Setting a bevel with lapping film? Interesting....I've seen first hand a member here who had some glass plates with the lapping film on them...put some uber scary sharp edges on the razors.

What lapping films are you using and sounds like it would be easy to take to much metal away....also, do you use tape to protect the spine.
