Why should you buy a Luban Side Rebate Plane?
The depth stop on these side rabbet planes is simply amazing. It always ensures you don't overcut and the plane's nose is completely removable, making it extremely flexible - you can use these to access extremely tight areas and corners, perfect for dadoes, grooves and rebates. The level of thought that has gone into the design of these rebate planes is incredible - it's even ambidextrous, meaning you can use it equally effectively left or right handed.
There was a golden age of planes, when the quality and design on the market was simply irresistible. However, if you’re looking for a new plane, some of the age-old planing manufacturers simply don’t make them like they used to. It’s a sad but well-known fact that among modern plane manufacturers, you’re often better off looking to new brands for the best value for money.
