wouldn't a standard wood router do the same job, I have used one for cleaning up aluminium weld build. You would need to find a suitable cutter for steel.

Here is some Zephyr weld shaver footage I just posted today - 05-27-16 -
as we are making a round cowling for a 1938 Howard DGA8, and this film shows planishing the aluminum weld and then metal finishing with the Zephyr.

9 minutes.

You may notice that the Zephyr has a slow speed with a lot of torque - just like the old aircraft high-torque/low speed aluminum routers used in the aircraft factories.

Hope this helps,
