I am fitting a new mouth for an Ohio tool try plane that I have. My goal was to tighten up the mouth a bit. I am familiar with fixing the mouths of single blade planes, but this blade and cap iron experience has me flumixed. I can't quite figure out what to do with the bottom inch or so of the face opposite of the plane bed. I am use to having this face angle towards the blade. this plane seems to revert to a vertical face for this last 1/2 inch to inch.
as I see it if I extend my mouth patch to give myself a minimal mouth opening I won't be able to maintain that constant vertical face. In face I will be creating a shelf. that I fear will be a nice home for shavings to clogg up in.
Anyone have any suggestions for how to handle this situation?
Thanks,
Jerome
