Easy ….I made Paul’s rebate plane then added depth stop plus width stop on to sole……the same could be very easily done by modifying a vintage rebate plane.
See from the pics of mine ….it works abso perfect. Made from scrap beech 3″x 2″ on one side you will see body width increase glued on ( note the ovalo made with a vintage wooden plane) other side shows depth stop NOTE THE ESCAPEMENT SLOT!!
The bottom and side fences have a slot for adjustment….with 11/4″ long round head screws together with flat and spring washers.
I can get superp crisp curly shavings and a very accurate square rebate.
You could do all of this with a vintage rebate plane…
Hope that helps….John
Ps couldn’t resist showing off my modified vintage rebate plane…..gives accurate corner 45deg chamfers…….and my rather superb and very accurate ….height adjustable router….again scrap timber and sharpened Allen key notched to receive washer for vertical adjustment
