Good evening,My shooting plane comes with a blade ground to 23 degrees with a 25 degree micro-bevel.I will be working with mostly hard woods.When using a shooting board with hard wood wouldn’t a 30 degree angle be better? Finally,wouldn’t Paul just sharpen the blade to 30 degrees or whatever is appropriate without a micro bevel? I never use micro bevels on my chisels or planes and love this method for its simplicity.Just want to be sure this applies to bevel up shooting planes as well. Also, Should I camber the edges of the blade? Thanks
