Yep, read it. Except, I consider a planer sled a basic accessory,
and not a clever jig, or contraption.

So how long does it take you to adjust your planer sled for each board?


I have an 8' sled and to adjust it for an 8' board it takes about 2 minutes.
Then it is good to go for how ever many passes it takes. Shorter boards
take proportionally less time. My sled is also good for boards up to about
14". Not many people can afford a jointer to handle boards as wide as their
planer.
While using a jointer may be a little quicker on smaller boards there is a
greater advantage in time on longer and wider boards when using a TS and
Planer.

What method does it use to support the curvature of the board so that you
get flattening?
