I’m sorry you feel that way.
A side rabbet plane is a useful plane. I am sure someone here will agree with me.
Other makers of side rabbet planes include Stanley, Wood River, Veritas, and Lie Nielsen.
Didn’t know Kunz made one. It saves me from having to buy one of the others.
I can immediately see how the tool is useful in cabinet building — oh, and luck would have it that I just happen to be building a cabinet, with drawers, using only hand tools.
If the groove for a panel on the bottom of a drawer is too tight after cutting the groove, I can widen it with this tool quickly and efficiently.
The relatively small irons proved to be very fast to sharpen, which makes it worthwhile to set the thing up to have it ready. Might as well go ahead and cut the groove too narrow on purpose and widen it to fit. We’ll see what happens when it comes time to do the tongue and groove joinery etc.
Pretty sure it will prove useful. I tend to use what is on-hand and setup for work. What other method would you suggest to relieve a tight dado/groove? Router plane? I haven’t got one of those.
