Lie-Nielsen No. 10 1/4 Jack Rabbeting Plane

[bugbear]

Anybody got one?

What do you think to it? What do you use it for?

I saw RC using one to help fit his drawers, and have been tempted ever since - apparently I have enough LN planes though (I am told)

Mr Cosman is adept at finding uses for LN tools - he has invented the neccessity of a skew rebate block plane for dovetailing!!

However, for anyone tempting to drop the big money for #10 (of any persuasion) I would recommend picking up a wooden skew rebate. Apart from some minor complexities to be considered in the tuning they are an excellent and versatile tool.

At car boot prices, they're also stupidly cheap (under a fiver).

Rob Cosman [...] has invented the neccessity of a skew rebate block plane for dovetailing!!

I thought that Rob learned that from Alan Peters. At any rate, I hardly think that he would say that it is a "neccessity" -- after all, he's got two dovetailing videos in which that technique and tool are not used.
