So I've just got a new iron for my record 9 1/2 and it projects out of the mouth on its first setting by about a mil. So option 1, send it back, any replacement would potentially be the same? Option 2, grind off the offending projection, potentially losing the temper if I pineapple it up, then not being able to take it back. Option 3, find someone nearby with a tomek who would do it for me for beer tokens. Fill in option 4 please.....?

Could you not grind in another adjuster notch?

Just went into the workshop to check, and yes I can, in fact I've just done it with my Dremel. Plane now working without taking a mil off every stroke,thank you.
 
I tried the adjuster knob both ways as it has more travel if you turn the knob upside down, or the right way depending how you start. It was still projecting a mil out when the knob had hit the end of travel.
 
I have to assume you also had the cap iron set properly too, not too far from the cutting edge?

Ahem. It's a block plane - bevel up, no cap-iron (hammer) .

Cheers, Vann.
