We now offer the Slab Flattening Mill in 3 sizes to accommodate the needs of every slab woodworker. If you're tight on shop space and are planning to do end-grain cutting boards and end-table-sized slabs, our smallest Slab Flattening Mill will handle work up to 24" x 48". The Basic Slab Flattening Mill accommodates slabs up to 38" x 57". The Extended Slab Flattening Mill adds an additional pair of 72" rails that can either replace the cross rails to increase width, or connect with the base rails to extend length. The capacity grows to either 62" x 105" or 38" x 129". These huge capacities are great"¦when you need them. Remember, though, you can always mount the rails closer together when it suits your project. See the chart in the photos for a guide to all the maximum size configurations. All sizes of the Slab Flattening Mill can accommodate stock up to 3-7/16" in thickness. If your stock is thicker than that, you can use shop-made spacers to raise the Slab Flattening Mill. Conversely, if you are dealing with thin stock, you can use the same approach on the underside of your thin stock. Since all routers vary in height capacity and router bits vary in overall length, you may need to elevate your stock or elevate the mill in order to achieve the desired results of the Slab Flattening Mill.
