Hi, Can someone tell me which tool would be best suited to slice a table top to make the height of the wood that makes the table top thinner (or in half), so you could get two table tops out of it?
So, I would like to know which tool would be best for this?
Thank you.

Moved to discussion…
Not sure there is any easy way to slice it, it it is wider than a bandsaw say, like 30cm…
You can sand or plane it down to make it thinner as long as you are happy to have 1 thinner table leftover and not 2!
@woodtechs may have better advice though!!
Thank you. I thought there could be took out there that I wasn’t aware of that was made for something like this. I didn’t expect it to be an everyday tool. If it’s not an option in the general sense, then I am happy to move on. But if there is an option and it can be done - relatively pain free - then I would like to try it.
Cut it into 10" strips, bandsaw each one in half and then biscuit join back together?
Thank you for your suggestion. However, I am not sure. I was hoping there would be way just to slice it. Although this is one way of doing it, I’m not sure it solves my problem.
Yea I think only a sawmill will have a blade wide enough, it’s not really possible in a regular woodshop as far as I know…
industrial horizontal bandsaw, there must be a furniture shopservice near you somewhere. newr us that would be F&E at the bottom of Croxted road
Thanks. I assume this is not a common piece of equipment.
its huge so only people owning woodlands and proffesionals can justify owning it mostly
Thank you.
And the kerf will be quite big…
