I remember reading somewhere I thought it was one of Paul’s Blog
about sometimes you have to file the edge of the plane behind the blade (casting error) in order for the frog to sit properly. This is what I had to do with my block plane the casting was uneven and a couple of minutes with a flat diamond needle file the job was done. Its scary to take such an action fearing to ruin the whole thing but it was well worth the effort.
here’s some more info.
