    If you mean the transition from taped 1k to un-taped 3k, then simply hone away on the 1k with tape and don't worry about the wear on the tape as long is it does not wear all the way through. When the bevel is set, take the tape off and hone on the 3k. The normally required number of strokes on the 3k should be more than enough to convert the bevel to an un-taped angle.
