David, I recently reground a plane iron to 30 degrees simply by setting my compass to 30 degrees and used a file to cut the angle back to 30. Its a simple enough procedure and won’t risk overheating the steel. Checkout Pauls latest plane video, he shows exactly what I did to my plane iron recently. Just follow the contour of the gouge while filing.
