Buying a Shoulder Plane, what brand?

Recommended Posts

I’m a newbie and just recently got a Stanley 93.  It changed my life when fitting tenons but after reading this thread I just realized I’m finessing cheeks, not the shoulders as it was named for!  As of yet I don’t think I’ve seen a “cheek” plane. 

 

Rabbet block plane is typically used for that.

I agree with what William and Eric said. I had an LV Shoulder Plane at one point and thought the thing was pretty useless. I have a LN rabbeting block plane that is the bees knees. It is so darn useful not only for trimming tenon shoulders but if you clamp a batten to a board it works pretty darn well for making rabbets too.
