I don't like shoulder planes. I remember buying a few because I was told it was necessary. Then they gathered dust for years because I found they weren't the best tool for all the reasons I was told to get one. In this broadcast I will show how a rabbet plane can outperform a shoulder plane on just about every task. Moreover why a shoulder is NOT a rabbet plane.
