Replacing the bricks

Can small dumbbells be use on the slid in place of the bricks and how much wright do you need. I have some 1LB 2Lb and 5LB dumbbells they are more compact than the bricks

There’s nothing magic about bricks, they’re just a universally available ‘sort-of’ standard ‘heavy thing’. With two bricks and the router, my sled totals about 26 pounds. I’ve seen pictures of folks using all sorts of things in place of bricks.

Just arrange whatever you use to concentrate the weight on the lower half of the sled and out of the way of the z-axis setup.

That’s not my sled, I spotted it looking through this link of images from the forum. An interesting way to look through the forum.
