I got this job at work that is super simple. I am sharpening blades, work older than machining. The issue is, I am being advised I should only step down .0001” at a time for each pass to go down a total of .033”

I asked why not do a roughing cycle (.0004” passes was my exact suggestion) for at least half way, preferably a bit more, then doing .0001” the rest of the way down to finish. They said this would ruin the wheel and ruin the blade. I did it any way and the part is absolutely fine, and so is the wheel. Wheel is 220 grit borzon on a Mitsui 12x24.

What do? How do I convince this man I don’t have to go one tenth at a time the whole time? Am I actually ruining the wheel / part and hallucinating the numbers from QC?
