I'd say sanding or scraping is a better bet than planing.

Ok, so I spent a good amount of time sharpening the blade and putting a 50degree secondary bevel. It worked a treat thanks@DerekCohen.
Question now is what is the downside of leaving the 50 degree secondary bevel on my LN smoother?

Pach, I would leave the 50 degree bevel on there permanently. After all, it is a smoother.

Hi Pach
The downside of having a steeper pitch on your plane blade is that it takes marginally more effort to push the plane compared to one with a shallower pitch. This is quickly offset by the superior, smoother surfaces achieved in the harder, contankerous Australian hardwoods.
By way of reference, the doyen of Australian plane making, Terry Gordon, actually uses a pitch of 60° on his smoothers. The are designed specifically for Oz hardwoods.

Suggest that you follow Derek's advice.
Cheers
Graeme
