OT: Any woodworkers here?
Ground_Loop:
Or, apart from all the nuclear powered industrial options mentioned, you could just take a bit of time and use a cabinet scraper. I promise it will work just fine.

I don't know what types of hand planers you can get at your local home improvement store and which quality they are, but a cutting edge becomes dull for a hand planer as well for a big heavy professional planing machine with 3-phase motor. Some wood types can be quite demanding. Either you apply some elbow grease or pay someone else for doing that. ;)
Refrigerator:
Planing isn't hard, just that there's a high risk of tearout when cutting endgrain.
coppercone2:
the factory does so much it does not care about 1 extra and they have all the tooling in place to keep their production running quickly
but again, I would just sand it. Its worth doing something because they are alot of work to make.
CatalinaWOW:
Planing will work, but the end grain work requires a good plane iron, extremely sharp and perfectly adjusted in the plane to make it anything other than a wretched chore. If you aren't experienced it may not be a good route to take.
Since this task requires a multi-hobby/interest approach you might check if you or a friend has a mill. Something that goes through aluminum/steel laughs at end grain. You could have a surface ready for finish sanding in an hour or less including setup. If you go out to a shop to do this your biggest issue will be being sure they don't contaminate your block with coolant, machine oil and other nasties.
