Hey all. I got an old Stanley 151 in the mail. I tuned it up. Did like 200 passes on the coarse diamond stone, and did the same all through the other grades to fine. Then the strop.
Pretty standard. So I think the blade is sharp enough to cut, but when using it I'm still getting a lot of chatter on my maple. It cuts okay on softer wood.
I skewed the blade a bit because I saw Paul Sellers mention this. It somewhat helped.
The biggest problem is on very hard wood like maple, I am getting all chatter with dust instead of shaving. Any idea what it could be? Would photos help? I can take some tomorrow.
Thanks!
