In fact, they probably would have figured out how to use it in ways we couldn't to better effect.

I wasn't able to remove very much material, which slowed things down. I can see where a rabbet plane with a slight curve to the blade would work much better.Kari Hultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224053263659415329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-59588989858390621712008-05-23T00:42:00.000-04:002008-05-23T00:42:00.000-04:00That's a fairly deep joint to tackle only with a r...That's a fairly deep joint to tackle only with a rabbitting plane. My fault for faulty explaining. My understanding is that the wider skew rabbitt planes (1" or more) could be used for more rapid stock removal, with a rank set to the blade. The 78 doesn't take a really heavy cut so it won't do the job. This is not to say that removing material with a rabbitt plane is a sensible thing to do. <BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-74084867281230325752008-05-22T19:54:00.000-04:002008-05-22T19:54:00.000-04:00cheatercheaterShazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196666013653201878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-55079310848484780592008-05-22T13:04:00.000-04:002008-05-22T13:04:00.000-04:00LOL! :)It was a lot slower than using a saw and c...LOL! :)<BR/><BR/>It was a lot slower than using a saw and chisels, so I bagged it. And because I want to finish this project before I'm a white-haired old lady, I cut the kerfs on my table saw and then chopped out the waste with a chisel and finished up with the router plane.Kari Hultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224053263659415329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-83169579112385901542008-05-22T12:09:00.000-04:002008-05-22T12:09:00.000-04:00VC, I think you got stuck (I love puns...) on the ...VC, I think you got stuck (I love puns...) on the wrong topic!<BR/><BR/>You didn't answer the most important question!<BR/><BR/>How did using the plane to hog out the waste compare to saw kerfs and a chisel???Ethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10762615024207105680noreply@blogger.com
