Coping Sled recommendations

[stvrowe]

I think so.  From what I recall, it was $149 when I purchased mine a long..... time ago.  Felder also sells the Contermax.

My favorite is the Aigner Contermax.  I have used this jig for over 12 years and have had zero regrets and zero desire to even look at or try anything else.

Are those Martin prices accurate?

Sorry for the interruption  [embarassed]

One day I will make my own as I like the homemade one by clark_fork.

JC, make one. A foot of 80/20 bar, a square foot of some 1/2" black UHMW (tolerance -0.070" to +0.070") and some Bessey auto adjust clamps should to it.

Yes - I like simple too and there isn't a bunch of fiddley knobs and setup to deal with.  Setup with the shaper cutter or router table is referenced from the table.  Only limitation is that your stock needs to be thicker than about 5/8" if I recall correctly.

Steve: That looks pretty good. Simple, like me.

I use the Woodpeckers and like it (base is thin but stable; don't mind the screw down clamps), but it is has been my first and only coping sled, so I can't say how it compares to others.  One thing to double check on coping sleds is the height of the plastic guide that travels along the router fence.  You just have to make sure that it doesn't line up with the T-slot (if you have one) in your fence.  You should be able modify the sled should this happen to raise the guide, but that would be an extra step obviously.

Ditto.

I added a toggle to hold an anti-tear out piece with a separate clamp. Makes the swapping of work pieces faster since the anti-tear out piece stays put. Same dual T-track could also be a place to mount toggles to hold the work piece.

I like that toggle clamp modification.  Nice job!

I have a Woodpecker's mini coping sled (pretty sure it was a OTT), which works fine for me since I have a portable Bosch router table.

One item of note I stumbled upon a while back when doing a Google search for a OTT. There's an authorized dealer site here in Mass. (www.shopwoodpeckers.com) that sometimes has lower prices than the Woodpeckers site and offers free shipping with purchases over a certain $ amount. I've never used them, if I did they'd charge Mass sales tax.

If I remember correctly the Mini Coping Sled wasnt an OTT, it was a regularly produced item that is now discontinued.

I wanted an infinity but they were on back order when I needed one. Got the Woodhaven and it worked well
