I`ve been through the electric chain grinder ordeal. I went back to hand file. Couple 2 or 3 strokes with a file, i`m back in the cut. (file the gauge maybe every 3 to 4 sharpening's) I get much better results with a file, and my chains stay sharper longer, chains last longer, and its far faster with a file because i don`t need to take the chain off the bar to touch it up.
