when you press the plane down and slide it forward, eventually it does this. you can see the blade will selectively slice off the high spotpic.twitter.com/8MPRC6JVIb

After some passes though, we have this. on SOME scale, this has to happen if the blade protrudes. the plane is skating on the blade.pic.twitter.com/PJO8CxLFmi

so... what's the plan here? how does the blade not gouge a trench into the "flat" part of the wood on the approach to the "high spot"?

the only theory i have is that the plane DOES ride on the blade, by design, and *as long as* the blade is not introduced to the EDGE

> then it should only present the cutting edge to the high spots. and yet, i don't feel like this is what's going on.

the tool works. and it has worked for MILLENIA. i am, without a doubt, missing something. i just wish i could figure it out.

You can't ignore the rest of the stuff. That tensioner helps prevent that gouging.

but how? if the blade protrudes past the heel and we press down, how can it not cut the wood below it to some degree?

Pressing down is going to translate that load to the tensioner, not to the wood.
Loading seems to be taking a while.
