I assume the reference to 'Philly Forge' is something that will kep me occupied for the rest of the day

bodgermatic. Well done, thanks for the link you've saved me some trawling around the net, with all the problems I have of being easily side tracked. Thanks again.

Sharpened up my blade this evening and gave it a try in the #6, horror of horrors, the mouth is too tight for it I adjusted the frog backwards, but no joy. Any suggestions? I'm reluctant to file the mouth because it's just right for standard thickness blades.

Hi Chris, how thick is the blade - it didn't seem too thick to me. If you do file the mouth will the frog take it back to a setting for standard blades?

Hi, Bodgermatic

File the BACK of the mouth then you can move the frog back and get clearance, its the bevel that is catching, and if you put a thin blade in you can just move it forward again, and you don't have to worry about getting it square etc.

That sounds like the solution, thanks chaps. I had tried moving the frog back but of course the blade caught the back of the mouth. I'll file the back, cheers!
