I just picked up this plane new, online. I’ve been fiddling with different blade positions and still can’t get it to sit right. The mouth is rounded off at the corners, making the corners of the opening smaller than the blade. Therefore the blade rides up on one or both side edges so the topside of the blade touches the opening of the mouth, and the underside of the blade doesn’t touch at all. So in short, the blade seems too big for the mouth, which is rounded on all of the inside corners. Should I grind down the sides of the blade? Or try to file the corners into actual corners?
