Best DIY version for the money
I had built my own router sled for flattening slabs about a year and half ago. Overall it did the job but I never was thrilled with the sled portion and wanted to upgrade to an aluminum frame with wheels along the side such as this. However the only other version is too expensive for what it was and I was not going to spend time sourcing t track and wheels…brackets etc.Then I kept seeing vevors version and I thought heck for two hundred bucks it saves me time making the sled. I had built a table so I just needed the sled. This worked great.Overall assembly is pretty easy especially if you have worked any sleds before. However you need to make your own router plate. Just order a piece of 3/8” plexi about 10x10 inches and make your own plate. I have a laser so it was easy for me to make the plate to fit my router. Perfect fit. It slides easily through the track and once adjusted the t track no side to side movement.The wheels work as expected….I just made rails from a planed 2x4x8 cut to 2” wide as that gave me the height I needed….I flatten some thick stuff so I need about 4” from bed to bit.So if you just want to save time jimmy rigging the sled this works great. Making the table is easy…you don’t need to overcomplicate it.

Outstanding Router Sled
Very sturdy. Extremely adjustable. Doesn’t come with a mount for your router, as this would limit you on routers. Used plywood. Very happy with this purchase.And it’s $250 cheaper than the competition.

Cheaply made broke on first use!!
Broke on first use. Got 5 cuts made before it broke. Cheap metal and poorly made.

It’s better than nothing
The body of the sled is pretty stout. There are a couple things that could be better. 1. The rails are hard to adjust because the screws end up behind the wheels or at least close enough it takes small hands and some finagling to tighten the screws. 2. The wheel path ends up with lots of saw dust and if not cleaned continuously, the sled can ride up and down and the saw dust leaving ridges on the wood. 3. Saw dust gets in the router base track and creates chattering sometimes.Of course all these things can be overcome by just keeping the area clean.

Hardware could be better
Had to replace the hardware to make this work. It’s hard to adjust
