    Hi Paul

    The cutting angle is used to control tear out. A higher cutting angle better controls highly interlocked grain. Reducing the angle does not make sense if the performance is also degraded.

    Simple solution if you find any plane sticking - simply add a squiggle of candle wax on the sole .... and hold onto the plane!

    Regards from Perth

    Hi Derek.
    What I meant was - if you have a surface that is planing fine with the standard setup - how much extra work is it to use a higher angled plane?

    Paul, if you are taking a fine shaving, the extra resistance of a high cutting angle is negligible. It is there, but really not significant in this context. I also think it is irrelevant if performance is the target. On the other hand, if the wood you are using can be dealt with a lower cutting angle, that would be better. Not simply for pushing the plane, but because softer woods may be left with a more polished surface with a lower cutting angle.

    Regards from Perth

    I just planed a bit of hoop and with the lower angle the surface comes up like glass.
