We use Oliver Straitoplaner technology to remove unevenness and inconsistency from boards and producing material that is of uniform thickness, free from dirt and ready for production. Our planer can surface boards to a minimum thickness of 1/2" with a maximum width of 36".
Benefits of ordering lumber surfaced from TBM:
- Oliver Straitoplaner's flexible spring-loaded feeders minimize splits; bottom head acts like a face joiner while both sides are surfaced in one pass.
- Reduces warp and wind on moderately warped or twisted boards.
- Color and grain patterns more easily spotted.
- Reduces sawdust and shop costs associated with waste removal.
- Simplifies planning schedule; surfaced lumber arrives ready for production.
- TBM surfacing costs are pennies on the dollar saving you time and labor.
- Combined with straightline ripping, TBM can produce moulder-ready blanks.
