So what if you have 2 chain grinders? What would work best (wheels) and what would the angles be for the "clipping" of the back of tooth? I think the leading edge of the raker is self explanatory.

Just a guess but 20° back towards the center from 90°

I like 60°-10°-0° . I prefer the black resin wheel for quick material removal without heating things up, but can also be done with the pink wheels as pictured here.

Are you chopping it or pulling the cutter back into the wheel?

I use a "chopping" action with a new undressed wheel, however I take several small passes. Don't try to do it all at once or you'll likely over Temp the cutter. Shaving off a little at a time until you Reach the base of the back of the cutter.

There were some real cool posts on arboristsite eons ago. Had a fellow by the name art Martin in it. A whole f load of info on race chains In it. A damn shame the pictures are gone from it. Gypo logger was involved in the thread b walker I believe was too. I also believe some long term members know the thread. Anyhow. There's one I believe called art Martin will the real logger please stand up. It has some good stuff in it about all this sorta. Stuff in it. Real real good read.

I have that Art Martin chain, gonna have to dig it out and get some pics. It is a carlton chain, when I weighed it, it was like 50 grams less than the normal 72dl Carlton chain. Lot of work in it, I think Gypo said he paid over 200 dollars for it.

I'd love to see it. Even if it was a "decoy".

You guys really put in the hours l, time and effort in a chain.
What benefits are there in having the fastest chain?

Best chance at winning a race. Fastest saw doesn't always win. The one who is set up with a good power/chain/sprocket combo and a good operator will beat a faster saw with a slower operator or slower chain.
