Sanding the milling marks off the faces of some boards reminded me of a planing machine I saw many years ago at a WW show. It looked a lot like a portable power planer and sat directly on the floor. It had one stationary planing blade and it quickly power fed the stock (sort of shooting it) under the blade, shaving off an impressive, full lenght/width shaving. It left an excellent surface. The demonstrator was shaving a long 4x4 post of some exotic looking purple/pink wood that was pretty impressive as well. Anyone know what the machine was called and is it available anywhere? SL
