Some brands of planers can be converted to use as a gang saw, like

A bit pricey but nice! Never found a price on just the blades though.

There are also plans out there for making your own drum sander. I bet
you could redesign the drum on some of those to get closer to what you
want...


Or buy used. Found a 37" industrial sander on Craig's list last night for about
what those planers run.
