Handplane Judder

Handplane judder refers to the chattering or skipping of a handplane across the wood surface, resulting in a rough, uneven finish. This issue is often caused by dull blades, improper blade adjustment, or insufficient downward pressure. Other factors include wood grain direction and the condition of the plane's sole. To prevent judder, ensure the blade is sharp and properly set, maintain even pressure, and work with the grain. Additionally, the plane’s sole should be smooth and flat. Addressing these aspects can significantly improve the handplane's performance, leading to a smoother and more precise woodworking experience.

Would moving the frog back a tad and moving the chip breaker up make a difference? or am i being silly?

[@philaandrew100]

It's the frog. Back it up a tad and then set the cap iron 1mm from the edge. Also, it is a smoother plane and not meant for chonky shavings..😁 And in my experience Stanley 4's made after the late 60's are not as good.

I'll try that thanks I think this one is post 70's

I have found that there can be a number of things wrong with a plane, some fixable others not but you have to fix all of the problems before they perform well. In this case, I would check the frog is rock solid and fully engaged with/to the base and that the frog face is flat.

@@deemdoubleu I'll do that thanks
