I used my Drum Sander, I was afraid to run it thru the planer. But now it seems everyone is doing that. I think you will still have to lightly sand it after the planer on the top surface, I used my ROS with the micromesh system and they came out like a mirror, I could see my face in the bare wood. (Scared me )

I agree with Bill @TwoSkies57 If a person uses the planer on endgrain , wrap the whole board with a sacrificial board all ways around to eliminate tearout at the edges,especially the last edge coming off the planer.
