Hi - I'm finishing the tool tray for my bench, which has tongue and groove assembly on three sides. When I try to dry fit it, the tongue doesn't seat properly. Upon examination it appears that part of the tongue isn't lining up perfectly with the groove. The tongue is already pretty thin so that I don't want to remove material from the tongue. I tried moving in the fence on my plow plane just a bit in an attempt to widen the groove slightly where there's the seating problem. But I couldn't get it to work. The metal gate kept slipping into the groove so that I couldn't take off any wood. Any suggestions on another way to tackle this problem or another method for using the plow plane to widen the groove? N.B. I first tried using the next largest iron with no success, and I really only want to widen the groove on one side.
Thanks.
Eric
