Attempting to put together a router plane with a plane iron from Veritas. Expected the post to be perpendicular to the blade, but it is canted 5-6 degrees to the rear. Not sure if this means it should sit in the block at that angle (and blade be parallel to the sole) or should be held perpendicular to the work, with the blade now angled down. Anybody put together their own router plane using one of these Veritas irons?

Thanks Redoak49. Beautiful work. Inspires me to include the depth gauge part. Thanks Sylvain, not only for the answer, but the reason for the answer. I get it now, and also why my first attempt (where I tried installing the iron on the slant) did not function well (or at all). Thanks guys!
