    A slab roller, (a good one) has two rollers; one on top of the clay, the
    other below. The rollers can be adjusted to thinly squeeze the clay or to
    make thick(er) sheets of clay. The rollers move the clay THROUGH the
    rollers. A print press moves the BED through the rollers. If I remember
    this right. I think they could be adapted. You might lose some of the
    qualities of a slab roller but I'd definitely try it before I got rid of it.
    One problem is that you might have to pre-roll the clay down to an even size
    to fit it through the bed.
