Not sure if this is the correct forum but I'm predominately a power tool user.
Like most woodworkers I always tend to make my dadoes and grooves a tad to tight. Right now I end up trying to sand the mating board to an appropriate thickness so it fits just right but I'm wondering if a side rabbet plane (like shown below) is the perfect answer. I used to struggle with the same problem when machining tenons until I discovered shoulder planes. Now I make everything tight and plane to perfection.

Based on other's experience, is this plane going to be what I've been missing all these years?
Thanks,
