I acquired an old Bedrock 606 and have been trying to get it back into shape. I bought it to sharpen straight across for use in a thicknessing jig for small parts, edge shooting etc.
I was wondering if anyone had advice for how to limber up the lateral adjuster. The rest of the various surfaces levers and wheels are disassemblable and cleanable, hence oilable, but the lateral adjuster seems to hold to the frog based on a peened grommet. I this case it seems WAY too tight even with no blade, cap lever etc.
Should I look at drilling it out and repeening? Or just wd40 it and hope for the best? Other ideas? I'm about 60% confident it's just rust and schmutz that's making it bind.
I haven't flattened the sole yet, that's waiting on some shop time and temps above freezing.
