Put together a DIY router sled for less than $100.
if you’re curious, but it’s a simple process. First, flatten one face of the board, on a jointer if you have one. Then trim one edge, making sure it’s perpendicular to the flat face. Next, flatten the remaining face, with a planer if you have one, and trim it to its final width on a table saw. Finally, trim the boards to their final length.
These spacers can be made from whatever wood you have lying around, and don’t need to be perfectly flat or square. They should all be the same width, though, about ⅛-inch wider than the base of your router. Cut these out on your table saw, miter saw, or with a hand saw—whichever tool is handiest for you.If you have more than one router, use your most powerful one in the sled. I’ve tried flattening with my 1.25-horsepower DeWalt palm router, and while it can technically do the job, it struggles.
