Wood Slab Leveling Jig, Extended Capacity, USA Made

Woodpeckers, a brand established in 1988, has always focused on woodworking tools. Starting with just a few routers, the company has grown into a full-fledged manufacturer of router lifts, router fences, measuring & layout tools, and many useful clamping accessories. Woodpeckers takes pride in the fact that their tools are truly made in the U.S.A., as they handle the entire process in-house, including machining, engraving, assembly, and packing.

The hottest trend in interior design these days is live edge slabs, as their natural curves and unique grain patterns offer an organic, eye-catching appeal. However, these slabs present some challenges in the workshop, as their overall width and weird grain changes make the use of a jointer and thickness planer impractical, if not impossible.

Introducing the Woodpeckers Slab Flattening Mill, a solution that can accurately flatten live-edge slabs and other oversized stock faster and easier than ever before. This mill guides your router over the slab in a controlled plane, minimizing tear-out, so the surface will only need light sanding afterwards.

The Slab Flattening Mill is available in three sizes to accommodate the needs of every slab woodworker. The smallest model can handle work up to 24" x 48", the Basic model up to 38" x 57", and the Extended model offers capacities of either 62" x 105" or 38" x 129". All sizes can accommodate stock up to 3-7/16" in thickness, and the modular design allows for easy extension of the rails.

Using the Slab Flattening Mill is a straightforward process - simply slide your router across the slab and back, moving over a little less than the width of your cutter, and repeat until the job is done. It works best with a variable speed router of 2 horsepower or more, and Woodpeckers offers suggested router bits to optimize the process.

To help manage the shavings, an optional dust collection port is available, which bolts to the carriage and rides alongside the shavings' exit point. It works with both shop vacuums and larger dust collectors, and the brush surrounding the pick-up area ensures effective dust collection on smooth or uneven slab surfaces.

Like all Woodpeckers products, the Slab Flattening Mill is proudly machined and carefully inspected at the company's facility in Strongsville, OH. With its innovative design and versatile capabilities, the Slab Flattening Mill is an essential tool for any woodworker working with live-edge slabs or other oversized stock.
