The more common problem is that the iron bows the other way (in the middle) — pulling away from the frog near the frog screw.

This is one reason why so many people like modern bevel up planes – they require MUCH less skill to setup correctly. Try tightening your lever cap screw until the iron beds on the frog. If this doesn’t help, take your own advice, Schwarz, and upgrade to a thicker iron.

Isn’t this exactly the issue that Tim Williams initial post suggested?
