Quick question about sash moulding planes

[Adam W.]

I did wonder what they were for exactly but yes I see they'd work as a really handy template while you are on the job.
Not needed by a machinist - I'd spend hours making the cutters and careful machine set up, then run miles of the stuff through in no time at all - everything coming out perfect. Cut to length first, usually morticed and tenoned (cheeks) already whilst in the square. Mouldings first then rebates. Best to do mouldings first whilst the workpiece still has plenty of flat face to register against the fence and the power feed.

After I've cut the rebates, I can stick the bar in a fence with a 1/4" groove in it, it holds the bar in place so the moulding can be stuck. The other side needs a shim because it flexes. Although there's bound to be a better way which I haven't thought about.
