A cut along the grain would be a groove, cut typically with a plow plane.<br /><br />BobValley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-15263512759585229432016-08-01T14:43:06.289-03:002016-08-01T14:43:06.289-03:00Matt

If that was a plow or a No 45, that would be the skate.<br />The top portion of the cutout act a depth stop, the plane is unable to cut deeper. The adjustable shoe act like a variable depth stop. For proper operation it is critical that the spur must be the same width as the cutter/bottom sole or a smidgen wider, never less.<br /><br />BobValley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-38493816578377582042016-08-01T04:24:44.343-03:002016-08-01T04:24:44.343-03:00Hi Bob,

I've thought it is a cross grain housing joint.<br />Cheers,<br />StefanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569365598390231433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-62074325974232082612016-07-31T21:21:14.199-03:002016-07-31T21:21:14.199-03:00In my case, I always blame the cat! There's o...In my case, I always blame the cat! There's one thing I don't understand about this plane. It looks like it has an integral fence, so it will only do cross-grain rabbets. But I think of a dado as going cross-grain anywhere on the board, not just at the end.

I wonder ...That is the way to do it, blame the dog.<br />I wonder why the previous owner of the plane never filed the depth stop? There is a obvious wear pattern on one side.Ralph Boumenothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606484453109932074noreply@blogger.com
