Small rabbet plane comprised of five parts, a wooden body portion with a metal sole and an angled cutout through the middle (a), a wooden wedge that is rounded at the top and tapers to a thin angle at the bottom (b), an iron with a thin angled blade (c), another wooden wedge that matches the (b) component - (d), and another iron that also matches the (c) portion - (e). The wedges and the irons fit together in two sets on either side of the plane, and the wedges hold the irons in place as the irons cut the wood below. Stamped on the toe of the plane is "I BLOWER", and stamped on the heel is "I BLOWER".
The rebate plane (British English) or rabbet plane (American English) is a hand plane designed for cutting rebates/rabbets in wood. It's a simple tool used in many Western countries with hundreds of years of history. It was in use in England at least as early as the 11th century. The rebate plane is one of a group of planes, including the shoulder plane, bullnose plane and carriage makers plane, in which the blade protrudes by a very small amount—usually less than half a millimetre—from the sides of the plane body on both sides. The blade is very slightly wider than the body of the plane. The reason for the slight protrusion of the blade is so that the plane body does not bind on the side of the cut, which would result in the side wall of the rabbet not being perpendicular to the bottom. Rebate planes are intended for long grain cutting and are generally set up to remove large amounts of material quickly. The mouth is set quite coarsely to allow large chips to be removed.
