Interesting for sure, but would require a very cautious approach to do under power.
I have a circa 1890 to 1910 or so 9 ft Cincinnati planner which is waiting on me to get her back up & running. I plan to mount a tool post grinder so I can resurface lathe beds & the tables off knee mills.
It's my understanding the first surface grinders were modified planners.
