Thanks. As long as you register off one side of the work, off center t&g doesn’t sound like much of an issue.
@lorenzojose , I agree, but be aware that, since the blades are 3/16 and gap is 3/16, once the work is wider than about 1/2″, you won’t really get a tongue. You will get a shoulder and a groove since the 3/16″ blade won’t be wide enough to clear all the way to the other edge of the work. The plane originally came with a second, wider blade to handle this that would let you clear out to the endge on 3/4″ stock (according to Patrick Leach), but that was lost long ago. It wouldn’t be hard to make a replacement, though. The #48 makes a larger tenon and handles wider stock than my #49.
