Nope. I've got a _real_ 2HP induction motor (12A @ 220) and bed rollers to
ease the job, and I wouldn't ever take the max cut at full width. Maximum
cut depths are for narrower boards.

One time the kid and I got our wires crossed and each took a turn on the
depth adjuster. The lights dimmed, the planer slowed, then sped up as the
lights returned, and 13" of birdseye made it through without a pop. Not an
experience I care to repeat!

Should a planer be able to operate continuously on boards at its capacity
if
the recommended maximum cut is used???
