Thread: Please assess my plane shavings

I few years ago I asked here about veritas' different planes and the discussion then changed to talking about chip breakers, chip breaker angles and how to set it. I went on to put a micro bevel on my luban chip breaker (using the veritas honing guide set to 54deg which is the highest the guide does. ) and was able to get good decent results. Recently I tried again and noticed a tiny bit of tear out so decided to make that microbevel a bit larger so its about 1mm.

Ive re-read posts about chip breaker position and watched DW's video about setting it.

Ive got my plane to a point where it can plane vic ash in both directions no problems

I have a bit of figured red gum or jarrah (does anyone know?) and I am able to plane that. However, where it is essentially end grain I would still consider it rough. However, there is no tear out - I dont think. I didnt take super thin shavings and they are also not continuous - there are gaps in those end grain regions - does gaps = tear out? Would you say my shavings are still too curled/chip breaker needs to be closer? I didnt need it this close to plane the vic ash against the grain.

I forgot to take a pic of the chip breaker to do the above, but I advanced it a little more (i dont think I can get it any closer easily)

And I get the same results.

Is this as good as it gets? Do I need an even higher angle as I cant get any closer?

(I dont really want to adjust the chip breaker anymore, this luban chip breaker has issues I might post it on another thread)
