Rexon planer/thicknesser

Having just read the replies to my original question quickly followed by the messages in "New topics wanted" I wondered -- would the Rexon, when I finally manage to free it from the box, be a suitable piece of equipment with which to perform a circumcision or should I stick with the chop saw? What prompted this idea is one of Norm's frequent sayings which goes something like " the cut is fine direct from the saw but I always give the piece a pass under the planer blades to take away any ragged edges that may be left and spoil the final finish.

Just a thought.
