What are shoulder planes used for?

What is a Veritas Jack rabbet plane?
Well the Veritas Jack Rabbet plane is a descendent of the Stanley #10 Carriage Maker’s plane, which was designed to be used in timber framing.

How long did it take to develop the Jack rabbet?
The Jack Rabbet was one of those where my input would have been totally missed if you blinked. One of the reasons for this was that the development of this plane went from idea to production in 11 months, which is an all-time record in a company that researches and usually does extensive pre-production testing.
