Hi all,
I'm having a bear of a time with my plane. I'm pretty green to woodworking and neanderthal-ing in general, so please excuse any seemingly self-apparent ignorance I may spit out herein.
The chip breaker on my Mujingfang jack keeps coming loose, causing it drift toward the blade's edge. A few rough passes seems to expedite the process, although sometimes these passes do nothing at all to the CB. The plane invariable chatters, clogs, cuts like junk, and laughs at me. About half the time I go to remove the blade, the CB just flops down; it hadn't been secure at all.
I've tried to remedy what I think is the culprit: the poor seating between the CB and the blade, which could be loosening the screw--I guess? So, I honed (?) the bevel on the CB, trying to give the mating area a uniform surface. The attached pic is the CB's new edge, in case it helps.

Any ideas? Because on top the regular twist I'm planing onto surfaces, I'm ready to eat the Mujingfang.
(I put my area in the thread name because if anyone's local and willing to show me a thing or two re: planing, I'll happily supply some sandwiches and drinks, unless you're hungry for a hand plane.)
