I believe the replaceable cutters are usually made of a harder carbide as they don't need to be brazed onto the router bit.

Though the shank size is similar to the previous W05002 router bit, its cutting diameter is larger than that. You would also need to make sure that the work piece and its "rails" are fully supported by the router table for the entire size of the piece. Finally, to fully flatten the piece all the way around, you'd need to route into the "rails" as well.

This would put a fairly small limit to your work piece, being about a quarter in area than your router table size (or at most half if you rotate the work piece around). There are some great choices for sleds out there these days, I tend toward the homemade side simply because I have run into slabs of all different shapes and sizes and don't personally work with slabs regularly, maybe once every year or two. Where are your hands intended to go and is one potentially in the path the router is trying to take it if this happens?
