The RGS Motorized Retrofit Kit enhances slab flattening with reliable, efficient, and easy-to-use motion control. Unlike traditional CNC woodworking machines that require advanced programming or complex setups, this kit provides a straightforward solution tailored specifically for slab flattening.
Why Choose our RGS Motorized Retrofit Kit Over a CNC Machine for Slab Flattening?
A full-scale CNC router is overkill for most slab work. They’re expensive, bulky, and require software knowledge you may never use. The RGS Motorized Retrofit Kit focuses on one thing. Making slab flattening faster, easier, and more accurate.
By upgrading your current TrueTrac Router Gantry System, you skip the cost and learning curve of CNC machines while still getting computer-controlled precision. This means more output, less downtime, and a shorter path from raw slab to finished surface.
Available Sizes for Every Slab Flattening Setup
We offer three standard configurations to fit the most common workshop layouts:
- 4ft x 8ft or Smaller – For compact setups; if smaller, note your size at checkout.
- 4ft x 12ft – Fits units with three 55-inch rails on the long axis.
- 4ft x 17ft – Fits units with four 55-inch rails on the long axis.
Need something longer? No problem. Our kits let you expand beyond 17ft, and if you have a 6ft (72-inch) capacity bridge, you can add the 72 Inch Bridge Extension Kit for extra reach.
Key Benefits of the RGS Motorized CNC Wood Router Upgrade
Traditional CNC wood routers try to do it all, often at the expense of simplicity and cost. The RGS kit stands out by focusing on what matters: slab flattening. Available in customizable sizes (standard or extended with optional kits), it adapts to your needs, delivering precision and control without the clutter of full-scale CNC setups.
Semi-automatic motion control. Forget programming hassles. The motor-driven rack gear system offers precise, smooth motion without requiring advanced CNC skills.
Seamless integration. Designed to upgrade your existing router gantry system, this kit eliminates the need for a costly full-scale CNC machine.
Focused on slab flattening. General-purpose CNC machines try to do it all. The RGS kit is purpose-built for slab flattening, offering consistent results for tabletops, large slabs, and other woodworking projects.
Customizable sizes. Available in multiple configurations, it fits both standard and extended setups with extension kits for added flexibility.
Effortless operation. Intuitive controls mean you’re flattening slabs in minutes, not hours.
Cost-effective upgrade. Add automation to your current setup for a fraction of a CNC machine’s price.
Consistent precision. Motorized motion ensures even, professional-grade finishes every time.
Made in the USA. Backed by TrueTrac’s reputation for quality and durability.
FAQs About CNC Wood Router Machines
Can I retrofit automation to my current TrueTrac Router Gantry System?
Yes. If you already own a TrueTrac Router Gantry System, you can add the RGS Motorized Semi-Auto Motion Retrofit Kit at any time. This bolt-on upgrade uses a computer-controlled, motor-driven rack gear mechanism to deliver CNC-like motion control without programming. You get smoother passes, more consistent results, and faster slab flattening without replacing your existing system.
What makes the RGS Motorized Retrofit Kit different from other router sleds or generic CNC kits?
The RGS Motorized Retrofit Kit is purpose-built for slab flattening. Generic CNC kits attempt to handle engraving, shape cutting, and 3D carving, which adds cost, complexity, and setup time. The RGS kit focuses on one task only, flattening slabs, which makes it simpler to use, faster to set up, and more cost effective for large flat surfaces.
What’s the easiest way to automate slab flattening?
A purpose-built system like the RGS Motorized Retrofit Kit is the simplest option. It provides controlled, motor-driven motion similar to a CNC machine, but without coding, CAM software, or complicated configuration. Mount the kit, power it on, and begin flattening slabs with consistent, professional-grade results.
How is the RGS Motorized Retrofit Kit different from generic CNC router kits?
Generic CNC router kits are designed to perform many tasks, including engraving, cutting shapes, and complex tool paths. That flexibility increases cost and learning time. The RGS kit is designed specifically for slab flattening, which keeps the system simpler, more affordable, and faster to deploy while still delivering precise, controlled motion.
Does the RGS Motorized Retrofit Kit require any CNC software or programming?
No. The system does not use CAD, CAM, or G-code. Motion is controlled through a motor-driven rack gear system designed specifically for slab flattening, so no programming is required.
