Timber Framers Guild Forums Tools Tool Forum Lie nielsen Jack Rabbet plane

Anyone used this jack rabbet plane. I was curious about this large rabbet plane. seems like it could be a good tf tool. tb

You mean the 10 1/2? I have one and its useful but best to have with a record 78(?) handy. The 78's narrower blade makes it easier to rough out wood if a large amount needs to be removed

The Lie-Nielsen is a 10 1/4, it has the tilting handles and nickers. A 10 1/2 is more like a 4 1/2 rabbet. I've got a very old No. 10 Stanley. I like it, so I'd probably like a LN even more.

tb, the large rabbet planes are fantastic for joinery. I have an Award NO.10 and use it all the time on tenons, cheeks, houses, etc even have a second blade for smoothing mode Once I was shown the way, never looked back. I still slick a lot, but I always keep the no.10 close by..lol

Yeah its the 10 1/4. with the tilting handles and nickers. I wonder is that their only plane that has tilting handles? I wonder how sharpening, adjustment maintenance you need to spend on the extra cutters? tb
