DescriptionSmall, flat Rabbet Plane comprised primarily of metal with a wooden button handle attached to the back of the object. A thumbscrew is located in the middle of the object and can be used to swap out thin, rectangular blades with angled edges. The sole of the object is flat with a slightly curved tip to act as a cutting guard. The flat sole also allows for the object to be used on the side or on top of a piece of wood to make a thin, more delicate incision. "No.28" is stamped onto the side of the object towards the front but is barely legible. "STANLEY" is stamped onto the back of the body.
