Is this why folks talk about having to adjust the lateral adjustment lever on the shoot board plane?
Here's the story:
Too much of my blade was not being used, so I decided to put a small (1/2" BB) piece onto my shoot board ramp yesterday.
Now, I have about 2 1/8" of useable vertical height (blade width) that I can use, but my ends are still not 90*.
I was able to get the 90* only if I made my shoot plane blade way out of square via the lateral adjustment lever.
This first picture demonstrates same level zero on both levels on the bench:

However-the ramp is off a small amount....this shoot board is made of BB ply all around, etc

Is this common? Should I go down yet another WW rabbit hole in pursuit of "perfection" and make another hopefully perfect shooting board?
I wish I knew the math to figure how much that 0.3* throws me off.
Thanks for sharing your experiences
