Is there some insinuation in your post or is it purely coincidental?

Interesting concept and worth looking into, which I will!
thank you indeed
15 December 2015 at 8:49 pm #133179No Ed, it’s the whole shaving, the blade doesn’t skew. It’s as if the iron simply pulls itself forward into the wood. You know when you have a plane set up nicely and cutting a fine shaving; every stroke sounds the same, the shavings hiss off the iron etc. this one starts off like that but progressively digs in. It is most bizarre, and it only happens with this No 5. Another thing that I have noticed is that the iron doesn’t seem to hold it’s edge as long as the more vintage plane irons; I hesitate on this one because it might just be me wanting to blame the newer iron? Would Stanley really have substituted an inferior steel? To be honest, the whole plane is so significantly inferior to the ‘vintage’ ones I have, it’s probably worth me just taking it all apart this weekend and starting from scratch. Or going on ebay….
I shall report back.
Thanks again for your suggestions.
15 December 2015 at 6:32 pm #133173Thank you Gentlemen, I’m pretty sure they’re all tight, but I’ll check. by the way though, when I swap the iron/cap iron from my No 4, it cuts like a dream again……..
