    No not really Derek. I am using Blackwood which has some nasty grain in it and wanted to dress up some areas that were still a bit rough after going through the A3. I have owned this thing for some years and never used it so decided to give it a whirl and see what happens and learn something at the same time. I might give Stewie's idea a go to see what happens I just need to find a thumb screw or I might put a grub screw in it so it is less obvious and for no other reason. Stewie, how do you set the blade protrusion?

    Chris; with the sole of the plane resting on top of the workbench surface. No additional packing was used. Apply some light even pressure over the top of the blade before securing the blade in position using the front locking screw.

    (To prevent damaging the turned hook always feed the blade in from the soles mouth opening.)

    Plenty of folks don'y think setting a plane iron with a plane hammer is tricky either. I find it too fussy for the result and travel another road ;-)
