I’m consistently low on my corners, I don’t file often enough to train myself outta it.

A low corner or beak corner will cut faster or be more aggressive in the cut but doesn’t have any support.

One thing that might help is x amount of filings have it put on a grinder to bring the corner back up.

My untrained eye I guess. I’d have sworn it was perfect.

This might help, it helps bring corner to corner which in turn means corner of the file or wheel to the corner of the tooth.

No beak means the chain will last longer or until you find that magic rock or god knows what.

It don't take much of a beak to shorten it's life.

But they is real sharp for a while..

I’ve been accused of thinking out loud too much, but I’m of the opinion that; that kind of a tooth on that guys chain might just be because he wants it

No idea how it cut, but was gonna be on a piped 3120.

It probably liked that much beak. On a 3 cube it didn’t work out
