About 20 odd years ago I flattened the sole's on two planes, No5.5, and a No7. I did this on glass with valve grinding paste, all flat, sorted. Today I checked my No7, and it wasn't flat anymore :? It was touching at the front, mouth and heel, so it's fine to use(I haven't noticed). I was wondering, if, when in use it deflected that much it's worn away? I would of used it for ten years in a hand workshop on mainly oak. Anyone else had this problem? I checked the No5.5, and it was the same.
