Rust free and virtually maintenance free. No clumsy, heavy shims or boards. No chains, cables or cast-iron gears. Slabs can be rolled in either direction and clay can be added or subtracted at any time. The length of the slab is limited only by space and canvas available.
Tapered slabs are quick, easy and precise.
Warping, curling and cracking are drastically reduced. All machines accept press molds and a wide variety of texturing materials such as burlap, plant materials, rope, cork and bark. Slab Roller Tables and More Slab Rollers with two rolls require a work surface or tabletop just below the top of the bottom roll to provide a straight-through path for the clay. All North Star worktables have a tabletop which allows the Slab Roller to drop down in to the correct height thus assuring a completely level path for the clay. This platform can be very informal and general instructions for building one are included with every Slab Roller.
