Excellent (and very speedy!) review, especially since it directly compares the Veritas unit to other extant and vintage alternatives. I am somewhat surprised on the sharpening aspect though, perhaps LV has something in the works to simplify the matter. Oh well, I've been looking at getting a side rabbet, and since there's only room for one in the budget, it looks like the Veritas will fill the bill quite nicely.

Hi John
Regarding the sharpening, if using the Veritas Honing Guide Mk II, just follow my guidelines. This is simply a new set of settings. It will work faultlessly. Otherwise freehand - this is also easy.

Thank you for posting your review.

That was very good,
I have one question...
Have you every tried pulling your 98-99 planes?
Seems to work and fit my hand much better than the way you show you hold yours...

Thanks Derek. After reading that great review I find myself to be $119 poorer.
Derek forgot to mention that it works wicked good at making Cobb Salad. With the reversible handle and double blades I was able to go with the grain and avoid the dreaded Turkey Tearout.
Just thought this tip might come in handy for those needing to do a camouflage purchase to get this past the LOYL.

Hi Doug
The website is down at the moment. I've got to figure out what is going on. ...
EDIT: Back on line again ...

I just received the Veritas plane and put it right to work trimming a rabbet on a drawer side. I gotta say, I much prefered the way it felt in my hand, and the way it registered to the wood, to my old Stanley #79. In fact, if anybody wants a used 79, I may have one for sale!
I read it today. Very nice review and thank you for taking the time to compare it to a couple of other options. Handy bit of reading.
I use my side rabbet plane mainly for the fitting of too tight sliding dovetails. Slide the mail portion of the dovetail into the female side till you get "significant" resistance. Mark the point of resistance with a pencil and make a series of perpendicular pencil marks on the male portion. Plane those perpindicular pencil marks away. Plane and fit, plane and fit. You want to remove the depth stop from the plane as it is of no use. Other than paring with a chisel of acquiring a dovetail plane ($$$$), this is the most effective method I know of to accomplish this task. Works like a dream!
Agreed Stanley. Here is a way of taking this a step further ...
