Tax included
Veritas frog, 2", 55°, for Veritas custom bench planes with 2" blades (No. 4 and 5). The 55° frog provides a higher cutting angle, also known as middle pitch, for dealing with tear-out in difficult grain and figured wood. It takes a greater effort to push, however.

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.

Which plane to start with depends on what you will do, but for most people a smoothing plane (No. 4) or a jack plane (No. 5) is a good first choice. The smoothing plane gives smooth surfaces, and the jack plane is a versatile plane for both rough work and truing edges.
A block plane is a good addition for end grain and chamfers. The guide explains how the hand plane is built and which types exist.
Planes of cast iron and steel rust easily, especially in unheated workshops and from moisture on your hands. Wipe the plane after use and protect bare surfaces with a thin layer of wax or oil that will not mark the wood.
Store your planes dry, ideally in a plane sock or box. If rust has already formed, the guide shows how to clean and protect them.
