I see that the blades aren't too pricey.
Is planing going to be the most sensible approach to the problem?


Is it worth doing though? For that sort of thing I use a gas torch and a

not a good idea unless you have a means of avoiding breathing what
you are burning off.

Power planer might create the least dust.
