@wedge if it were a bevel down plane. Yep. Would just put a microbevel on there and be done with it. But it's a bevel up plane. So this angle is critical.
@quixoticgeek@wedge critical for some operations where low angle will improve the operation. High angle on bevel up can also be advantageous for the right wood grain. Sometimes you just need good enough. So you might try it and see if it works and continue your corrections incrementally next time you sharpen.
Came here to suggest wet dry sand paper on your diamond but someone suggested already. Spraying the back will stick it to the plate. I've lapped the face of an A2 No 6 blade - A2 is slow.
