Hi Paul,
I believe you said you found the plane laying around unused so I don’t know if you have other planes or plans to buy any. But one thing to maybe keep in mind is that if you are unable to tune your 4 1/2 to your satisfaction as a smoother, it would be very well suited to life as a scrub plane. The scrub plane has many valuable uses, which Paul goes into at various places in his videos. He also has a vid on YouTube for sure, maybe here as well, about setting up a plane as a scrub plane.
It’s just a thought, but you’re fighting the good fight if you keep trying to tune your plane for its intended purpose.
Best of luck,
Joe
