  I Have  huge cabinet shop nearby & they have a  massive panel sander. Also 
With the panel joining set up I have they come out  quite flat.
    Final thickness is another matter. I  have thinned the panels on the top 
side with a 3 horse Freud plunge  router.  The router has a huge 2 inch bit 
that quickly  takes  off the unwanted thickness.  The router is fastened to a 
large flat  piece of Plexiglas. I start at one end & just run it back and forth  
till I get to the other end. I intentionally leave slight ridges  untouched 
by the pit & the Plexiglas utilizes them to finding a platform to  ride on.  
Make sense ...or no? At that point it looks rather  frightening...Yikes! however 
an hour with the sander & it's looking quite  respectable.

Jude,  Dale,
How are you guys final thicknessing your panels after glue up?
