More than that, the blade angle is perfect for shaving.
Moulding planes have much too steep a blade angle and I have never seen any special low angle ones.
One significant development did occur during these times; the blade angle was lowered to 45 degrees from 50 degrees.
This allows control in the blade angle for delicate cutting and allows for ease of sharpening.
In this part one has to be very careful about the blade angles at inlet and outlet as these are the major parameters affecting the power production.
At one hundred, pull full blade angle.
No power flare at one fifty, full blade angle at one hundred.
One of the influential factors was the propeller design in relation to the most efficient blade angle.
It was apparent, that the blade angle needs to be adjustable.
The direct adjustment of blade angle was faded out automatically as the blade angle increased with increasing forward speed.
