluminum material on the market. Four UHMW glide strips are added to the bottom of the 11-1\/2\" square base to minimize friction and keep the Iron-Grip moving smoothly. What you won’t find on the bottom of the base is a bar to fit in a miter gauge slot. It doesn’t need one. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstead of guiding off the miter gauge track,\u003c\/strong\u003e the Iron-Grip Coping Sled guides off the fence. This eliminates the tedious job of aligning the fence perfectly parallel to the track. Just get the fence aligned to the bearing of the router bit, align the fence guide on the coping sled to the router table fence and you’re good to go. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe crystal-clear fence guide\u003c\/strong\u003e is 3\/8\" thick and 15-1\/2\" long, making it ideal to work with any router table fence, whether it’s a Woodpeckers fence, another brand or one you’ve built yourself…it handles them all \u003cem\u003e(needs to be at least 3\" tall)\u003c\/em\u003e. With 3\" of depth adjustment, it can even handle the deep tenon cuts needed on entry doors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe’ve taken a “belt \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esuspenders” approach\u003c\/strong\u003e to securing your work to the Iron-Grip Coping Sled. First, an adjustable top plate captures your work against the rigid back fence, preventing rotational movement. Second, coming down from the top, the new Iron-Grip stainless spring steel clamp gives you two points of contact with only one knob to adjust. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe clamp slides effortlessly right or left\u003c\/strong\u003e to position the clamping pads right where you need them. Once adjusted to the thickness of your stock, it takes less than one full turn of the knob to release the stock and slide in the next piece. It’s faster than a pair of toggle clamps and won’t distort your sled the way toggle clamps do. The adjustable plate accommodates stock up to 5-3\/4\" wide and the Iron-Grip clamp holds stock up to 1-3\/4\" thick.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe newly designed back fence\u003c\/strong\u003e has a T-slot to mount a sacrificial backer. The backer prevents blow-out where the router bit exits your stock. Just chop the end off and slide the piece forward when you change projects. You’ll get three MDF backer boards with your Iron-Grip. When they’re gone you can make your own from scraps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLike all Woodpeckers products,\u003c\/strong\u003e the Iron-Grip Coping Sled is precisely machined and carefully inspected in our Strongsville, Ohio, manufacturing facility (just south of Cleveland). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eProtected by US PATENT NO. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eD985,639.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodpeckers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43516931571771,"sku":"IGCS","price":379.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/6652\/2939\/files\/iron-grip_coping-sled_01-a_1.jpg?v=1778871795","url":"https:\/\/woodpeck.com\/products\/iron-grip-coping-sled","provider":"Woodpeckers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
