I bought a wood rabbet plane on the auction site. (Item #400951046340). The cutter is perpendicular (not skewed) and it's about 1 7/16" wide according to the description.
I don't own any wooden planes not have I ever used one. I think I'll be able to get the iron sharpened and set without too much trouble. I haven't done it, but I'm somewhat familiar with how to remove, tighten and adjust the iron. I also have an idea how to start the plane using a knife line (We'll see )
Is there anything else I should do to set it up?
