That’s a great question @dbockel2 If the cutting edge of the iron is protruding more than a couple millimeters past the edge of the chip breaker, could mean the blade is too far out, meaning you would have to roll the adjuster knob far back. However, it sounds as if you are NOT having trouble with too thick of shavings, but too thin or none at all, so it would logically follow its not protruding too far past the chip breaker.
What happens if you keep turning the knob, does it lock up and go no further on its own? Does it lock up only when the blade hits the mouth?
This may have been addressed, but is the cutting iron correct to the plane? If it’s a different maker, could be the notch is in the wrong spot.One final thing, Can you measure from the base of the handle up to the top of the handle, vertically? I’m interested to find out how tall your handle is. It certainly looks truncated. Almost as if the owner cut it down for his kid or something.
