Default Using router as a planer

I am 71 years old and have never used a router, but I just finished setting up my new router and router table. I am about to make my first kitchen cabinets. My question is, can I use the router to plane the inch and a half face frame material after I have ripped it on the table saw? Thanks, Don Stefanson

Hi young Don, (I'm 74)! Check this link to an old thread of mine, I'm sure it will answer your question. Don't hesitate to ask if you require more specific details.
