I think I've been sharpening my saw chain wrong for a while now. My first saw came with round ground full chisel cutters which I always sharpened at +/- 30* top plate angle and +/- 10* off horizontal. I started with the chintzy Husky roller guide and quickly moved on to a Granberg File-N-Joint and had sharper than new chain. When I got my Stihl MS-150 it came with semi chisel cutters, but I still sharpened them to the same angles as the full chisel cutters. Today someone on a different forum mentioned that semi chisel chain should always be sharpened at 90* to the bar. I have been sharpening my ripping chain at +/- 10* as well, but it is semi chisel. Have I been doing it wrong?
