I have the old style with wood handles and "older" new style with plastic handles (maybe 10yo). Both have the same size acme screw - I don't have the...
Seems like you're beating a dead horse here. Try this, get a fresh piece of lumber and plane that flat and true - your plane is just following a long...
Are you sure that's not red oak? Looks it. Also, I agree with Kevin about binding long term to long grain. If not rift am, maybe use a colored epoxy....
George, thanks for this. I finally made it there. 5.88bf for 8/4 cherry and 4.32 for 4/4. Maple was a little costly at 6.08 for 5/4 but not horrible....

I'm going to head over to Boards and Beams tomorrow. Spoke with them over the phone and their pricing seems fair for nj. 6 bucks a bf for 8/4 cherry...
