    I'm wondering do you guys, do a 10 degree tilt on all your chains or just the ones that come that way when new?

    Thanks for the second look y'all. To be clear this chain in the pics I just put up was not the trashed chain I ground 2 days ago that cut like chit. This was just one that was laying on my bench to be ground.

    Just the full chisel cutters.
    The semi chisel chains get no tilt.

    I find that using tilt makes a difference on semi as well.
    The last pictures I posted was with semi chisel chain
