Managed to pick one of the older pre hotdog versions of the LN Iron Miter 9 on ebay.
On arrival it is sound and in good condition. However can owners / users of the tool answer my queries?
On yours are the surfaces that support the blade all in one plane as per the usage and care sheet drawing implies?Could the original owner have moved the yoke / handle mechanism by undoing the grub screws creating the step?

One other thing of interest is that the yoke plate has been screwed on upside down at some stage according to the use and care sheet. Must have frustrated the poor bugger enough to sell it as it would have chattered and jumped around. I can see lines in the bronze yoke created by the pressure of the lever cap on the unsupported blade forcing it into the yoke surface. All non fatal of course. Can/ owners / users advise if the yoke on their tool has a corner relieved in the yoke as it looks as though this may be from the same issue?
