    Are there any new routers coming out that would be great for slab flattening? Thinking of upgrading and wondering if I should wait for the latest models.

    I dove into flattening this way this spring. My experience, get thee best jig you can. The largest diameter flattening bit will need a router capable of running it so start there.
    The bit I picked really cut well and is holding its edge great. Here’s the pics:
