My procedure (takes longer to read than to do!):
- grind all the cutters on one side (say, the Left cutters);
- grind one, ‘test cutter’ on the other (Right) side;

- compare this test cutter, back-to-back, with one cutter from the other side, and adjust grinder settings (chain stop, wheel depth, etc.) as needed.
- grind the rest of the cutters.
This becomes ‘automatic’ to me. I do my Left cutters first, back off the chain stop 1/4 to 1/2 turn, lower my grinder head stop the same, and I am usually right on.
