66805 bugbear@c... (Paul Womack) 1999‑08‑19 scrub plane some more
Following the recent discussion on woodie smoothers,
esp WRT steeper pitches
(consensus seemed to be more effort, less tearout)

Following the "opposite" logic,
would it make sense in a woodie scrub to drop the
angle a bit (say 35-40 degrees)

You can't go lower than that because you need relief for
the blades bevel.

I know the venerated #40 is 45 degrees, but I would take that
as more of a "production" decision than a design one.

Comments?
