Help! I just got my NT grinder mounted and modded and can't find the correct angles for the Stihl RS23 chain that I have. I assume its 60deg head angle with 30deg topplate but am unsure about whether to use the 10deg tilt.

It raises and interesting point that you guys likely know the answer to....since you can apparently grind any chain to nearly any angle (within reason), what works best for clean and dirty wood.

For example, does 50 deg head angle work better or worse than 60 deg or 70 deg.....does 25 deg top plate work better or worse than 30 or 35 deg, and finally does 0 work better or worse than 10 deg.

thanks for any help
bob
