Looking at Jim's pictures I was looking at the screw. if the end of the thread is ball shaped it would allow the cap to self level.

The only problem is the threads under the cap do not catch a lot of threads and the bolt is a little floppy.
The bolt on mine wasn't set square in the knurled disk:

It didn't seem quality was the first order of business in the making of this plane.
It might be possible to convert this to use a slightly longer carriage bolt.

I am intrigued by the 60-1/2 plane they are offering, looks like it could be a decent plane for 35 dollars
