Thanks again, Austin, I’m using the lateral adjustment to get the plane parallel with the mouth, and scrutinizing that is what made me realize the iron isn’t parallel in the other plane.
I’ve been looking for a bump,or something on the bed, but haven’t found anything yet. I’m also wondering if the frog and plane are mismatched.
I’ll keep digging.

So this is what is causing my issues. The question is what might be causing the iron to be ineven?

In fact, if I move the frog too close to the mouth it creates a gap behind the iron and the iron itself will hit the toe side of the mouth. So I guess there’s a sweet spot in between. Still, I think the issue is how the frog sits on the mount, because with the screws removed, it will rock back and forth instead of sit level no matter how it’s positioned.
By contrast, I have a Record no. 4 that needs a fair bit of tlc, but the frog sits pretty snug on the mount.

Regards, Matt
