Rabbet planes used to be widely available, but are now being discontinued by manufacturers. We developed this specialized plane to convert a chisel into a rabbet plane.
The body is made of ductile cast iron and is configured to hold a 25mm bevel-edge chisel at a 45° angle, the same pitch as used on bench planes. It becomes a small plane that works equally well as a shoulder plane or rabbet plane and can be used to clean up machine-cut rabbets and tenons. It works like a butt mortise plane for cutting hinge gains. It will also cut 25mm dadoes and grooves up to a depth of 9.5mm.
Precisely machined, with an overall size is 35mm wide by 140mm long by 63mm high, and featuring a solid brass clamping screw.
While it excels as a job-site plane, it is equally handy in the shop.
Made in Canada.
