North Star PortaRoller 18" Table-Top Slab Roller

This portable slab roller delivers professional slab rolling performance in a compact, lightweight design ideal for home studios, classrooms, workshops, and mobile artists. Built with the same precision engineering found in larger Northstar slab rollers, the PortaRoller offers smooth operation, precise thickness control, and excellent clay compression without the footprint of a full floor-standing machine.

Its dual machined aluminum rollers feature integrated diamond-pattern knurling that grips the canvas and smoothly pulls clay through the machine. The adjustable upper roller provides infinitely variable slab thickness settings from paper-thin sheets to slabs over 2" thick, while the built-in reference scale allows repeatable precision adjustments.

Unlike systems that rely on shims, boards, chains, or cables, the PortaRoller’s dual-roller design allows clay to be rolled in either direction with complete compression in a single pass, helping reduce warping, curling, and cracking. The machine also accommodates press molds and a wide variety of texturing materials including burlap, rope, bark, cork, leaves, and other found objects.

Constructed from high-strength alloy aluminum with durable powder-coated and zinc-plated components, moisture-resistant Medex tabletops, and nylon or steel gearing, the PortaRoller is designed for long-term reliability with virtually no maintenance required. Both the roller and table sections weigh under 25 lbs. each for easy setup, transport, and storage.
