My own observations says a round file makes the cutters hollow ground while a grinder makes the cutters semi square.I think that would copy a factory grind pretty well..
A hollow ground filed chain does nothing for the side plate except making it hollow, but rather gets underneath the top plate and makes a sharp working corner.
When grinding it may be an idea to swing the grinder wheel on the shallowest angle possible and just deep enough to get under the top plate then finish off the side plate and gullet with a round file or a triangular file. We’re almost talking chisel ground square grinding/ filing here.
I just do the 90 second tickle with a 7/32 round file on a wood dull chain or my grinder on a rocked out one.
