As you can see it took a hefty toll on my plane blade the white highlights are the damage not a micro bevel ouch ! Off to grind it back and sharpen if you decide to use this technique I would suggest separate blades for the 2 operations may be even a sharper angle. The mirror polished edge is the micro bevel I have been lazy lately and just kept touching it up on a sharpening stone. So its no big deal regrinding this it is well overdue and then my micro bevel will be micro rather than huge !
