was given some money from the family of someone who passed. Been sitting on it for some time now wanting to buy something with it as a remembrance to that person. Want something I will use and not sit in my tool chest.
I had my mind made up on getting the Lie Nielsen No 60-1/2 Block Plane. Got to use one at a hand tool event some time ago and liked it.

I went to order it but ran across the Lie Nielsen Rabbet Block plane.

That got me thinking. I already own a Record Low Angle block plane Something like this.

But the one I have is 25 or 30 years old. Well built and like it a lot.
Guess I'm looking for thoughts on the LN Rabbet Block Plane. In use as a standard block plane will I be disappointed ?
I do not own a shoulder plane. Will this be a good option to plane down tenons?
