The main advantage being that it will ensure the bottom of the rabbett is absolutely parallel to the face of the board. <br /><br />It is easy for a shoulder plane to tip slightly in use, thus creating a rabbett face which Greg Millerhttp://www.gregdmiller.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-84312564437280811112011-11-14T20:18:02.700-05:002011-11-14T20:18:02.700-05:00Jonathan, I was hoping that others would post thei...Jonathan, I was hoping that others would post their techniques.

In my experience you can ditch the plowed groove and just run off a 1st class saw cut. I find a groove still leaves room for the saw to shift side to side whereas a v shaped groove will guide the saw more precisely. Cleaning it all up with a chisel is really fast and with the right paring chisel is so much fun.

If you don't have a plow plane, as you mentioned, chiseling out a 'ramp' on the waste side of the cutting gauge line lets the the saw slide down into the cut line.
