Plow planes like this were widely used by woodworkers, cabinetmakers, and carpenters from the 18th to early 20th centuries for cutting grooves (plows) in wood to fit panels, joints, or decorative moldings. Before modern power tools, these hand planes were essential for precise joinery work in furniture making, cabinetry, and timber construction. The adjustable wooden rods allowed craftsmen to control the cutting width, making it a versatile tool for different woodworking applications.
