Looks like a neat bit of kit but given how hard it is for bespoke furniture manufacturers to make a steady profit on wide slab work it may be hard to justify the cost. Many of them are handy enough to knock up a router sled for less expense..

Maybe some of the mills specialising in off standard wood might invest in one..

I got a 51''!

 

would you not be better just mill slowly with stelite blades for a good finish?

love to see a pic of that.

 

i meant that they are not readily made these days. i know that there are some old ones around but it's rare to see past a 27" surfacer and most are only 25".

Are you talking length of bed or width of cut because there'll be a fair bit of flex on a cutter block thats 51" long that and 51" wide is an unusual measurement.

Biggest I've seen is 30 inches, built to last but sadly left outdoors during a workshop refit. Was offered to me for 500 quid but I had no means to run it or transport it at the time. Probably been scrapped since.

Largest I've used is 20inches, in a family members workshop.. from the late 40s, twin motor. Beautifully engineered machine.

A 50 inch would need it's own power station to get it rolling!
