Q: What are these rabbet planes used for?
They make fine, controlled cuts in tight areas you would ordinarily trim only with a chisel, and the narrow soles also make them useful for cleaning up dadoes and grooves.

Width:
Choose an option to view item availability.
These slender pocket-size planes allow fine, controlled cuts in areas you could ordinarily trim only with a chisel. With very narrow soles, they are also useful for cleaning dados or grooves.
Comfortable and easily maneuvered, they are relatively tall to provide a good gripping surface and have an upswept palm rest for registration in the hand. The ductile cast iron body has a fixed mouth, a 3" long sole, and is accurately machined and ground.
The low 15° bed angle combined with the 30° blade bevel provides a 45° cutting angle. The lapped blade is made of O1 tool steel. A brass, one-piece lever cap/palm rest holds the full-width blade in place.
Available in five widths, 1/4", 5/16" (8mm), 3/8", 6mm, and 10mm; sold separately or in sets.
Made in Canada. Patented.
