Derek,
When used on your shooting board, how did you like it? With your ramped shooting board, how hard was planing Jarrah end grain? Does it compare favorably with the Veritas shooting plane?

I own the Veritas shooting plane and like it, but I rarely use it. I'm considering selling it to purchase the Veritas jack rabbet. I'm currently building a large dining table and my wife would like another for our farm, so I see a lot of breadboard ends in my future. I've been using my Veritas skew rabbet plane and LN jack rabbet to cut breadboard tenons. I clamped a batten to the table to use as a fence and 90 degree reference. This worked well but I kept bashing my knuckles into the batten. My batten was thick (a 2x4) and neither the Veritas skew rabbet nor the LN jack rabbet have tilting totes.
