Yes! Thank you for posting this! I didn’t realize that I may have been skewing due to uneven tightening.

I was struggling with my low-end hand plane. The frog would always side out of alignment, pushing the iron sideways. Learnt to set it up the hard way - did exactly the same steps to progressively tighten frogs 2 screws. I think it’s working. Thanks for the video. Helpful

Thanks for producing this informative video! It should help a lot of folks. I had to hone some "shaky" frogs myself to get them flush with the body. "Keep on 'plane-ing'!"

Thank you!!!! I would say flushing the frog is probably my least fave thing to do on a plane lol next to that is flattening the sole but i would rather do that than flush the frog hahaha

Something else I've seen in the Bailey pattern planes is that the frog adjustment clip (it rides in the groove of the frog adjustment screw to adjust the frog) can contribute to the frog being askew. There is a screw that attaches it to the frog. If the procedure described still does not square the frog, loosen the clip screw and try the procedure again. It will swivel a fraction of an inch. Once you have the frog square, tighten the clip screw. You should only have to do this once. I fought with a couple of Baileys before I figured this out a couple of years ago.

Good tips and your right no one mentions this. I might add that you want iron sharpened square, but it is a good idea to square chip breaker too. One other thing is mouths can become uneven, so it doesn't hurt to dress mouth by checking square from side and file to correct. Super tuned.

The orientation of the frog doesn't matter much until or unless it's causing one side of the iron to bed on the casting ledge and the other to not. Once in a great while, you'll find a plane that the machining is off a little and bedding the iron properly causes an uneven mouth opening. It's unsightly, but I guess it could be solved by filing the mismatch into the front so that it disappears visually.

Ya I have seen a few planes where the mouth wasn't machined correctly. Worst I saw was someone deff tried to file it and fix it and just make it look like a wave haha like they used a round file lol

Flattening the sole is almost always unnecessary. If it takes a fine shaving, it's flat enough.

Thanks for this video. I have a pre-war #5 corrugated sole S/B that I really like. But, I had to skew the lateral far to one side to get the iron square. I finally moved the frog and have been wondering if I did the right thing ever since. Thanks for affirming my actions.

The planes from around the sweetheart period have a center guide behind the mouth the is precisely machined to align the frog. More recent makes and in planes made by other makers there's more slop, but aligning the frog is not difficult. The Bailey design is very forgiving.

@Bat Cave Creations the machining on the sides are there. Easy workaround though. I just twist the frog clockwise before snugging up the screws. I also recently chambered the the blade so it's less of an issue.

It looks like you have a type 14. The type 13 has no ring below the front knob and one patent date behind the frog. It looks like yours has the ring under the front knob, which makes it a type 14. Hope that helps.

I have have a #4 and has no frog adjustment on the back. the plane iron slanted virtualy. It also has thin plat under the frog, is that common?
@BatCaveCreations

It is common for vintage irins to be out of square, unfortunatly. Most of the time back then they free hand sharpened everything. It is hard to tell without seeing pictures but I can't say that I have seen a frog with a plate between the frog and the frog bed. REED Planes does make a modern plate to increase the angle of the frog. Is this flate angled? If so it would make the cutting angle higher which is better for tougher grain
