What's the difference between purchasing an aftermarket high angle frog for a bevel down bench plane versus a bit more clearance angle and a little back bevel on the cutter? This seems such an obvious question, I bet it has been asked and answered before. If anybody can cough up a thread, it would be appreciated.
I don't want to brag, but some of my wood is on its 2nd or 3rd project!

As a matter of fact, just yesterday the discussion came up. Check Derek Cohen's comments here, https://www.forums.woodnet.net/showthrea...st_7493701.
When I bought my LN 4, ordered it with the 55 angle. Turned around after the first push and got the 45. If you want it PM me......

The York pitch is a bit more consistent and compatible with regular sharpening, only reason I can come up with. Don't expect to take a bite, just a feather in use. Great for figured wood, useless, IME, for softer woods.
I like Hoadley's terminology, used here for "clearance" angle. http://homepages.sover.net/~nichael/nlc-.../caop.html
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.
