As I said earlier, the setting for a shooter is as you would have it for normal bench planing, which is generally finly set, smallish mouth and very sharp...it's not difficult :wink: - Robwoodbloke":2uehokva said:The plane setting for use on a shute is as you would have it normally set up for bench planing, it's not that different 'cept that the plane's on it's side - Rob

Digit":38t8g6m6 said:Basically yes PO, but if the feather on the edge is small normally you can simply live with it. Alternatively plane the edge that rested against the fence/stop and remove any breakout that way.
I wonder ... if I shunted the facing piece on my stop block (it has a hardwood face) out a bit, that might help?
Digit":3vmrf7uu said:That should do it, but remember PO, the edge always wears in the long term, which is why I use a sacrificial face and replace it as needed.
