Issues with Stanley Plough Plane
Hi, all.
Can anyone give me a hand, please? I’ve gotten myself a Stanley Plough plane and everything looked good; it had all its parts and its cutters.
I sharpened up the 4 mil cutter and tested it on a scrap beam, and it cut fine. Then I moved on to my work piece, and nothing. The plane barely cut, even if I extended the cutting iron, nothing. It got to the point where the iron was too deep and stuck fast. So I retracted it and tried again, and nothing.
Without adjusting the plane I moved over to my scrap wood and it cut fine. What is happening, what am I doing?

I always think “is it _really_ sharp enough?” And “is the angle correct” for the flavor of wood.

What type of wood is your project piece? Are you going with or against the grain? That can make a huge difference.

Hiya. It’s bog-standard pine. With the grain. No idea what’s happening.

So this entire app/forum is dead already, then?
