Yes yes I have seen that transition Montana resident. But I will say, again, that the same cutter length absolutely matters for finish on a milling chain. This is the only time that I am very careful, you will get ripples if you do not keep them the same length. Some of the ripples can be as high as 1/4” which is a TON of hand planing or even machine planing when your slab is 10’X12”.
I was sharping my 20” full house chain two nights ago free hand, this was the first time I did not use a jig on this particular chain. Low and behold many cutters had angles that were lower than the recommended 30-35 degrees as indicated on the line of the top plate. Free handing I straightened them all out making a chain with cutters that all have a 30 degree angle which will cut crosscut faster
