What’s the difference between the SpeTool Cratos PRO sled and the Xpert sled?

🔍 The **Cratos S01001 PRO** and the **Xpert S03001** are both slab flattening sleds but have a few key differences:\n- The Xpert is a higher-end model with **continuous height adjustment** (via a crank or knob) rather than fixed presets. This means you can micro-adjust bit depth on the fly, whereas the Pro has fixed intervals:contentReference[oaicite:36]{index=36}.\n- The Xpert sled also is designed to be **expandable** – SpeTool offers extension rails and even a manual drive system for it, so you can flatten larger areas or add features like dust collection more seamlessly. The Pro is a set size (about 4ft by 4ft coverage) while the Xpert can be extended beyond that with add-ons:contentReference[oaicite:37]{index=37}:contentReference[oaicite:38]{index=38}.\n- The Xpert includes an integrated dust-collection port on its carriage (and you can attach a shroud), making it more dust-friendly out of the box. With the Pro, dust collection is an optional accessory (the S01002 shroud).\n- Price-wise, the Xpert is more of an investment (it’s a beefier, more industrial solution), whereas the Pro is more affordable and aimed at hobbyists and small shop owners.\nIn summary, if you need maximum flexibility, scalability, and convenience, the Xpert is the choice. If you want a simpler, cost-effective slab flattening solution, the Cratos PRO does the job with a slightly more manual setup.
