A belt sander will do this job just as well and is much more widely useful
than a power plane.
In either case, finish the scarph surfaces with a sharp handplane. Check
with a straightedge.

OK, I went out and bought a power plane. It is WAAAAAAAY easier with

Now I am getting moody. I looked round town at the last mention of a
power planer - and drew a blank (population 20,000)

There is not meant to be any power tool that I don't own.
That's what my wife says, at least

Brian Whatcott Altus OK
