In the middle of my first plane rehab I ran into something unexpected. The chipbreaker will not sit flush with the iron (see pix below).
The culprit seems to be the junction between the "yoke" (the wishbone part of the depth adjuster) and the chipbreaker. It appears the tip of the yoke is narrow enough to fit through the rectangular hole in the chipbreaker, but only part way. A very short way down the yoke, it widens to a point the chipbreaker won't move past.
Is this normal? What am I doing wrong?
Any help, even if it's a "You idiot!" would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Danny
