...intrigues me, and has me hooked for the moment...until the next shiny thing comes along.
I have a Stihl USG...a couple years old
I've read about the NLA square grind attachment for it in a few places, including here...

dresser attachment, different base, square wheel...okay
so I said to myself, "why couldn't a guy dress a wheel square, and figure out the setup?"
spent some time this afternoon doing that, and using a loop of 3/8" RSLFK as reference. it was a PITA, (and Madsens online info was helpful), but I thought I got there. all this done on the RH cutters...then I mirrored everything to make sure it looked the same on the LH cutters...and it didn't. I even tried a few different mirrored settings, and got the same result. what I got was, once the USG was set for the RH cutters, and I mirrored everything, the grind depth and tooth stop settings where off...about 1/16" too high, and too far back.
so...can someone tell me what makes the USG square grind base different than my base?
or...WTH I might be overlooking, forgetting, or FUBARing?
what I came up with (before the mirror problem) was +30 (should probably be +40), -30/+30, +15/-15
this is in USG format A (grinder angle), B (table offset?), C (top plate angle)...pic for reference
(click me...I get bigger!)
