Thanks shooter, I just wanted to be clear about what I was, and wasn't, saying. Here are the two razors I have done.175370175371

My point is NOT that my bevels are thinner, but that the bevel width is determined by bevel angle and the thickness of the blade at the back side of the bevel.

I do a bevel just short of joining with a slow moving flat belt and a taped spine. Then reduce the bevel width with a 4" contact wheel. This is on an 8/8 razor so the 4" wheel is only taking material...

Grinding to a measured dimension before bevel set is meaningless IMO, without knowing the contact wheel size and the blade angle relative to tangent on that wheel.

With an inclusive bevel angle of 16 degrees and a bevel width of .02" the thickness of the blade at the back of the bevel is .0055"

Anyone have a link to this post?

I've only made two razors so far, but yeah I do it. The bevel shows you exactly where you are at and acts as a gage for the final material removal.
