As primitive at it looks....it works. Probably, really the only way to fix it anyway.
Seems to happen a fair bit, so I thought it be worth mentioning. Happened this arvo on a newly sharpened blade.......The plane was set for a fine cut (I thought)....yet.....chaaaattttttter.....marking up the wood....taking a coarse shaving....picture 1
Then I had a look at the blade up against the light.....explained the problem

Belt it with a hammer....http://www.woodworkforums.com/images/smilies/standard/redface.gif

fixed - picture 4
Fix a lot of chatter problems this way.....same with moulding planes as well....in fact the old ploughs are ground with a bend in them to ensure the bevel is planted firmly on the bed if I recall correctly.
