Festool planers... Or another suggestion?

Haha, fair enough! I actually tried a portion with a simple pull saw and it seems with a little elbow grease it'd work lots better than my tiny plane. And it's quieter and faster than my MultiMaster. I may try to motivate myself t9 properly attack it for an hour and see if I can save myself the 300 to 600 bucks.

Yeah thanks for the suggestion but I can't use a tracksaw or I would have, I'm pretty handy with my 55 by now.
Basically I built a new room dividing wall out of 2x4s and plywood and on one side it's butted against a board about 8cm wide that spans the remainder to the perpendicular wall. When I tested it with pieces, it seemed to be very nearly flush with my ply if I put the 2x4 behind and against that board for stability. I'm putting sheetrock over the whole thing now and it turns out it isn't nearly flush enough and in addition, it's skewed by a few degrees.

I hope that makes sense. Sanding is too slow and so is my Fein MultiMaster. And of course by now, as it goes, I've thought of a bunch of projects for which I could use an 850 :)
HL850 is a marvel, but not sure how much it is a tool justifiable by a project like this if you do not have future plans for it.

A cheap belt sander would do the job here probably better than a planer would, as you do not even need to worry about the last few mm which the sander would not cover as you can just grind the sheetrock a bit instead and it would do a better job at getting to the start and end too.
