With the switch, it gets much more difficult. And also with most other home routers the procedure works! Since only one standard feature is used on the Fritzbox itself, the model is irrelevant. To Fritz box: A Fritzbox 6660 Cable is used here. Of course, it would be nice to design everything from scratch, but this is about them normal initial situation: A Fritzbox is already running, now the network is to be expanded without having to adapt the existing network and its devices. But the operating system is more important: Ubuntu. One more is missing Device: Here it should be a Raspberry Pi, which is about WLAN in the standard network (as 192.168.178.100) hangs and over LAN in the VLAN (as 10.0.0.100). Different VLANs can be assigned to the individual ports of the switch, as can the standard network of the Fritzbox. So a switch with routing functions is needed, which is attached to the Fritzbox and itself spans the VLANs. Even the normal 10-euro switches cannot do this, since they are nothing more than distribution sockets.

Professional or just very good (combi) routers can set up something like this directly, but the Fritzbox, as a rather limited private user device, cannot.

If you want to know any materials, tools, or have any general questions answered, you can check out the second step or contact me via my website, and I would be happy to do answer them.Īs always, thank you for reading! I would be so grateful if you could please subscribe to my Youtube Channel for future projects.This second network is called VLAN set up, i.e. The best part is, between the tools you need for the sled, and the materials, it will still be about half (or less) the price of a standard thickness planer, which many people can't afford and will be limited by anyways. I am so thrilled with how well it works, and it will work for ANY type of wood material you put underneath, all you need to do is make sure the piece is secured and shimmed properly so that you begin with as flat and stable of a surface as you can (I held it with weights, but you can look into your own solutions that work for you!).

Cheers!īelow is the full video of me using it for the first time on a set of Walnut Butcher Block Bedside Tables I was making.

I recommend taking it from the same sled base piece that you've already cut the base and 2' guide pieces from (you should have plenty of extra to do this - and then just screw them in or use brad nails).

UPDATE - A lovely user pointed out (what I should have much earlier!) that adding a simple 1/2' piece to each side of the sled would be a good idea to prevent it from moving too far over on either side and hitting the edge.

Also, because your router will have a bit of wiggle room, you'll want to make passes with your router base plate up against both walls so the hole is clean, consistent, and slightly larger than your actual dado bit width. NOTE - You have the freedom to route this hole as wide as you'd like, but be careful not to do it too wide as you'll hit your sled base walls. Once you have made multiple passes and cut all of the way through, you should end up with a groove ( Pic 3) that you can now pass your dado bit through and surface any piece of wood, etc. Using your Plunge Router and a Dado Bit ( Pic 1), plunge your router into your sled to begin routing a groove ( Pic 2). If you have larger or more specific needs, you can take this general approach and adapt your dimensions to fit your needs

NOTE - I wanted to build a sled that could plane up to 24' wide.

2 x 2' x 4' Pieces of MDF Wood (1/2' thick).

I chose to use MDF wood knowing that it was already very smooth, very easy to cut and rip into the right dimensions, and is quite cheap.Īlso, I stand by this design - it worked incredibly well for me on my first go around and I cannot wait to use it again. However, I can only plane up to that width, and it is unsafe to do anything end grain (in my personal opinion), so I have, for a long time, wanted to build my own jig. I have a 13' Ridgid thickness planer that is a tank.
