The following items make the 22-inch x 96-inch Manual Feed Slab Mill:
- Two (2) 27-1/2 inch length RGS guide rails
- Four (4) 55 inch length RGS guide rails
- Four (4) 6-inch length self-aligning dovetail connectors, with set screws installed
- Eight (8) Bearing End Caps, installed on rails with 10-24 Type F Machine Screws
- Two (2) Short Linear Slides (Short Runners) with bubble levels installed
- Two (2) Long Linear Slides (Long Runners)
- Two (2) Drop Downs
- One (1) Router Base Plate, pre-drilled for listed routers (see compatibility below)
- Fourteen (14) 10-24 threaded, 1/4 inch diameter, 1/4 inch length Shoulder Bolts
- Six (6) 8-32 x 1/2 L flat head Phillips drive machine screws

If the Threaded Cross Feed version is selected, one of the 27-1/2 inch extrusions above will have the 27-1/2 inch Threaded Rod Kit installed. Additionally, two (2) knurled brass thumb screws will be included with the standard hardware packet as well as one (1) hand crank to attach to the threaded rod.
The Threaded Cross Feed units can be moved manually without the rod or hand crank by simply removing the two thumb screws and moving the Router Base Assembly by hand.
My most recent project included 3ea. 10 quarter 10' x 17" black walnut slabs. We chose the TrueTrac system because my jointer and planer couldn't handle the length and width of the boards. The slab mill was an excellent alternative. The mill along with the Milwaukee 5625-20 did a great job. Once we got everything shimmed properly the mill and router did and excellent job. The Amana RC-2263 router bit performed flawlessly.
I like it but don't like the fact that the router sled does not fasten to the rail
