As an expirement I ran a glue up of oak through my DeWalt planer with the grain running the wrong way (Across). It planed out perfectly and I used the piece in a project.
The problem I had was ,the "Chips" that went through my Dust Collection system were not chips at all. They were 8" strings of oak. Pluged up the system with what looked like bird nests. I am sure glad I did not run my Dust Collection piping under floor. Overhead, it was easy to take apart and clean out. So ... No I will not do any cross grain planing again.
