TIMBER PRODUCTS Planer Operations Course

TPTS will be hosting a 3 day Planer Operators Course September, 10-12 of 2024. 
 

From our own Tad Cleve of Timber Products Technical Services – “Planer setup has become increasingly more important with the advent of grade optimization.  What used to be unidentifiable to the human eye is now   being subjected to a higher level of scrutiny through precise geometric analysis. This requires a higher level of understanding and overall control, than previously required”   

Our Planer Operations Course is designed for all employees who play a role in managing dressed product quality as well as those who are responsible for controlling and monitoring machine setup. 

 

Dates:                           September 10-12, 2024
