I have an older Stanley No. 5. I bought a replacement blade for it from Lee Valley http://www.leevalley.com/US/Wood/pag...182,43698&ap=1 ; the 2" A2 blade for Stanley/Record #4,5 .
Not matter how I adjust the frog and the blade depth, the blade hardly protrudes at all from the mouth before it touched the front of the mouth.
If I move the frog too far back then the alignment tab (red circle in pic) that goes between the "legs" of the frog protrudes and doesn't let the blade slide back any further.
I am thinking either the blade is too thick or the alignment tab is the issue.
Any idea? Other than throwing it away and buying a new one...
Thanks
