if you're doing western style bright cut, diane scalise advises a 20 degree heel. if you're learning western style, her video pretty much xplains it ! but sam is right about the heel- got to keep it short ! or bad results will follow . also for bright cut, all surfaces that touch the cut must be highly polished, otherwise you get a bright cut with scratches in it.
