Thanks to all your wise advice and admonishments, I have started looking more closely at my 60 1/2. One thing I have noticed so far is that the adjustable mouth is not flush with the sole(?) of the body. I seems to be flush at the back of the sliding part, at the mouth, but it's definately lower, recessed, at the front of the plane.
Is this a bad thing? Is this something that needs to be fixed or is it an adjustment that I know nothing about?
Also, I don't think that I have it fully sharp right now but this low-angle plane seems to work better taking small amounts of wood (which is what I normally use it for) rather that trying to remove alot of wood at a time. Is this normal?
Thanks again to all for your halp and advice.
