Woodhaven 3000-3004: Planing Sleds - Manual (Page 3)

Set the Ultra Tracks on a flat surface, making sure they are
on the same plane. Install the Sled Brackets/Double Track on
the Ultra Tracks (4436, 4448 or 4460 depending on model pur-
chased) by sliding the bolt head/rib of the bracket into the T-slot
of each Ultra Track. For now, position the Sled Brackets so they
are 2" from the ends of the Ultra Tracks and tighten the ratchet
handles. See fig. 5.
Take the Router Sled (router should not be installed yet)
and place it as shown on the top of the two Ultra Track rails.
Loosen the knobs and four acorn nuts, dropping the Router Sled
slightly downward between the Ultra Tracks, then tighten the
acorn nuts. This adjustment should allow the four spacers of the
Router Sled to sit evenly on the Ultra Track rails. See fig. 6.
Flip the Router Sled over between the Ultra Tracks and
tighten the two knobs on the Router Sled so those spacers are
not touching the Ultra Track rail. Double check that the Router
Sled does not rock on the Ultra Track rails. See fig. 7.
Loosen one of the Ultra Track rails by loosing the Sled
Brackets where they attach to the Double Tracks. Adjust the
Ultra Track rail against the Router Sled so it moves freely, but
with very little side-to-side of slop between the Ultra Track
rails, then retighten the Sled Brackets. See fig. 7 & 8.
Install a spacer (BUSH050), washer (WB002) and knob
(5521) on a 3/4" bolt (HB020) and insert the head of each bolt
in the upper side T-slot of one of the Ultra Tracks. These act as
stops to control the front-to-back movement of the Router Sled
on the Ultra Track rails. See fig. 7 & 8.
OPTION "A" - PARTS THINNER THAN 3"
This option is designed for best portability. Maximum
depth of cut is approximately 1/4" without readjusting the part
height in relation to the rails. Make two "L" shaped wood rails
out of 1-1/2" x 2-1/4" and 3/4" x 3-1/2" material. These "L"
rails will be screwed to the underside of the part to be planed.
The rails must be straight and longer than the part length by at
least 12" (for the 3000 Planing Sled) or 16-20" (for the 3002 &
3004 Planing Sleds). See fig. 9 & 10 (on next page).
The part must have parallel edges. Set the part face down,
shimming if necessary so it won't rock from corner-to-corner
or side-to-side. Place 1" to 1-1/8" thick spacers you provide
between the "L" rails and the flat workbench to insure both rails
are on the same plane. Line up the inside of the rails so they're
in line with the edges of the part and parallel to one another.
Using four to eight angle brackets (CAB015) and 1/2" screws
(STP004), attach the rails to the underside of the part. The
brackets bend to conform to the angle between the part and the
rail so the rails remain flat on the workbench. See fig. 9 & 10
(on next page).

Stops
Position the Sled Brackets so
they are 2" from the ends of
the Ultra Tracks and tighten
the ratchet handles.
Tighten knobs, making sure the spacers
are not touching the track.
Tighten sled brackets after checking that Router
Sled moves freely between rails.
