Now I usually touch up my chains with a file if in the woods, and if they are beyond a touch up, or its the end of the day they go on the grinder.
Nice looking grinding job there TTR.
I don't think you are going to be able to do it without the Stih USG Square grinding accessory. With the accessory after the grinding wheel is brought down.......the whole assembly that holds the chain pivots about two tenths of an inch towards the grinding wheel. I have yet to meet anyone that has this attachment, even a lot of Stihl people are not familar with it. Mine is 18 or 19 years old.
Note the handle on the base plate with the chain hanging on it and the diamond wheel dressing stones mount on the head. This handle gets pushed to the left.

Can we have a picture of the file on the chain and what is the angle the bar is tilted?

Thanks,
I usually advance the chain for each tooth and always work at the same spot. There is another thread here not too long ago where I tacked on some additional guides and reference marks to aid keeping angles consistant.
