No it was a 3/4 wide board the at I was trying to set the plane on.. a stroke down the center the the right then left to try get an even cut across the blade. Using the center it cuts well and squared up the edge nicely. I think I was expecting a 40mm shaving from the blade but in reality from...

My guess is too much pressure on the edges of the blade causing the camber, its what I do with my jig to camber the blade. Pete Yer I did it square in the guide then tilted to take corners off but only 3 or 4 strokes.. thought that what you’re meant to do going off paul Sellers video??

Yer I was only trying to set the plan on the 3/4” stock. Would you suggest a plane for jointing and then another for panel work? As it happens I have a few to refurbish and get to work with :D

. If your adamant on having a plane that takes full width shavings, you need another plane really. Yes, you could just get another double iron and swap them out, I wouldn't want to bother faffing about like that though. Good luck Tom So far most things I’ve done have been DIY driven doing...

Lol cheers Fitz.. I’ll give that a go next week, not allowed out to play this weekend.. assuming the iron is good how could the wood affect it? I’d assume if it’s uneven and I’m meed of planning or is there more to it? So far I’ve tried setting the plane with a flat square piece of 3/4 stock

Ok thanks, I’d only gone to such efforts as it was an eBay but and was a rusty mess, now that it’s had it’s initial TLC I’ll only be sharpening on a 400 and 1000 grit diamond plate before honing on leather.. I’ll put it to work and see where I get. Thanks for all the advice

I’m new to hand planes so what should I expect? I’d guessed with the corners taken off and running over a smooth piece of 3/4” stock I’d be able to cut across most of the iron, less maybe 5mm either side?? Is that right or way off? Using the center of the plane I was able to flatten and square...

I used 120, 180, 240,400, 600 papers on the surface plate using the Veritas guide set at 25 degrees then 1000 grit diamond stone again with the Veritas and then pulled it across a section f leather glued to a length of ply with cutting compound on it

Thanks everyone by the way, new to the site and it’s great people are replying instantly

Wood wasn’t square but I did square up, it was a 18mm piece of pine.. If it’s working how it should what shaving width should I expect from a 50mm cutting iron?

I have a 24x36” cast iron surface plate that I’ve sharpened on using increasing grits.. I need to get the feeler gauge out to know how accurate but used engineers blue on the entire sole as it cleaned up evenly. It’s a corrugated sole of that would make a difference? Cutting iron is square...

I’ve recently restored a stanly No4 as per one of Paul Sellers videos. I’ve come to set the plane I’m only getting a shaving from the center of the cutting iron. Nothing on the left or right. I’ve used my Veritas guide and the cutting iron is perfectly square with a 25 degree bevel to 1000...
