Frogs for Veritas Custom Bench Planes
- These are the frogs used in our custom bench planes
- Low angles cut end grain cleanly while higher angles are used to plane face grain
- The higher the blade angle, the harder the plane is to push, but the less likely it is to cause tear-out in difficult grain
- Available in 2" and 2 3/8" widths
- The 40° frog provides a low cutting angle that reduces cut resistance and cleanly severs end-grain fibers
- The 45° frog offers a cutting angle that is suitable for most work; also known as common pitch, it is the most frequently used bed angle for bevel-down planes
- The 55° frog provides a higher cutting angle, also known as middle pitch, for dealing with tear-out in difficult grain and figured wood, though it takes a greater effort to push
- You can also order any frog angle between 40° and 65° in 1/2° increments
- Made in Canada
