Veritas Custom Frog 2", 40°

Veritas frog, 2", 40°, for Veritas custom bench planes with 2" blades (No. 4 and 5). The 40° frog provides a low cutting angle that reduces cut resistance and cleanly severs end-grain fibers.

Different cutting angles suit different grain: 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.
