you boys must hit a lot of crap with your chains

10-12 a week is an awful lot - do you tap then out to clear the filings?

 

I used to use nothing but Oregon but after using up the last of a batch I bought a few years ago, the newest box I bought wasn't great.

 

Tried Stihl ones and think they seem to last longer than the oregon ones. Dunno best place online for them though as picked mine up local.

Averageing roughly 10 -20 sharpens per file ( depending on length of bar) yeah that is a hell of a lot of files to get through , maybe the man that sells the files has said "you can only sharpen your saw once, then you have to throw it away", even then thats a hell of a lot of files
