Our ball screw system allows for precise, incremental advancement of the router gantry by a fixed, smooth operating crank handle.
By locking the axis in one direction, this system ensures a straight path along the length of the slab grain, in the conventional left to right operation of the router.
By securing the axis, it eliminates any router path deviation, and ensures a consistent step over rate. We recommend a stepover distance of 1/2 of the width of your flattening bit.
This system creates accuracy, reliability, and consistency during the flattening process.
