Thanks for the tips guys! I’m a bit of a tinkerer, so every time I get a new tool (or new to me tool), I take it apart completely and reassemble it to familiarize myself with it and its functions. That being said, I did try to insert another iron of the same width into the frog, but it was much thicker and did not work. Even with the frog set further back from the mouth, the notch in the center of the frog determined the broadest setting, and the tip of the iron would not protrude from the mouth. I found an inch and a half diameter sandpaper grinding wheel that was made for a power drill, and carefully ground the cutting edge back into square, being careful not to overheat it. Then I honed a razor sharp, mirror edge on it with a double-sided wet stone. Now, it glides almost effortlessly! Although this method was effective, do any of you know any good sources for replacement irons?
