Before the Veritas rabbet/block plane - "It's a block plane!
"It's a rabbet plane! It's TWO planes in one!" Leave it to
Veritas to actually mean New AND Improved - innovative
folks them Veritasers.

Veritas has a rabbet block plane? I haven't seen it on their
website. Do you mean their shoulder plane? Or do you mean the LN
rabbet block? Or has this wonderful combo been discontinued?
