Built for Your Mill. Tailored for Your Team.

Whether you're onboarding new operators or fine-tuning the skills of seasoned technicians, Rafter’s in-plant training programs are designed to deliver lasting results. We focus on the real-world knowledge your team needs to run, maintain, and troubleshoot tube and pipe mill equipment—so productivity stays high, and downtime stays low. Training is conducted on your own equipment, in your own facility, with guidance customized to your line setup and production challenges.

Our training covers everything from mill setup and alignment to bearing preload, lubrication techniques, weld mechanicals, and pass line adjustments. We train your team not just to follow steps—but to understand how and why the system works. Whether you run Rafter mills or equipment from another manufacturer, we’ll meet your team where they are and leave them better equipped to perform with confidence.
