    I found this rather interesting talking about chisel angle. Not something many refer to.

    It's referenced as "hook" by many.

    All about chisel angle. He never mentioned what the chisel angle is supposed to be. Only real number was 1/5 of the file diameter above the top plate.

    Kind of dependent on the depth gauge is what I got out of it,

    kind of like setting the cutting angle on a grader blade or a bucket busting snow pack and ice off the road. The right angle and everything just works. Wrong and you just get frustrated.
