I recently acquired an old grinder (no more hand filing!) and after some fiddling got it setup and running very well. However I'm a little confused by the horizontal scale. I've found an old manual and have done google searches, but haven't been able to come up with a definitive answer. The manual basic setup for grinding chisel chain states you should set it forward or backward to 1.25 (depending on right or left cutter), but that setup is for standard cross cutting grinds and doesn't go into any additional detal. Most of the cutting I do is ripping with a dedicated ripping chain. Top plate angle is 10 degrees, head tilt is at 30 degrees on the scale (60 to the chain). Would 1.25 horizontal scale settings be appropriate for a ripping chain as well?
