Yes common enough problem, often due to from your plane sharpness, or lack of, but coud be the strop technique, which i had issues with for a while until learning to pull straight back like Paul shows. Id watch the plane set up and sharpening video again. Squirrely grain also can present a problem but that is the rare occasion, ,in which case you turn to the cabinet scraper. Ive had this issue, and for me ‘my idea’ of sharp was not sharp enough, so i watched the sharpening videos here/youtube many times to adjust my technique.

The issue i think you will find is that the stones need to be flat but solid as well, as you dont want it to yeild under the blade, and the second size at 2×6 is going leave you wishing for more room to work the blade. keep with glass or a flat tile and sandpaper for now would be my suggestion.

Paul has covered sharpening on a past blog post. 3/4 way down.https://paulsellers.com/2012/05/questions-answered-vise-toe-in-issues/
See link for some starter info on the gap issue, and as far as the two struts if that is the way the vice is built then i dont think you have a choice. Make the cutouts no wider than neccessary and you are on to getting closer to making.
BrianJ1. may or may not be an issue. It should turn freely as that is what it is meant to do – travel along the threads to achieve the chosen depth setting and remain adjustable. Once the plane is set to depth i can easily adjust back or forwards to change the setting to suit the cut I need.
2. My #4 always leans to one side in order to get blade protruding even. It may be a frog alignment issue (but I don’t think so in my case), but I have always been able to just leave it to one side and as long as you can get even shavings as Paul demonstrates once set properly, I have never had an issue in getting a shaving.
3.probably your easiest is to get a new blade. Depends if you are just eager to get producing shavings, or if you want to take the time to refurbish your existing.
Good luck – hope that helps. -
