You can rewire your machine to run in reverse rotation, eliminating the burr problem on the one side. I rewired my Oregon 620-120, and it works very well. It takes two switches...one DPST to turn the grinder on and off, and another DPDT to reverse-rotate the motor. They both fit in place of the OEM rocker switch, although you'll need to fabricate a new switchplate out of sheetmetal with two round holes ~3\8" to accommodate the new switches. There's a fairly straightforward TH-cam online that explains how to do it.
I think you got a carbide wheel for the carbide chains you might want to check that and send it back for a CBN wheel. The cleaning stone is like chalk you turn the machine on and turn it off again. Stick the cleaner to the wheel when the wheel stops its in good shape.
Great video brother. I've been looking into getting either the 410 or 510 grinder. And of course there's the CBN wheel debate. Great info and good process. I've used a friend's grinder and boy oh boy it showed me how inconsistent my hand filling actually was.
I've been using the same CBN wheels as you for awhile now,never had to clean them yet,they cut cool,but I wish I bought 100 grit not 80, just alittle smoother finish on smaller chain. The 3/8 chain is no problem,
I cut my new c85 Husqvarna chain at 55-25-0 not 60-30-0 spent alot of time trying to copy a new chain and cut gullet a bit deeper,results are real nice,,on full chise chain.
Just a suggestion, whenever you feature a product in your videos, place a link to where you bought it so we know the exact one you bought and maybe where to get one? It would be another income source for you as well (affiliate links).

Get the 510
Great video! How is that new grinding wheel working for you? Is it picking up a lot of oil and junk or staying clean?
G'day Mate,
What brand of CBN grinding wheel did you get??
Cheers Mate!

The diamond wheel are for the carbide chain don't confuse the two
natural diamond for carbide. synthetic diamond for regular chain. I used Borazon for many years.

You should always give and maintain a little reverse tension against the locating cleat before and during the action of locking the rail.
Yes absolutely
I clean my CBN wheels with an Art Gum earaser.
Use the pink stone for rakers
