I was going to mention that. But the planer method makes changing blades cheap and easy. And if you get a nick the blade still works as you move it over. You can take a wire wheel to the surface beforehand but no guarantees.
Great idea. However, as a frequent user of an expensive 15" long Makita planer I can tell you that you don't want to be in front of the planer looking at what's being cut. I've had one explode and I was glad I was above and behind with both hands on the grips.
