Shoulder Planes, Rabbet Planes

Rabbet planes and shoulder planes are specialized tools designed for precise work along edges, rabbets, and grooves. Their main feature is the blade that extends to the side of the plane, allowing for flush work into corners and along shoulders—ideal for finishing tenons, rabbets, grooves, or tongue-and-groove joints.

While traditional rabbet planes typically have a fixed width, shoulder planes generally offer finer adjustment options and often come with adjustable side or depth fences. In this category, you will find high-quality models for fine fitting work, traditional wood joints, and detailed adjustments in furniture and interior construction.
