I have a couple of those, the screw is too far back from the end and so the
gap between it and the blade is too loose, it makes tight contact but easily
takes in shavings, jamming in there when the screw is as tight as it can get.


Yours is the first I've heard of such a problem, and we've sold a lot of
those breakers (and received many testimonials to their efficacy). The
screw location is a Stanley function. It has to fit the
plane/frog/depth-adjuster. And they're ground to a sharp edge that can't
lift off the back of the blade. The small bend in the breaker often
springs the blade slightly and the whole assembly then gets clamped down
tightly by the lever cap. I can't imagine how you're getting shavings
under the breaker. I would appreciate it if you'd contact me directly
with specifics. I don't want to post my email here (enough spam already)
but if you go to the website, you can contact me from there.

Thanks,
Ron
