I've just purchased a Veritas DX60 block plane and am very pleased with the quality of the plane. However I notice it does suggest a honing angle/bevel of 27 degrees, but does state that a bevel of 30 degrees may be more suited to timbers such as oak.
Would there be any real world difference if I made the bevel 30 degrees instead of 27 for all timbers and usual use? Anyone done this with this plane or other block planes?
I ask because I usually use a worksharp 3000 for all my chisels and plane irons as I find it very quick and able to produce a sharp enough edge for my uses. It doesn't do 27 degree bevels however, the nearest to this is 25 (not suitable) or 30 degrees.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
