Default Chainsaw blade sharpened?

My last saw, the chains were 59 or 60 links, but the general concept is
there. Much faster to do your own touchup, compared to drive to the store.

A chain already in good condition, but not sharp, is sharpened
by 5 to 10 strokes on each tooth (say 15 seconds per tooth)
x say 30 teeth = less than 10 min. A file and angle guide cost
about $12 and fit in your pocket so you can sharpen at lunchtime
when out in the bush (or any time you encounter dense, blunting
timber, or a tree so dangerous as to deserve a quick precise cut.)
