I have decided to go down the road of modifying my esee 4 to fit my preferences a bit more; including stripping the coating, giving it a wood handle, possible doing the bearthedog mod, and thinning out the primary bevel. My trouble is whether I try to thin the primary bevel using bench stones or a belt sander(http://www.homedepot.com/p/Porter-Cable-3-in-x-21-in-Belt-Sander-352VS/100022581). I am leaning toward using the bench stones as I do not want to overheat the blade using the belt sander. Would I be able to make quick work of thinning out the bevel using a set of dmt bench stones?
