How to Restore a Rabbet Plane

Woodworkers love hand planes. But in a period shop, the bench planes that are so coveted and extolled today were actually among the minority when it came to the tool inventory. The joinery planes and molding planes vastly outnumbered the bench planes. Today, amateur woodworkers are once again beginning to realize the usefulness of the joinery and molding planes in the small home shop. So the next few episodes are going to be a series on tuning up and using the joinery and molding planes. To kick off the series, I'm starting with the simplest of all the joinery planes, the unfenced rabbet plane.

Did the same. Skew blade rebate off ebay. Lovely plane. When I cleaned it, it had B.V.Peters stamped all over it. Love the history aspect.

Excellent Bob, plus it was most helpful to have the role of the Filister plane noted also as I was confused about the normal usage

I wonder if some makers made the toe deliberately higher (with the plane upright) than the heel. I have a "T" plane where that is the case. It was made in the UK probably mid to late 19th century by Greenslade. Also, the heel is exactly 1.5" wide but the toe is slightly wider (as is the blade abut 1.52"). I'm sure this isn't wear so I'm curious as to why it was like this. It could have been modified post manufacture of course, years of patina have made it impossible to tell.

"You should have checked for bowing before buying" My dude, I found it in my great great great grandfather's tool box.

Thank you for this video! When you grind the sides of the rabbet plane iron down, do you have to put a slight relief angle on them or does it work fine if they are 90 degrees?

@BobRozaieskiFineWoodworking 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, grind in a relief. A 90 degree grind will prevent the iron from cutting right into the corner.

@@BobRozaieskiFineWoodworking beech wood is made for it. Its the diffuse micropores in the beechwwod that hold it as lubricant and thus stabilizes the shape also. thats why they are made of beech in the first place .Though worth a mention. Regards fine video .

Hi there, I had a quick question about my rabbet plane, but am not sure if you're still looking at comments on this video

@@BobRozaieskiFineWoodworking Awesome! I was watching the part where you were hand planning the sole, and trying to compare it to my own rabbet plane. Right now, the sole bevels out towards the inner side of the plane, and I'm not sure if I need to plane the sole or to plane the inner side of the plane or if that's how it's supposed to look. Here are pictures of what I am talking about: imgur.com/a/cwk3U73

Can you take a picture of the two sides of the plane? I’m not sure what you have there is a rabbet plane.

Rabbet ? Rabbet ? don't rabbet's live down holes eat carrots & say whats up doc ? Don't you mean a rebate plane sir Queens English ?

@jeffreyfreeman1485 5 жыл бұрын

Actually, a rabbet is the English version of the French word rabet which refers to what Bob is cutting in this video. Sometime between the American revolution and today, British English adopted the term rebate. while N. American English retained the original.
