Stanley #4 question
Kerry in Fort Sask, Alberta
>Hi folks,
I picked up a #4 off ebay a while back - it's not that old - one of the purple colored ones (kind of icky, but it was fairly cheap). I cleaned it up and filed down the frog to let it seat metal to metal against the body (it was paint to paint originally), but when I put the blade back in, the blade and even the edge of the chipbreaker extend through the mouth even with the blade retracted all the way. I imagine that before I filed, when the frog seated paint on paint with the body that it could have been retracted more. Is there anything I can do other than file the hole on the chipbreaker larger - the one that accepts the adjustment piece? I hope I've explained this reasonably well.
