Uneven cutters

[Trx250r180]

I've gotten pretty good results at zero for the table. I do use 40* for the head tilt and 30* for top plate angle still.

40 for the head tilt will give a sharper cutter ,it's more personal preference where 30 will last a little longer ,keep in mind the thin stihl wheel ,after you grind ,a file won't fit so perfect unless you reshape some with it

also to the op ,are you grinding chisel or round cornered chain ?

here is a round cornered i did for my sawmill ,angles are 30 0 10

here is a chisel chain i was trying angles on 30 20 25 ,came out almost like a square grind
the pic with the square grinder in background is not the grinder i used ,i was using the light for the picture

I think I will get this shim in and see if this fixes my problem. Then I will start messing with angles. I will start with 0 on table first.

Trx,
I am using semi chisel chain. (RM) Is that what your are calling round cornered?
That 3rd picture of chisel chain looks like it will eat some wood. Makes me want to go out in garage and mess with grinder now.

yes semi i am calling round ,semi chisel is correct name ,those are all the same cutter ,just different angles,it feels real sharp to the touch but looks a little grabbier than the square i usually use so i have not done a full chain yet

here is one off the square grinder ,see the side plate has less hook than the ones on the usg

I wonder if changing the 20 to 15 would lessen the hook? I like the way the square ground chain looks and have heard lots of good things about it.
