Sold my 55 and 45 years ago as too fiddily. I have a couple of widths in woody
rebate planes that get most use. Love my #50 for grooves and sprung for the Lee
Valley Skew Rabbet Plane a few years ago. It is a wonderful plane but I usually
use it to start a rabbet, then once established hog off material w/ a woody till
close to depth, use the Skew Rabbet Plane to finish up square and tidy. If I had
to go w/ just one it would be a woody.
