You are right about the lip - I never noticed that. As it was set up, the cap iron was angling to the left as it descended towards the blade's edge, so the lip was no in line with the right edge of the blade. I've corrected that and next time I use it I'll pay more attention to it.

Resulting in bunching.<br />BTW Ralph description of the evil miter is pretty accurate :-)<br /><br />Bob and Rudy Valley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-1786281356845660792016-08-23T16:35:42.793-07:002016-08-23T16:35:42.793-07:00Great idea about the acrylic, Stefan.

But I too have learned that lighter shavings might be the key.<br />Regarding the Record rabbet plane. I had that clogging sometimes too. Honestly I haven't spent much time in investigation. But I still have it and can have a look.<br />My guess is a) that's a handling error, or b) it has to to with the iron cap.<br />Oh and you can still use the frame if you will use some acrylic glass which you can cut to every desired size. A lot of commercial frames nowadays are fitted with acrylic glass<br />Cheers,<br />StefanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569365598390231433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-35563371374386419932016-08-22T10:45:38.866-07:002016-08-22T10:45:38.866-07:00Ha!

I'll try that next time, which should be fairly soon.Tiny Shop Woodworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375332433853904113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1321553715454450871.post-61005346350070386592016-08-22T02:28:49.767-07:002016-08-22T02:28:49.767-07:00Hi Matt,

I've had my fair share of rants and miters going airborne but I think I'm getting better at them<br />Trying lighting up on the depth of cut with the rabbet and especially so with the miters. I've found for that if the iron is catching the leading edge and pulling it I've got the iron set too deep. A light cut takes longer but you end up with a better, cleaner miter.Ralph Boumenothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606484453109932074noreply@blogger.com
