I have provided two photos about the #75. The first shows the relationship between the nose and the sole. It was made that way on purpose not coplanner. The second shows curls off of an edge. Pretty even same width off an edge that had not been planed before. This plane indexes off of the main sole not the nose. It may be referred to as a bullnose rabbet plane but in the true sense it is not ment to do anything more than clean up on rabbets. Think chisel plane. It excels at some things. Trimming line and berry work, trimming dowels and plugs. Fretwork that goes behind glass where a slight hump will be reflected by the glass and trimming those bits of crud from rabbets where you don’t want to go deeper. As well will work on tenons and such. It’s also smaller than most chisel planes. It touches a very small area. If you use it as intended it can be your friend. Sharp and adjusted to be level with the sole and don’t try to use the nose like you would with another type of plane.
