Flattening Clifton #5
https://www.woodworkforums.com/f65/sc...ml#post1528580
Reply re the necessity for plane blade, or even frog, to be in place when flattening the base.
Ueee scraped the base flat to an exacting degree - without the frog, and found no deformation once reassembled.
Cheers,
Paul

It's like boring cylinders in an engine with Torque Plates bolted on it. You do it just in case it changes dimensionally with everything torqued in place.

I always scrape planes with the frog in as I noted a small change in the spotting on at least one I did. They were all Stanley and the match may not have been perfect between frog and body. Clifton are very well machined however. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as you spot after the frog is back in to see what's happened. I never saw any change in the spotting with or without blade so it is not important to have it in.

I'm pretty sure up and down on some 80 grit is as far as many people want to go.
