So far I've had fairly good results using my table saw for tenon work, but it is tedious work making sure I'm dead nuts on.
I recently read an article on the virtues of using a shoulder plane to fine fit a tenon. This is appealing to me in several ways. One, I don't have to be so anal in my saw setup, thus speeding up that process and two finally a way to properly deal with a misaligned shoulder.
I have been looking at several planes, the medium Veritas and the Stanley. The Veritas has a 11/16 blade is that adequate for most tenons?
The Stanley plane is a take apart that turns into a chisel plane, is that worthy or gimmick? I don't mind spending the money if I spend it once.
I'd appreciate your thoughts on the subject.
