It's a PITA to set up, so I recommend you fall back immediately to hot
gluing wedges to level rather than relying on their design. Flat piece of
stair tread stock. Use wedges, winding sticks and hot glue.
Or all the way back to the scrub and Jack.

I built that sled and while it is a bit troublesome to set up initially for
each board I would not think that setting it up is any more trouble than hot
gluing wedges under the board. On average I probably spent 4 or 5 minutes
max to set all the wedges. This was on boards 8-9' long and 8-13" wide.
