sholtobros Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Has anyone else ever noticed on a modern (England) Stanley #4 that setting the chip breaker around 1/16th or less from the cutting edge makes the blade adjustment bottom before the blade engages the work much? I was trying to follow some recommendations on this setting for hard wood even from the Stanley manual itself and found the depth adjustment was the limiting factor. It's actually the chip breaker screw head hitting the frog so it's not the adjustment mechanism itself. I don't see why this should be a critical interaction so I'm either doing something wrong or the plane has more questionable machining. It is a Stanley that's less than 50 years old (It was bought new around 2003) so anything is possible. It's easy enough to compensate but it just doesn't seem right, any thoughts aside from buying a LN or Veritas etc? -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
