However, from preceding [early ] responses OP could have impression that you never touch c/b. It is possible that someone reading this discussin, who 'restored' old plane and never 'sharpened' the c/b will think again... P.S. David, it is nice you check the site from time to time.

However, from preceding [early ] responses OP could have impression that you never touch c/b. Thanks for your clarification. I think by now the message is clear to everyone, especially any new plane users reading this thread: A new plane from a reputable plane maker can and should be used without anything done to the chip-breaker. If there is an issue with the chip-breaker, it is not a design issue, it is a QA issue. And the defect can be dealt with by the vendor, or by the new owner only if he or she wishes to do so. The chip-breaker of course can be touched even if it is new and working well. Some of us even have a back-beveled chip-breaker. Same for plane blades...some of us back bevel a blade (not the same as ruler trick). Simon RE: New wood river 5 1/2 jack plane - Tony Z - 01-11-2019 Whew!

But in the world of BUs... could someone be honing the lever cap instead?!

I have honed the adjustable mouth on one of mine. RE: New wood river 5 1/2 jack plane - Tony Z - 01-12-2019 I have removed the adjustable mouth of my #62, milled a cross slot in it, installed a magnet there (well ahead of the mouth). Works very well in gathering loose screws, nails etc., so I don't run over them with the plane...
