I picked up a Millers Falls No. 07 skew plane at a garage sale. I need to take a few nicks out of the blade.
What is the proper blade bevel 20 or 25?
Thanks, Jacob

Do you mean for the primary grind? You could do 20 with a 25 degree microbevel or 25 degrees for the primary bevel with no microbevel. Both as a starting point.

The edge is unlikely to hold up long at 20 degrees, and it may prefer to go a little higher than 25, you'll have to experiment with it.

Yes
I will try 25
Thanks, Jacob
