It has been a long long time since I used a manual plane but isn't a
jack plane designed for very rough removal of wood ?

It was a *low-angle* jack, which is a bevel-up plane with an
adjustable mouth; basically an oversized block plane. My L-N
(equivalent to the old Stanley #62) is capable of very fine work, and
excels at end-grain work.

I always used a smoothing plane angled at about 30 -45 degrees from the
direction of stroke for planing end grain. A very fine shaving set and
more a slicing movement.

Ditto on the angled cut with a slicing motion.
