So I just got a new grinder, a Tecomec jolly evo (which is a welcome upgrade from a Harbor Freight gift grinder) and I've now tried out 2 chains: 24" full-chisel Husqvarna and a Stihl RM.
here's a picture of the Full-chisel:
I used 55° down-angle, 25° vise-angle and kept the front/back vise-lean feature at 0.
How's that tooth look to everyone? I think it looks super aggressive which is what I was kinda going for.. pulled the rakers down to 0.035 and put it on the 592xp and can't wait to put it in the wood tomorrow.. I'm cutting hardwood but I'm thinking with an edge like that and a 7pin 3/8 on the 9.5hp 592 it should have the balls to pull it at 0.035" raker-height. (as long as it's not too jumpy)
On the RM chain I did 60°/30°/0° which I think is about the stock numbers on that chain but it still looks good-bit more aggressive than stock.
I wonder Is the 10° Vise-lean angle (which on the Jolly Evo actually is moving the vise front-back) something that makes the tooth-beak less? I've heard it does something like that.. the top-plate and down-angle are simple to understand but that lean angle is a bit confusing.
Can't wait to put these in the wood!!
Any input is appreciated as I'm still learning

Have now tried out a special grind for the .325 Husqvarna x-cut 33G 18" chain for the 550xp.. my angles are 35° top-plate angle, 55° down-angle and 0 vise-lean.. was 1st sharpening on that particular chain so I left the depth gauges alone. I'm not sure what type of cutting it'll best suit, but I reckon those angles will cut like crazy and dull pretty quickly.
