Much to my delight I made a perfect square rabbet and the key is the auxiliary fence I made for it, because it’s longer and wider so it remains constantly pressed and flat against the edge of the stock while the fence that comes with the plane is small and it’s very hard to tell whether or not you are flat up against the edge.
The only downside to using an attached fence is the width realestate you lose, I do have longer rods but they’re awkward and get in the way. I’m yet to find out whether or not holding the placing your finger behind the tote or holding the tote actually makes a difference.
I’m going to try this now, btw as I was planing a new possibility opened up to me, by rabbeting sequentially at varying depths one create shingles for a roof top.
