   The person on the front line of using the G-Tek equipment is Jeff Hampton, production manager at the Cape Girardeau, Mo., facility of Botkin Lumber. Jeff explained the G-Tek strategy in designing the side-head planer. "They put the blades on a little bit of an angle," he said, "which is very helpful."
   
   Jeff also likes the fail-safe feature built into the G-Tek side-head planer. Adjusting the speed requires an Allen wrench. Since the machine speed cannot be changed without that extra effort, operators are less likely to accelerate or slow down without careful consideration. A steady feed and production speed are "better than herky-jerky movement" in terms of both productivity and safety, said Jeff.
   
   Albert and Jeff emphasized how helpful G-Tek was in making changes to the outfeed of the side-head planers.

   "They modified the outfeed" to speed it up, said Jeff. To do so, G-Tek "put lugs up closer. Instead of 60 inches apart, they made them 40 inches," said Jeff.
   
   Besides the excellent performance it gives, the G-Tek side-head planer shares other important characteristics with all the G-Tek machines that Botkin Lumber purchased, said Jeff. "It's very heavy-duty equipment," he explained.

   Jeff has been working in the forest products industry for 17 years. He knows the importance of using quality equipment in order to keep downtime and maintenance costs low.
