You can make ship lap edges using either machine. Another name for this joint is rabbeting (when done with the grain), or dadoing (when done cross-grain). (I always wondered about that. *lol*)

As for how to make either of these joints, I'm not even going to try and explain it. First, been too long since "I've" done it. Second, .......it's just better if any instruction comes from people who do this work on a regular basis.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
