LN chip breaker and blade flexing: Oops, fixed it
Hello. Recently I bought a LN chip breaker to go into my second #7. The first #7 has a Hock chip breaker in it. The LN chip breaker is slightly curved along its length and when I tighten the screw, it flexes the blade so much that it doesn't sit flush on the frog anymore. It rests only on the very top and botton of the frog. It's not normal, is it? I can understand slight flexing, but with LN chip breaker, it's a lot. This is the first LN chip breaker I'm dealing with, so I wanted to check with SMC folks before getting in touch with the shop I got it from. If you could let me know what you think, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Update: I just bent it back with a couple of clamps and it should do it. I was bit surprised with the massive flexing. Sorry :)
