We recently delivered and assembled a new SlambMaster to a local customer in Canungra, just inland from the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia. This machine was 8 metres long and 2.2 metres wide with the capability to surface slabs 7.5 metres (24 feet) long and 1.8 metres (6 feet) wide with 250mm (10") clearance under […]

Harnessing the Power of the SlabMaster. There is no better machine for surfacing timber slabs from rough-cut surfaces down to the finest sanding grits. We have workshops actually surfacing stone! SlabMasters, like all Selective Engineering machines are not just off-the-shelf products. Each machine is custom made to reflect the needs of our customers within the […]

This photo gallery has been taken from the video on our website Home page so you can review the many features of the machine at your own pace.  The Torque Work Centre has been designed to meet the many and varied needs of those who love working with wood and other media.  Strength and durability […]

Overview: Keith Yarker began with the development of the Routermaster in the late 1980’s and went into production in 1989. He noticed people were modifying the Routermaster to machine timber slabs and it wasn’t long before Keith started work on designing a machine specialized for levelling slabs.  In the early 1990’s he produced his first […]

I visited the Fab Slabs workshop a few days ago and they had the sign almost finished that we did on the YAS CNC Router in the last video.

Welcome to another CNC router video. This project tackles a 1.5 metre slab on a 900 mm bed. Actually, it's even smaller than that.

It all started out as a motley piece of red cedar but the slab cleaned up quite nicely even though the borers had been busy some time back in the sap wood. The 55 mm surfacing bit on the Torque Work Centre did most of the surfacing work

For the Fairy Carriage 3D puzzle project we used 6.0 mm MDF. This means that we were able to use a 3.0 mm tooling bit. The big advantage of this is

3D puzzles are popular projects for CNC routing. This short video is designed to open the door just a little on this interesting field of routing.

There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands, of designs out there

Yes, there's another story behind the trophies for the Mudjimba Board Riders.

Max works next-door to the YAS Engineering workshop and asked us to engrave the aluminium insignia for the belt trophies, the Clash of the Groms.

Congratulations to the winners of the surf carnival held at Mudjimba Beach June 7 2014, organised by the Mudjimba Board Riders and Lifeproof group.

I originally started writing this text as a script for the attached video. However, I think the information is more useful in written form. The video concentrates on a simple CNC project in the design software. Hopefully it will inspire you to try out the software and

When we published the video, "YAS CNC Is Coming!" a day or two back, Mark Paneros recognised his YAS CNC router in the pictures and sent us this review about his machine. Thank you Mark

Congratulations to the Alexandra Hills Men's Shed team for a job well done. Under the leadership of their president, Matt Stevenson, the team have been busy for many months bringing the building up to scratch. Leased from

Feedback from the hundreds of RouterMaster owners all over Australia and overseas proves the versatility of this machine in a variety of workshops. The ingenious design
