Rockler Rail Coping Jig

For rail and stile doors. Allows you to easily make clean cope cuts without blowouts. Perfect for narrow cross-grain rail cuts.

Simply align material flush with the outside edge of the guide block and lock into place with the post handle hold-down clamp and positionable locking knob. Abrasive strip locks the workpiece in place to avoid shimmy or movement. Run the jig along the fence until you cut into the 1" hardwood guide block, which eliminates tear-out.

Guide block is easily replaceable to accommodate different profiles.
Durable phenolic material base measures 7-7/8" wide x 13-1/2" long.
With ergonomic handle for excellent control and comfortable grip.


Allows you to easily make cuts on the ends of rail doors.

NOTE: When using the Coping Sled for the first time, your bit will be cutting a small rabbet in the phenolic base. This is normal and required to minimize tear-out for all future cuts.

Shipped in pieces the sled went together very easy, and had no problems. I did run through a bunch of end stock learning the proper way to use it. I sure makes it easy. I may remake all of my shop doors.

Worked great once I rebuilt it. As it came to me it was far from being square and had a stripped out screw holding the jig together. Great design but poor quality.

Whenever it came time to cope rails for raised panels and doors I'd begin to sweat and stammer. Seems I could never make a pass across the router bit without a dip or gouge. But no more. The rail coping jig is smooth, sturdy and safe. And no chip out. Beautiful.

The Coping Sled works great, my problem was the screw holes for the handle were off about 1/16" and they were not countersunk deeper enough. I had to drill out the holes and use a countersink. Where was quality control?

I built my own about 20 years ago. Thought it out and engineered it to last. Well, mine wasn't nearly as easy to use or as safe to handle as the Rockler. It's very well constructed and easy to use. This makes the cutting of rails simply routine. Get yourself one!

It is unclear how you would use this bit with a drawer lock bit without cutting the phenolic. I will have to buy an adaptor to use with the miter track.

NOTE: This sled is designed for cutting the ends of rails on stile and rail doors. When using the Coping Sled for the first time, your bit will be cutting a small rabbet in the phenolic base. This is normal and required to minimize tear-out for all future cuts.

The "Rail Coping Jig" works great. With the jig I was able to make "raised panel" doors that were perfect on the very first try.
However, once again, right after I had ordered the jig, it went on sale. Is it me?
