I recently purchased a flea market Stanley No. 40 scrub plane and haven't researched anything about it. I did sharpen the straight edge of the blade and found it a wee bit tough to use because of the width and non-curvature of the blade. What I'd like to know is do I install the blade with the bevel up or down?
Plus while using the plane I noticed the blade would shift a bit to the left and my cut was difficult to make due to one edge of the blade sinking in deeper than the other. The set screw seemed to do an adequate job of holding the blade from going up or down, but not side to side. Any help there?
