    Default Spare blade for Veritas Low Angle Jack - what angle?

    So I bought a PM-V11 25° blade for my LAJ which means I have a spare blade available. Figured I’d put a higher angle on the original but unsure what angle to go with, can anyone make any suggestions?

    Also am I right to assume there will be no issues hollow grinding these blades?

    What task do you want to use it for?

    Smoothing and jointing WA timber - 50 degree secondary microbevel on 25 degree primary bevel with mild camber (do not attempt to grind the blade to 50 degrees - you will not be able to camber it).

    Traversing - cambered 25 degrees.

    Shooting - straight 25 degrees.

    Regards from Perth

    Awesome cheers mate, it will likely be used for stubborn timbers so will go with a 50 degree micro bevel. The PM-V11 blade will be used for shooting and other less cranky timbers.

    I think I once got up to 55 degree microbevel on a 25 degree hollow ground primary bevel - desperate times trying to plane some "random-grained" timber.

    Does get awfully hard to push though....
