That would be right. Drill presses use a morse taper to hold the chuck in. Vibration can cause these to stop gripping and they drop out. Imagine what a mess that can do.

For about $75 you can get a really decent hand plane that with an hour of attention will give you outstanding finish and won't try to take your hand off.

No one mentioned that just one bounce of the material would ruin it. I think I will use a power planer.

Jerry,
I bought one years ago for guitar building...Used it once and found it to be difficult to work
with and potentially dangerous. Not really a "safety planer". If you're determined to have one
I could probably unearth mine. Likely still in the box!

I hope this was meant to be funny!

Would seem to be a less than a safe tool but with a 0.005" max cut depth and platen to control hold-down it's the operator who will use it for what it is intended to do.

I wonder if this is worth the money. It's certainly less expensive that a regular planer. A while back, I made a similar one out of wood. It accepts a piece of sandpaper.
This is on sale, reduced from $71 to $61. There are three cutting blades attached to that plate. For half the price, I wouldn't hesitate. Stew-Mac tends to be pricey.

I have one someplace it was my Dads over 50 yrs old? looks identical non razor cutters will chatter cutting against the grain.
I would think this would be more up your ally battery power.

I own one of these and for small jobs they produce excellent results.

I have not found these to be dangerous. However, that assumes the operator doesn't do something overly stupid.
