   I have a 78 and hate it, now collecting dust.

   Best bet is don’t rely on nickers, score a line.

   I Do them by router but use a router plane to even out bottoms.

   I have a 278 and use it more like a shoulder plane. It is so small and hard to grip I've never considered it to run a crossgrain rabbet. With such a short body and so little mass the nickers just sorta stop progress.

   I've only tried a few 278s, and hated them. Awkward. No good place to get a grip. Fiddly controls.

   The Veritas skew rabbet is a fantastic tool. Head and shoulders above anything else, either with the grain or across it.

   If you just want rabbets with the grain, wooden planes are fantastic.
