Title	Man operating a planer
Description	Like the milling machine, planers--which had long been employed in metal and woodworking--gradually came to occupy a central place in the stoneworker's tool kit. In this example, a stoneworker draws the machine across the stone by means of a manually operated rotor wheel, creating the smooth, neatly drawn ridges. From this spot in the workflow (the planer), the stone will go to the hand cutter, who will smooth out any rough places. It may go outside. There were machine shops at the mill. Mechanics would have to grease the machines almost every morning. Mechanics had their own union separate from the cutters and others.
