You bet! 1-1/8" diameter, it takes off about .060" at a time

<paraphrase> Surfaced it three times already, and it's still too shallow!

Yeah, my guess is that it is also called a "planer".

It's the same bit I use to surface the spoils board, I've used it to "plane" lots of wood. I used it to plane the oak slats in the tambour box from about 5/8" to 1/4" and the red cedar ( closet liner ) from 3/8" to 1/4". I really need to be able to resaw and get a real planer.
Dennis and I are going to build a saw to resaw, maybe this summer.

and while the dragon was eating from the dog feeder, it burped, and gave the feeder that scorched look?
 Well done Dave!

Almost ready to go. I took it for a spin around the block today and ran the spindle for the first time. Ran the roadrunner program and almost made some chips but figured I need the stop switches on it before I cut wood. Dave and Scott better put their stickers on their machines because mine will be cutting in a few days.
Dave and Scott have been waiting for me to get mine done before they put their stickers on so we could get consecutive numbers, they better get ready because I am almost done. Gerald/Mike, when you give is our numbers Dave's was done first then Scott's and mine last. If it’s ok we would like consecutive numbers in that order. Thanks. Dennis By the way, those are the stickers laying on the table

Ok, at this point all three machines are cutting and are stickered up. I still have lots to do like getting the 4th axis running and limit switches, but Dave’s, Scott’s and mine should be official enough for #’s. I hope!

All three have a 60" x 120" cutting surface available. All three have 20 awg wire to the motors. Mine has G-540 drive, the other two have G 203v's.
Mine made the first cut on 11/2/2009 Dennis was 3/1/2010 Scott, I'm not sure.

We used 3/8" diameter bolts mostly everywhere except for the rails which are 5/16". Miscellaneous bolt sizes in other places that are not structural.
