Hi guys.
I read an article that recommended newbies buy a #4 smoother, then an adjustable block, then a #93, etc. I was reading up on 93s and someone suggested buying a LN Rabbet block instead.
The Rabbet block is bedded at 12 degrees, so it might also meet my desire to get a low angle block. Kind of a 2 for one deal. Of course its LN so its priced at $175, but thats still cheaper than buying both a low angle block and a shoulder plane. But thats only true if one tool really can do both jobs, right? (Ive seen some dual-use stuff doesnt do either job very well.)
Im sure Ill find lots of ways to use either one as I get to know them. But I wondered what you thought - which will be more useful if Im making tables, drawers and eventually a chair? (I want to learn mortise and tenon for some of that.) Can I use this rabbet block as a good low angle block?
As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge with me.
Fred
