I got sick of smashing my knuckles cleaning up tenon cheeks with an old Stanley rabbet plane. I bought myself a pair of the Veritas planes and haven't looked back. Time cleaning up tenon cheeks has halved and they also work a treat neatening up tenon shoulders. They remove wood quickly and with little effort; 1/8" in a few short strokes. That being said nothing is perfect. I find them a little fiddly to set up after sharpening. They also have the tendency to cause a bit of tearout when the grain is running against you, however this is the grain direction that cleans up easily with your slick or chisel so no real problem here.
Overall a nice bit of kit that will quickly pay for itself in saved time and intact knuckles
