Larger size flattening table I built

This sled is wider, longer, and deeper than the previous one I'd built.

It can handle roughly 18" wide x 36" x 3" workpieces

I built spacers to hold smaller workpieces closer to the router.

The Bosch 1617 handles the 2" x 1/2" bit pretty darn well. I'm taking relatively large passes - about half diameter x .1 - .2 inch depth per pass depending on material.

And here it is flat, just a little bit of sanding needed. After flattening I can start right at 120 grit and work my way up.

With the spacers it doubles as a glue up table. It gives me nice access all the way around for clamps, and glue doesn't stick to the anodized aluminum. You'll also notice I don't have an MDF bed like the last one, everything is square to the aluminum itself and makes the whole jig lightweight and easy to store. Thanks for reading!
