While I haven’t tested this myself yet, I would think it would do a fine job. The blade is very sharp and held at a very low angle. I’ll have to give it a try and report back.

Will the side rabbit plane effectively handle a cross grain dado?

Perhaps you can answer this question that I have wondered about occasionally: Why do you care if the grooves are centered in the rails and stiles? Wouldn’t it be more efficient(especially when working with pre-thicknessed material) to simply get it close and then run only the face (or the back if that is the choice) against the fence?

Norm mentions this “tip” all the time but I’ve never understood the benefit.

Marc,

Great project and better yet, a great reason for it.

Thanks for being a caring individual and sharing your talents.

Mark, another great video and what a kind gesture towards Duane.

I’ve told you before, you need to get your own TV show. I would love to see you on the DIY network. You already have a 1 1/2 years of video you could sell them. You would have a large following.

Never mind. I found it.

It was, ‘Veritas® Side Rabbet Plane’.

Think I need something like that.

Thanks for a great podcast.

Mark,

You used a plane to open the groove to allow the panels to fit better.

In the show notes you don’t tell what it was or a link where to find.

Thanks for a great show.

Let me guess. Nicole was away while you were filming this? ;)

Another great vid. Like the look of that new mag-fence. Great for re-sawing.
