I've been wanting to make another planer sled, this one about 3' or
maybe a bit longer. But been inlved in other things,son haven't eben
gotten started on the new one yet.
So, I've been thinking of something new. As soon as I get a chunk
of 2X12 from my older son that's about the right length, I'll just
fasten down my present planer sled to the middle of it, then run that
thru the planer. I've been thinking about this, and don't see any
reason it won't work. For just-in-case I'll put a small piece of wood
at each end to support the being planed pieces so they won't tip up
going thru the planer.
Anyone else tried anything like this?

Why would you wish fasten your present sled to a 2X12??
I would just cut a 3+' piece of 1/2"ply and use that as a sled for
planeing the thinner stock.

Because my planer sled is made to plane pieces on edge? And I
want to plane the edges of some pieces about 40" long?
