Now I chop out a new throat from the throat side of the plane. The rear of the throat is a 45° angle and the front bevel of the throat needed to clear shavings is about 20° in the opposite direction. I merely index the chisels against the plane body and tap and pare.
I continue to remove wedge-shaped waste until the back of the throat and the front of the throat meet...
...in a nice, clean "V" about halfway to the bottom of my over-thick sole stock. The cleaner and more accurately-indexed your new throat, the cleaner the resulting mouth will be... which I’ll cut shortly on the table saw.
To lay out the eventual depth of cut of the cove I am about to mill, I measure the depth to the bottom of the "V" and transfer that measurement to the plane body.
I finish the rough grind on the bevel using the Dremel with chainsaw grinding stones... and do the cap iron using the same techniques.
