Luban plane blade adjustment
Hello, i have a Luban #5 hand plane, that i pulled out of storage to use, BUT when i went to plane with it i had no blade protruding from the mouth (yes there was a blade in there).
I thought "blinking" thing whats wrong here, i screwed the blade down nothing, so i moved the frog, no luck blade hit the front of the mouth or was too far back.
Upon closer inspection I found the back/top of the chip breaker slot/hole was hitting the brass screw that holds the cap, now i had the chipbreaker set only a smidgen from the blade edge, as recommended by the forum gurus.
I cant remember using the plane with any success before, i know i had trouble when i first used it and put it away and grabbed the 4, thinking i will get back to it but alas i forgot until i needed it the other day.
Has anyone had similar with the said brand? i emailed the Melbourne seller i brought it from, haven;t heard back yet. 5 year warranty on any defect! i hope.
Now no affiliation BUT i notice Wood River planes (same as Luban) sold by Jim Davey are checked and tuned by him, so i might give him a call to see if he has an answer. I can understand if he doesn;t want to help as i didn't buy mine from him.
