Do NOT try that, yup I got terminally stupid with a #4. It seemed liek
it was working REALLY well for almost a moment, then I had the most
impressive catch I've ever enjoyed. %-) Luckliy it was a crappy #4,
but it totaled my toolrest. Planes aren't built for 1000rpm work. YMMV
but prolly not.

Those of us who have used planes for smoothing columns on a lathe had better
sense than to run so fast. No so much for the mechanics of it, but because
the blade wasn't made for the heat.
