Also, got some more wedges on-order, so might take 3 wedges and try
grinding a millimetre off either side of the wedge and see how they
perform.
Am used to using an angle-grinder.
Good strategy for removing a fixed amount can be to gash with a slitting
disk to depth you want to remove (in this case 1mm) - you can measure
accurately how deep a gash is - then generally grind until you just
remove the gashes.

It would be helpful if you had a way to chuck and spin them from the
end providing they spun somewhat true. Then you could just work the
angle grinder back and forth along them as they turned. Yeah, I know...
probably not feasible 🙄

Having the desired hole size in a piece of wood laid nearby and testing
off/on would likely be easiest...
