On rabbets, plane vs saw
Greetings,
Just got Ian Kirby's "The Complete Dovetail" from interlibrary loan. In the description of the double lap dovetail he says to cut the rabbet with a rabbet plane. This provoked my question: Why plane out the rabbet; why not cut it with a saw, and then trim with a plane? Seems that planing the whole thing is a lot of work with ugly tear-out risks. -- "Keep your ass behind you" |
