I've recently purchased the LV side rabbet plane to clean out (and possibly expand) my grooves (using a #45). I'm not getting shavings at all. When I advance the blades to where the edge significantly protrudes, I get deep corner tracks with a little shaving packed at that edge of the SR body. When I back the blade off, I get nothing: no shavings, no indication that the SR plane is working. Nada!
I'm about to take the blades off and sharpen them; but LV blades typically arrive sharp enough for trial.
There's no apparent damage or blemish to the plane. Everything fits and seems to work. I've read the instructions and tried to make cuts both vertically and horizontally, but to no avail thus far.
I'm hoping some of you will have the knowledge to help me get this plane to work.
Many thanks....
