Hi guys.
This is driving me nuts. I've just made a shooting board, and I've taken all the care in making it, and squaring everything right double checking everything; and evrything seems to be correct.
What happens is the followoing:
I square one edge vs the one which is in contact with the front. No problem so far; a few passes with the plane and they are at 90º.
Then I square the following edge with the previous one, rotating the board 90º counterclockwise; and again I get a 90º angle.
So far I have three consecutive edges that are at 90º to each other.
Then I rotate the board again in order to get the fourth edge at 90º and no matter what I do it never gets at 90º, or if it does, the the others are messed up.
I believe that it is a very small deviation that keeps adding up and that it only shows on the fourth pass, but honestly I do not know what to think, maybe my shooting technique is wrong and I do not hold the piece properly and it moves??
Maybe I should apply the five cut (passes) technique to adjust it?
Any suggestion will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
