[TheForge] Beverly shear sharpening?

Anybody have any suggestions on sharpening a Beverly B3?

Mine is leaving an annoying burr on 16 ga. m/s.  With feeler gauges I
can see that there is about 0.002" clearance between the blades at the
front and rear but in excess of 0.015 near the center of the blades.

It's pretty obvious how you adjust the clearance given that the blades
are right but it looks like my blades arent quite right.

Do you suppose I could true it with a file if I took the blades out?
Anybody ever done anything like that?

I've seen a mention on the net of a Beverly website but I can't find
it.

Relevant wisdom, opinion or nattering welcome.

- Mike
