Yes and catching the side plate Without touching the actual corner

It doesn't cut as efficient or as smooth as the straight vertical side plate

No sir that's not the steep Angle I'm referring to. It's gonna be a sharp side plate. I can not explain. I wish I could just show it.

More maybe like this shave it all the way tight till your damn near only the actial working corner untouched. Leaving a Super sharp bevel

I'm pretty sure you can see the different reflection of light in this picture. What I'm suggesting is to square up the corner in my second picture. Then use the round file in a super steep angle to bevel the piss outta the side plate below where the actual cutting will be done. The side plate would still stand tall and straight. Mine has a touch of beak as I'm gonna be needing that with a round tooth. I think I have a fast durable tooth in mind here.

I have some chain that I converted towards square on my Simington. I couldn't see wasting a bunch of tooth, so it is almost a hybrid chain. Working corner is square ground, some of the rest of the tooth has remnants of the round grind. It looks wicked. I have not tried it yet. Stuff is just getting thawed out here.

So really your just talking about thining the side plate.

I think I'm giving up explaining it. There are two very very separate angles going on on the tooth I've posted. The chain is pretty hot. I'll try it tomarrow and hate it but I'm very confident it's quick for round

It also thins some of the side but sorta yes. It puts a hollow bevel even into the top but. In theory yes. Would that speed up a square work chain or just no?

This is what I'm getting at. I wanna know if a " hybrid ". To a poin would actually ba a Dall hair faster

I like a thin low side plate in general. I believe that to make more difference than top plate angle. I know not much on hand file but I've done quite my share of it. I'm asking you fast file fellas if there is a happy medium of fast and durable.

I think Shawn had a chain like that in the 3/8l.p. race.

This is picco with a couple swipes wth a double bevel. It cut pretty good

That helps some. It's the start of thinning the cutter.

Takes a few files to do all that
