   Sounds as if the mouth is small with the thicker Hock iron and the cap iron is in the way. If so, leave the mouth setting tightish and move the cap iron back about 1/8" and try again.

   That did it, I have always set the chipbreaker much closer to the edge and did not realize that moving it back would give me the extra clearance.Many thanks for your help.Troy

   When I upgraded my plane irons to the thicker blades, I found that moving the frog back a smidge helped as well.Norman

   The problem I had with this particular plane was that I could not move the frog back anymore with out it being so far back that the blade did not sit on the frog. I did move the chip breaker back about 1/8th of an inch from the edge of the blade and that did it and the plane is happy now.ThanksTroy

   Your statement.. That did it, I have always set the chipbreaker much closer to the edge and did not realize that moving it back would give me the extra clearance.What I do! Dang.. I tried it and it works!
