Hi Allen

My father was a Joiner and one of my previous hobbies was cabinet making...

In UK rebate is favoured by some and rabbet is used by others, about 50%
either way.

What I call a "rebate plane" is often called a "rabbit or rabbiter".

I have never worried about the distinction, but have in the past considered
that rabbet was a slang form or rebate. I currently hold the view that they
are both so widely accepted that it does not matter.
