Have been following this “slab mill” for some time. Most all the components can be bought on Amazon for 1/3, the round router rails flex and the listed size is too small for my slabs I mill myself 32” x 102”, to accommodate that size the price doubles from the base package and he’s always out of them.
For anything up to 24” wide I have helical head planer for that and used a flattening sled to take out the twists. Also have a saw mill 30 minutes away with a Wood-Mizer combo flattening mill and sander who charges me $1 sg ft to flatten and sand the slabs that includes both sides.
