Anyone got any tips or tricks for getting the iron set properly on a Stanley #78.
Had a need to use this plane recently. I pulled the iron out and got it nice a sharp on the WS3000. Now I can't seem to get the thing set up right. Got it in there where I thought it should be, but the plane just glides over the wood without cutting. Tapped on the blade to move it down, then it wants to dig right in, taking a big bite. Can't seem to find a happy medium.
In case anyone asks, the bevel is down ( :gar-La; ). Can't really put in any other way.
Anyway... HELP!
