There are a lot of things about getting old that I do not like. The #1 on the list is loss of eye sight acuity.
So, in order to adjust those planes with not adjustment screw I ended up resorting to the paper shim method.
The average college rule/graph paper is 2.5 thousandths. The tracing paper is about 1.5 thousandths.
So the pix show what I do to adjust because my eyes just can't really see this anymore........ Just remember........ he who lives the longest, dies the slowest !
Am I correct that others do this ? also, getting lazier I have a couple of smoothing planes preset so I do not have to adjust back and forth. This is the advantage of having more than one plane of each type due to my OCD disorder with tools ...
