A no 7 isn't ideal for stock removal. The weight of them combined with the friction on a sole that long (even a one that is well waxed or oiled) makes it incredibly tiring to use them for more than a couple of passes. If you want to remove that much material then a scrub plane or a router sled are much better options.
