Recently picked up a veritas shooting board plane off Craigslist. It was unopened so I’m assuming this is how it came from LV. I notice the backing board does thot sit flush with the base. About 1/8” higher. If I flip it end over end the. It does sit flush but having it in that configuration i can’t shoot boards at 45 degrees because the backing board sticks out too much. Not a huge problem obviously since it’s easy enough to make another backing board but was just curious if this is how it normally comes from LV. And if so, why?
I can move it laterally and have it flush to sides now but I can’t move it down to make it flush with bottom. I’ll double check when I get home today if something is mounted wrong but I didn’t see anything originally.
