America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.
Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

It will probably eat you blades, unless they are carbide.
Try hand planing to see how tough it is on tool blades.
Use a router with a carbide bit. Clamp it between two pieces of wood to give support for the router base, and reduce it that way.
