A specialist plane for trimming tenon shoulders — the flat faces that seat against the mortise housing. The blade extends to the very edge of the plane body on the sides as well as the bottom, allowing it to trim right into the corner of a shoulder without leaving a step. Precision-fitting tenons is its sole purpose.
