This plane takes large-scale rabbeting work in stride. Weighing 6 lb, with a full-width mouth and 15 1/8" long body similar to that of a jack plane, it is suitable for very large rabbets and fielded or bevelled panels – anywhere you need to make a long, wide cut that would require major effort with a smaller rabbet or shoulder plane. The long sole and substantial mass help ensure accuracy; it will not follow the bumps and valleys that a shorter plane would, and the 4 3/4" toe registers solidly to the workpiece.
