I have a sargent 409 VBM (stanley #4 size) that I got a veritas blade and breaker for, it works great for smoothing most stuff but when I get into stuff where the grain changes I get tear out. This happens with the new blade as well as the old blade. How do you work woods like that. I know there are higher angle planes like the european infill smoothers and lie nielson has higher angle frogs for use with difficult woods. I think I have seen somewhere that you can put a 5 or 10 degree back bevel on the blade to change the effective angle, has anyone tried this and does it work?
