    The bevel set is only difficult because it requires patience and can take some time. Keep the blade flex under control, let the stone do the work, keep the surface of the stone clean, and work the bevel until there is zero light reflecting from the edge. At that point, continue a bit more with light finishing strokes to minimize the stria. Another critical factor is constantly checking for tape wear - bevel setters can be very hard on tape. My Norton 1k eats tape noticeably faster than my King.
