Tonite, I was attempting to use my new Veritas Custom Jack to take the rock out of my endcap. The rock is corner to corner, the endcap is a purpleheart/maple/purpleheart sandwich. I was unable to get more than a couple of strokes before the blade would retreat back into the plane.
What's up with that? I've never encountered a blade that won't hold it's depth setting if the lever cap was cranked down enough. I thought I was cranking this one down, but... Seems to me that if I crank down enough to hold the setting, then I won't be able to adjust the depth. Not to mention the purported risk of damaging the plane itself by setting the lever cap too tight.
Bum plane? Bad technique? Mix? Something else?
