Seems no problem getting wheels for different chains here in Oz. Have a look at this site which we use. They list Tecomec and Carlton wheels but only for .325 and up.
I've got an Ozito grinder (China) and it uses similar wheels. Came with a spare but it will be a long time before I need it. It doesn't have adjustable tooth face angle, just 35 - 0 - 35.
We've been in a hell of a drought for about the last 3 years and our supplement for livestock is fodder trees, mainly mulga (an acacia). A hard, dirty wood. We use chainsaws (.325 chain) and chain of choice is Oregon Microchisel. Surfice to say that in that time I've used about one and a half 25 foot rolls of bulk chain, involving many sharpenings.
I haven't used a file since I got the grinder. Yes, you could burn them and, yes, you would be taking too much off and, yes, you should be setting so it takes less - it will really tell you that you are forcing it. I adjust till the chain just touches the wheel, then a tad more and check that the full face has been ground. The top of the tooth MAY look burnt but that is heat effect on the sap on the tooth - this depends on what you are cutting. No trouble with getting an even grind and a straight cut. And there is less setting if you have more than one chain and rotate them and then sharpen.
And, with patience you can do the depth gauges - set it on 0 degrees and work from there.
Another tip I got is to periodically reverse the wheel to help keep the face angle.
