Can I use the sled on thick slabs or timber?

🔍 Absolutely! The Cratos S01001 router sled is designed to handle slabs with a **maximum cutting height of 6 inches**, making it perfect for flattening thick timber or other heavy-duty materials:contentReference[oaicite:26]{index=26}:contentReference[oaicite:27]{index=27}. That covers most live-edge slabs or rounds people work with. If you have something even thicker, you could potentially shim up the rails, but 6\" is a lot. The key is that the router bit needs to reach the surface – with the sled’s height range of 1.5\" to 6\", you’re covered. So whether it’s a massive cookie slab or a thick stump slice, as long as it’s under about six inches tall, you can flatten it with the sled. For anything thinner (normal boards, etc.), you would use the lower preset positions to keep the router close to the work.
