None of them turne
None of them turned blue. I actually barely hit the cutter. Most of the grinding was in the gullet below

I’ve never had a problem with them on my saws. Now, saws that I got used or in for rebuild? O yea…have had to replace a bunch due to leaking.
Will they fit a Stihl?You watch it to, the husky ones do work better, never heard of one coming loose.
The side plate is on a 30* angle
Still…mine would blue with that much time. And, it wouldn’t matter if I was using the ceramic or the cbn I have.
Going too deep, imo…
too much hook
I went down almost as far as the original gullet.
I'm new to this grinding experience.
The wheel angle looks too steep. I use 55 degrees on my 520/120.
Too much hook will cause the chain to grab and dull more quickly than it should.

I never heard of a Stihl flippy cap coming loose, except from you. Mine haven’t come loose.
That usually means it’s the operator.
How many stars in a degree?
Actually I was referring to the umpiring in the other game on the weekend (Coll vs GWS), Melbourne's wounds the previous week were self-inflicted.
Edit: Oh you meant my derogatory comment about Collingwood supporters. Nah that's 100% true.
Not “this” subject again!
It does get old. I've been using them since they first came out. Never any trouble with them except very occasionally forgetting to put them on or incorrectly doing it. Someone a week or two ago complained about having to clean them - never happended to me. Another that if you overfill you can't put them on. BS. Just push down and turn, the excess fuel is pushed out and cap installes with normal force.
Then you better listen a little better, but I'm not denying that it's operator error.
That being said, I've never heard of anyone having a husky flippy cap come loose.
Right, yours just don't start when you're out there
.If you overfill the oil, they won't lock in well.
As I said above, I'm not saying it isn't operator error, because I realize it is, but I've never had that problem with any other cap design.
Do you have the little tool that shows the proper shape the wheel should be.
I believe it's a combination of the wrong profile on the wheel, and you are going too deep. When you grind there should be no straight line on the side plate, only a curve. Your files should fit as closely as possible into that curve for ease of filing in the field. If there is a straight line from anywhere below where the file would rest and down into the gullet, that will be fine, but then you won't have a shelf to rest your file onto and you will either need to hold your file up manually or use a tool such as the husky roller guide.
Just because the factory can grind the gullet that low, doesn't mean you will be able to. When a chain is new getting the gullet is many times a second part of the process when grinding/ filling depending on the type of chain and the wheel/file size.
Hope this helps.
Right..:Stihl flippys are stupid.You watch it to, the husky ones do work better, never heard of one coming loose
I just don't understand what's wrong with male threads sticking up from the saw and a female cap. Much less chance of junk falling into the tanks. Kinda reminds of everything they do with computers...... change something that works just fine and the new " fix " causes all kinds of grief!You watch it to, the husky ones do work better, never heard of one coming loose
I will take this opportunity to plug my cans of compressed air again. A great thing to have in a saw box.
I hope to mount a portable air tank in the truck at some point and have the option of a short hose to blow dust off caps and clean off air filters in the field.
I do not have the tool that you mention. I'll do some research on chain sharpening to see what I can find. This is my first go at doing chains this way. I have been hand filing since I was a teenager back in the late 60's.
Once you get pissed on you will be forever more careful with those stupid caps.Not “this” subject again!
