    What kind of magnetic guide do you have, and how wide does the back saw blade need to be?
    I may have a saw that would work, depending on what guide you have. I sent you a PM.

    If you're trying to cut it on the table saw, you'll have to hold the pieces vertically. There's no way to get the blade to tilt far enough to register 10 degrees from the horizontal.

    I don't think the legs are a bent lamination. I think they are solid wood, formed with a big shaper cutter, and then joined to the rails.
    I used to make legs about that size for a company I worked...

    I believe Pete Taran uses them. I use one, too, but mine is a much earlier model, the F-16.
    As you said, you're missing the guide bars. Those aren't hard to make. You will also need the setting...

    Before you do anything else, I'd clean the existing plate and put the back on it.On a back saw, the back holds the plate in tension, so it's difficult to see what's happening unless the back is on...

    How are you setting the teeth? What kind of saw set are you using, and what is your procedure for setting the teeth?
    The type of saw vise shouldn't matter.

    I agree: it looks like a Type 4.I think that it has more value as a collector than a user.
    I have sold most of my planes that fit into that category, and bought later types of those plane to use....

    I agree: you need a new bottle of fresh liquid hide glue. The manufacturer's website should show you how to tell it's fresh.
    It looks like not enough glue was used in the original glue-up. That's a...

    No, I wouldn't use super glue.

    You'll probably have to buy elm from a local sawmill, if it is native to your area. It will probably be green, and you'll have to dry it your self.
    Most of the larger lumberyards don't carry elm,...

    I don't recognize it, but the iron looks similar to those for the Stanley no. 248 weatherstrip plane. My guess would be a weatherstrip plane, but I don't know who made it.

    I'd recommend 3M 90 spray adhesive. If you put both surfaces together while they're still slightly wet, you'll have a short time to adjust the pad to center it.
