hHnk - I have a northstar heavy duty 36 inch slab roller with two large rollers (top and bottom) and a LARGE table. I bought this one due to the advertisement and research that clay compressed on both sides (which this set up does) virtually eliminates warping. Works for me. Also I added some roller wheels so I could move it around. table is about 40" by 6 Ft and well constructed. It has many uses when not slab rolling. P.S. thickness is very easy to set up.

Dear William;
Does your slab roller have only a top roller, or does it have two
rollers (upper & lower)?
Cheers, Hank
