Planing is completed at our Spencerville workshop by our Wood-Mizer four-sided planer/molder, the MP360. It has one of the highest ratings worldwide for planing services. See the details on the MP360 on our equipment page.

We are happy to mill;

  • pieces that you’ve brought in on your own, –
  • pre-cut wood available in our warehouse, or
  • wood we’ve cut into planks and dried for you.

The MP360 mill can do many PROFILE finishes such as:

The four-sided planer requires wood to be dried first. One edge of the dried wood must be level/flat/true. Boards not meeting the necessary standard will be put through our Grizzly 12” x 84” jointer/planer first, which is equipped with spiral cutter heads, before moving on to the final planing stage.
