There is about half an inch to take off most of the top. It's only softwood so the No.7, properly sharpened shouldn't take too long. I reckon I took nearly as much off with a No.4 when totally ruining it, so shouldn't be too bad. Just annoyed that I have to at all. Might mean it screws up the vice placement, which may require starting from scratch anyway. But it's a lot of timber to scrap if so.
