You'd end up with a 30 degree or so low angle if the blade was completely flat. You could probably rig up some sort of Bailey-style adjuster to micro-adjust it closer or further from the channel.<br /><br />Is there any advantage gained by using the frog?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-71919494250238055312014-03-29T15:11:27.367-05:002014-03-29T15:11:27.367-05:00Maree,

If you look at the fixture in the rear you can see that I angled the standard frog about 5 degrees back to get a lower angle. Both work great.Peter Galberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206420121702258974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-63537600837498362442014-03-17T04:48:34.861-05:002014-03-17T04:48:34.861-05:00Hi Peter,

Then you could attach the non-bedrock frog on that. Basically chopping out the part of the plane you want to use. <br /><br />Obviously that assumes that you have a plane that is broken enough to hack apart, but together enough to use!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
