John Grossbohlin sent me the photo at left, which shows the kind of planer my post the other day described. The vertical shaft has a disc with cutters attached that rotate in the same plane as the surface of the lumber while the boards pass underneath. Interestingly, Craftsman Tools (Sears) used to sell a "safety planer" which mounted in a drill press and worked (though not well) on the same principle.
