Coachmakers tools

[toolsntat]

Following a recent conversation I'd be interested to know of anyone who has used "coachmakers rebate" planes for their intended purpose.
Note how the side of the"open" mouth has a plate screwed across it.
My theory is a groove is first ploughed in the work and then the rest of the waste removed with this style of plane.
Cheers Andy
