Thought to start a conversation on high angle frogs.
From what I see LN and LV offer frogs for the steeper angles, and some older wooden and steel planes were made with the higher bed angles from the start. Do people actually see a difference between 45,50,55 degrees? Traditionally used on difficult woods or grain. Going from 45 to 50 much of a performance increase or should someone jump to the 55 degree frogs. would having all three be beneficial? Does one add a low angle, bevel up plane to the list? Let the shavings begin!
