Man is a mental midget!!!

I don't know what a chainsaw would do with a nail, but I know you DO NOT want to be in front of the input side of a power planer if there is a nail in the wood!

It will dull the chain , but the chain will cut through it. Now one of those big power hydraulic saw, would never know the nail was there.

But a power planner, always look at board first.
