I have never used a grinder. What are you all refering to with the angles when you write ie, 45/25?

The angles he is stating and the pics of the teeth he is showing do not seem to correspond.

Going back to the Madsen's reference, I'm referring to the inside top plate and the inside side plate angles.

Well today I ran my freshly ported ms 441 rcm that Alan Wolthuis did for me. I heard the mail lady coming so I ran to the mail box and she handed me over a box that I have been really excited to get. It's two chains from Mike Lee!!!! So I quickly go inside and open the box. One chain was left alone and the other one was played with by Mike, I grab the one that Mike didn't touch and put it on the saw and gave it a few cuts. I wasn't that impressed please note Mike did NOT touch this one, trust me he makes one heck of a chain. So I go inside and relaxed then went back out to give my hand a go first time square filing. It was an experience that I really enjoyed and I can't really see my self using round anymore except on .325. Well I know it's no Mike Lee or John Reilly chain but I think she will cut.
Thank you @mdavlee

There's a small top beak, but your pictures are high enough res that you can just see it.
