A hand plane skewed at an angle to the surface would also work but for end grain, you've gotta have it sharpened and tuned perfect for the best results. You can use a rounded iron/blade for roughing out the top initially. You'll save yourself a lot of work if the glue up is a flat as possible.
Other than the noise a hand held plane could be used to square wood. It just depends on the skill of the operator. Like it takes a lot of practice to square wood with a hand plane likewise the motorized plane would take as much or more to get the feel of holding it right. NoThankyou and gmercer_48083. Reply Like.
What you want to do is turn that knob so the front plate and base of the planer are even. Use a straight edge. At that point, the planer will not cut since the blades are flush with the base. Now, look at the knob. It should be marked in 64ths of an inch. One rotation is typically four 64ths or 1/16 inch.

I prefer the hand plane because it’s quiet, slower, more controllable and feels awesome with a nicely sharpened blade.
Flattening slabs and boards with a power planer sled! So many threads and videos on using a router to flatten slabs that are too large for a thickness planer. This is a different approach using a power planer. It will reduced the number of passes by 3 to 4 times since the planer has about a 3" wide cutter. It's a rather complicated sled to make ...

A planer aka, thickness planer makes a board a uniform thickness along it's length. You still need a flat surface on the bottom to start with from the jointer IF it's not flat already. Jointing and gluing boards with good results is a simple woodworking project, BUT you must start with straight and square edges or the glue bond will not be ...
Craftsman power hand planer. My first post here. I was given a Craftsman Model # 315.17321 electric hand planer. It needed new blades and belt. I spent $ 50.00 and the blades and belt, only to discover I also need a "blade adjustment plate", which did not come with the planer. Sears Parts Direct states they are obsolete and no longer available.
For such a large table, this is actually pretty thin. A 2 1/4" thick top would be preferred for such dimension. If you continue with your plan, I suggest you cut a minimum of 4 dados on the underside and insert 1/4" thick X 1" steel strips to keep the top from bowing.
I agree the electric planer will cause more issues than it can solve. Not a good tool to attempt to flatten a top. You will get all sorts of ridges and be more uneven. Hand planes would be better. If you want a power tool option, making a sled for a router would give a better result than an electric planer.
