  Tip: Get an extra set of canvas at time of purchase, and save on shipping (only $4/set for shipping).  It's great to have one set for red clay and one set for white clay.  Canvas is shown beneath each slab roller.  (Note: Our cart does not do this so automatically; we have to adjust it after we get the order. We usually catch them ourselves, but you can type a note in the comments to make sure.)

Or add a set of slab mats for slabs with smooth texture.  Or try the ClayMat for canvas with a printed grid/dimensions. (Note: These ship from a different location than the slab rollers, so the $4 shipping does not apply.)

North Star Slab Rollers

Not only are you supporting American jobs, North Star has been in business for many years and unlike foreign brands, you always get the best quality and can always get support and spare parts!

All North Star Slab Rollers have two rollers, much like the wringer of an old-fashioned washing machine.  The two rolls turning together pull slabs through easily, and the vertical adjustment of the top roll gives an easy to set and infinitely adjustable thickness from paper thin to over 2 inches.  
Standard rollers
2 1/2" diameter rollers
Direct Drive between handle and rollers
48" TABLE
Lifetime warranty for non-commercial uses 
Super rollers
4" diameter rollers
4.33 : 1 gear reduced drive between handle and rollers
72" TABLE which could be put together as a 48" table if desired
Lifetime warranty for all uses (commercial, residential, schools)

Northstar Standard Slab Rollers come with a life time warranty for home use, and 2 years for commercial and educational settings.  Super Models come with a life time warranty for all use including commercial and educational.   If you are purchasing a slab roller for these applications, we recommend upgrading to the Super Slab Roller models.     

Tips on choosing a slab roller;  We love the NorthStar slab rollers because there are no shims, and you can adjust slab thicknesses anywhere from 0" to over 2" thick (2.75" for standard and 2.25" for super machines.)  There are no chains or cables, or clumsy shims.  They are extremely durable.  They make a great, sturdy, work table.  And the clay is evenly compressed on both sides, so slabs warp less.  Drive train gears are made of nylon because it is impervious to clay dust, does not require lubrication and will "give" just enough to allow rolls to run out of parallel when needed.  Super series machines use steel reduction gears at the handle (these are never required to run out of true so nylon is not needed.) 

For occasional use the Standard Slab Roller is perfect.  However, if you plan to do a lot of slabbing, such as making large sculptures and architectural pieces or production work, or if you just like to make your life easier, then the Super models are well worth the extra money.  They are geared so they can really reduce the clay in one pass, rather than taking several passes.  If you used a slab roller in college or at a large studio, the Super models would probably be more like what you are used to.   

STANDARD - Good for home and occasional use.  Package includes 48" Table.
SUPER - Best for high use.  Gear reduced: get more clay through in 1 pass.  Commercial/school settings must get Super to get lifetime warranty.  Package includes 72" Table

Bailey Slab Rollers

22miniMightIITableTop.jpg (11421 bytes)

New Mini-22 utilizes the same dependable "dual roller drive" process as other Bailey models. Both rollers are made of solid steel and coated with a permanent abrasive epoxy finish.  Each roller is driven by 3/4 inch wide steel gears.  

22minimitelegs.jpg (17538 bytes)
Shown with legs

A sturdy hand crank delivers ample leverage to roll slabs through the machine.  Roller delivers perfectly even slabs every time.  Clay is compressed in one pass through the rollers.  The roller position is fixed, so the slab thickness is varied by adding or removing masonite shims.  When feeding bulk clay through the machine, the clay can be piled approximately 5/8" plus the thickness of the slab intended.  Includes shims and a slab sheet.

DRDII with table and optional round handle upgrade. Available in 24" and 30" widths.   5 year warranty.  30" model has gear reduction, with all steel gears.  24" comes in standard and gear reduction models.  Gear reduction means you turn the wheel more times but each turn is easier to make.  Therefore you can put more clay through at a time.  The "feed" side of the table is shorter and lower lower.  Slabrollers with gear reduction should only be rolled in one direction.
