I got the HF 1x30 myself. I think it was about $27 after all the coupons.

How do I bring the bevel up high enough with out getting it too thin?

Practice and a much lighter touch. It's very tough on the 1x30 - the belt is just moving too fast. You may want to try using a slightly finer grit belt - you will go through them faster, but it will slow things down a bit and that will help.
In general I've been using the 1x30 for profiling and cutting the initial bevel. Then I switch over to a file jig to set the final geometry.

easiest way to put final edge on?

I actually use a Lansky. If you want to use the 1x30 go on YouTube and search for something like "1x30 knife sharpening" and you will get a host of videos that cover that fairly well.
Good luck,
