The main difference between planing and flattening is that a planer will not take out the bow or warp - just surface the material. That's why we choose to use our industrial full size routers to get a true flat slab/panel. It takes a bit more time - but you end up with a much flatter surface!
We can flatten live edge slabs, solid wood panels, and even Epoxy!
Drop it off at our store and have one of our team members flatten it for you! Typical turn around time is 1 week!
This material is a game-changer in the world laser engraving! The quality of the plywood is exceptional, with a perfectly smooth, perfectly flat surface (no surprise here) that makes it a joy to work with. The finish feels a little plastic, but I understand it’s an acrylic coating over the maple fibre, which I love. Even laser-fog burn marks wipe off with a damp cloth — no masking needed. The maple grain is pronounced and it cuts cleanly and sands beautifully. 100% will purchase again.
These work well with my Festool 125 RO in the fine mode as they leave no sanding marks compared to non festool discs.
Very satisfied....the oak grain was beautiful...milling was A1 and glued together with no problems....will buy from here again
