    Default Does my plane need tuning?

    Please see attached shavings

    The shavings are super thin and its leaving a very nice surface, but the shavings are bunching up this and getting stuck - not shooting out like they used to or rolling out into a coil.

    Does that mean the chip breaker is too close to the edge? or is it ok?

    Back off the chip breaker slightly and you should be fine.

    Is that board flat, or are you planing a cup? I suspect that the blade has too much camber, and the chip breaker is a smidgeon too close to the edge.
