Reply To: Wear on a Record plane iron

Thanks to every one who commented. I have resolved most of the issues by flattening the cap iron, restting the frog distance and just keep cleaning the resin gunk out of the mouth of the plane more frequently. I think this is only a problem now because of the wood I am planing, as I said before the smell of the shavings can clear sinuses.
I took the opportunity while I was trying to fix this issue to look at my other plane blades and they are all the same so I suspect I have early planes with laminated blades.
