A RP is designed for making one surface precisely parallel and offset to another. One use would be for cleaning up the cheeks of a tenon from a saw cut to ensure they are parallel to the surface. The can also be used if the tenon is slightly overthick.

A fence could be used for cutting an inlay parallel to the side of a curved surface or a dado parallel to an edge. In this service its function partially overlaps with a plow but hey, there’s more than one way to skin *most* cats! :-)

I can’t see a flat edge you’d hold against a fence. I admit it, I’m stumped. What are they for?

I’ve been looking forward to one since I read a chat with TLN on WoodCentral about ten years ago. I’ve purchased a Record 043, 044, 050 and a Veritas small plow since then.

I’m still looking forward to trying out the LN offering.

It is an Open-Throat type router plane. There are two screw holes on the base, near the knobs, that can be used for attaching the plane to home-brewed fences and jigs. I attach my #71 to V-notched piece of wood to create an edging plane and to provide wing-like handles. Grandpa taught me this trick.

The space has never been a problem. If I need to close it up, I can tape or clamp a piece of 1/4 ply underneath to close up the viewport.
An open router can be made into a closed one. Can the closed one be opened up?

Been looking forward to a LN plow plane since asking Deneb about it awhile ago.

Is there going to be a pre Schwarz and a post Schwarz price?

Hold me.
