A central part of any millworking business is the planer. The purpose of planer was to create boards that are of an even thickness throughout their length and flat on the upper surface. These machines weigh several tons.Becktoffers had a planer made by the S.A. Woods Machine Company, of Boston Massachusetts. The machine shown to the right was purchased in 1958.
A planer typically consists of three elements: a cutter head which contains the cutting knives; a set of in feed and out feed rollers which draw the board through the machine; and a table which is adjustable relative to the cutter head to control the resultant thickness of the board.
