I have used diamond files, diamond dremmel bits, traditional files and a grinder. A grinder is great for ensuring all cutters have the same length and angle so every third sharpen a grinder is good, since having the grinder I havent bothered with the diamond bits or files but just use the traditional files between grinds.

Use a grinder to take damage off then two passes with a new file and it's a perfect like new edge!

haha, hes not kidding either folks!!!!!

 

It's an idea I've thought about. A new chain for every job. Depending on the saw, ive found two 12" 200t chain for £12 so one on every job isn't much of a problem. Although something like a 660 36" chain is £25-30 depending on area. That I would sharpen small stuff is worth buying new chains if you can afford it.

 

A compromise could be a new chain each week?
