Description of πŸ”ͺ Fulton Rail Guide Coping Sled PRO: Achieve Precise End Grain Profile Cuts for Cabinet Door and Drawer Fronts

The Rail Guide Coping Sled Pro is an indispensable tool for making precise, square, clean cuts for door and drawer fronts. When building cope and stick door and drawer fronts, one of the tasks that must be done is to cut the end grains of your rails. This sounds easy enough, however the narrower your rails are, the more difficult it is to hold the stock firmly up against a router table fence. Our Rail Guide Coping Sled Pro solves this issue and helps you make precise, square, clean cuts for rail and style doors, drawer fronts and most any other type of end grain cut on your router table. The idea behind the Rail Guide Coping Sled Pro is simple; hold your rails firmly at a 90 degree angle to your router table fence so you can feed your stock through the cutter for the cleanest, squarest cuts possible. When doing drawer fronts which often times use very narrow rails, this sled will prevent your stock from dipping or pushing in too far and also keeps your hands away from harm. We have included a single sacrificial block with the sled to get you started with your first profile. The sacrificial block helps to prevent end grain blowout at the back of your end grain cuts. Also included is an abrasive strip that is adhered to the adjustable fence. The abrasive strip keeps your stock from sliding or wandering during the coping process. That, along with the heavy duty hold down toggle keeps your stock firmly in place. Many sleds rely on the miter slot for reference. Our coping sled uses the fence as a reference instead. The Rail Guide Coping Sled Pro features a clear acrylic fence for reference which is offset and raised 2” above the base so you won’t cut into the sled. Using a fence rather than a miter bar mounted to the bottom means that you will always be parallel to the router table fence. This is a distinct time saving advantage as you will no longer have keep re-adjusting your router table fence. This robust, full featured coping sled has a laminated 1⁄2” thick MDF base that slides across your router table surface effortlessly. The sled also features a large, heavy duty hold down toggle with a 1-5/8” hold down foot to keep your stock in place. The unit also includes two large and sturdy handles for guiding the sled through the cutter. The maximum stock size is 5” wide by 1 1⁄4” thick. Full instructions are included.

Big savings compared to other brands!

I've seen bad reviews because you have to put it together. It's a shame we live in a time when this gets bad reviews. Since buyers use it to properly cut wood for assembling door frames, assembly is not a problem in my opinion. This is a great product that gets the job done at a reduced price and the quality of the parts is the same as other more expensive models. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced sled.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Mostly ok, but...

The perfect tool at a great price! Highly recommended.

I tried to make some rails for the shaker doors with my hands and a router table but it didn't work. I knew I needed a sled like this for straight haircuts. I bought this and couldn't be happier. This is exactly what I needed, took less than 30 minutes to assemble and calibrate, and the cost is 1/3 the price of competitive models. tools from this manufacturer.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • faint

Most people need a router bit extension

This item is very similar to the item offered by MLCS. However, without good photos and explanations. Second, it doesn't come with any pre-built post and rail mounts, which makes setting up 3/4 stuff a little faster. I would happily pay more for these improvements. The extra height introduced by the platform will almost certainly require an extension of the slicer, and this brings its own problems. Otherwise there are no complaints. It works as advertised.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Definitely comparable

This is one of the very few inexpensive woodworking items that is worth the money. It's easy to set up, accurate, and easy to use bit sets. A protective piece of wood on the jig prevents breakage at the drill exit. Very happy with the jig, just made about 300ft of rail and steel doors and made it a lot easier on my router table than just using a corner stop. I'm sure the competitor lights work just as well and are just as easy to set up, but at half the price you can't go wrong.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Good product but smelled like mold

The box arrived with the worst smell of mold imaginable. The plastic handles, knobs and metal parts were in sealed plastic bags and were fine. Other plastic parts were wiped with Colrox wipes and the smell was gone. The basis is a plastic-coated fiber substrate. The wipes cleaned the plastic, but complete wetting of the substrate was negligible at best. After it dried I sealed the fiber with shellac which seemed to work. The napkins didn't do anything to the wooden offering block that went into

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Can't remember

Good stencil is good for stencil accessories

Good stencil. I probably should have made one, but I was too lazy. Assembly is pretty easy. Not difficult. The instructions are confusing, but you're unlikely to go wrong putting it together. I'm not keen on the toggle switch as it's adjustable and always seems to need adjustment. Not so hot what's up. The clamp has a large rubber end. The smaller end would be better as the large end seems to extend over the clamp bar. I just put a second piece of wood next to the one I'm cutting to increase…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • There are defects

Reliability, time savings, SECURITY. Worth every penny.

I never write reviews. This could be my first. I bought this sled after looking for safer ways to deal with splints, cuts on 2 fingers and a partial amputation of my 5th toe. The stretch I ran through got caught on something and three trees, pulled my arm over the fence and bit. I wasn't looking for a better, faster, and easier way to handle Rails, but I found it with this one anyway. Assembly/configuration is easy. If you can make a decent closet door, you can install this. If you are…

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
