I recently acquired a Stanley #7. I never thought I'd need one because I have a power jointer. I was wrong. I use the #7 as my primary method to flatten stock and the power jointer is collecting dust. It's not easier but I much prefer the process and it's really not that much effort.
It's working really well. However, I'm occasionally getting shavings between the iron and the chipbreaker. I flattened the edge so it appears to meet the iron evenly and the bevel is at a angle so the front edge makes contact. If it makes any difference, I'm setup to take thin, but not gossamer fine shavings and I have the chipbreaker set about 1/64 from the iron's edge.
What's the best method to go about debugging this issue? I'm going to recheck the chipbreaker to be sure it's perfectly flat, but what else should I look for?
