| Description: |  | Fielding says this plane is for squaring, cutting or truing shoulders or rabbets.  It has a wooden stock with two cutters on either side of a central bridge.  He describes it in use for truing the casing around a door and says it easily handles contrary grain by flipping the plane and using the other blade. |  |
