The idea behind the Rail Guide Coping Sled Pro is simple; hold your rails firmly at a 90 degree angle to your router table fence so you can feed your stock through the cutter for the cleanest, squarest cuts possible.

Also included is an abrasive strip that is adhered to the adjustable fence. The abrasive strip keeps your stock from sliding or wandering during the coping process. That, along with the heavy duty hold down toggle keeps your stock firmly in place.
