Cutting edge 45 degree angle to the work piece

I’m using most of my tools too far down on the piece, which uses them as scrapers instead of cutters. I need to go up higher: https://youtu.be/yhuEVVSkDtE

My current grind angle, closer to 50 degrees, is probably why I’ve been having difficulty using it and getting catches/tear out while planing and peeling. Makes great V cuts, though.

I think I want a 70 degree angle with a radius instead of flat.

Peeling cut

Tool on the rest, rub the bevel, then raise the handle.
