do you recommend planing varnished wood

I was planning on changing out my cutter blades anyway. Would this damage my
planer if I set the cutting height 1/32 or so to remove a build up of
varnish on some old reclaimed oak 1x4 boards.
tks Dan

That's the reason I originally bought my planner. Got sick of sanding
old paint off some lumber. It worked great, the blades were still
OK. If you don't have a dust collector of some sort, you may want to
consider one now. And watch out for nails! DAMHIKT

Go for it. Keep the blades afterwards and use them for first passes
on recycled timber.

I did exactly this and the planer was fine. Keep the planing light and make
sure you properly dispose of the shavings, as they make the shavings highly
combustible...
