This service is available to subscribers. The service is performed by one of the planer specialists on the SPIB staff. The service involves coaching and training of mill personnel in the proper operation of their planer machine. This includes alignment of the planer to assure proper feeding and the various adjustments that are essential to proper operation.

When requested, all parts of the planer are evaluated for wear and need of replacement. The proper grinding of sideheads as well as top and bottom cylinder knives are demonstrated and discussed. A classroom presentation (including a slide presentation and study of SPIB Planer Manual) is made when requested.
