Chains should be sharpened every time you use them.

Debatable.

Taking them to a pro after several sharpenings might make sense.

Or use some sort of a jig so as to correct any cumulative filing errors.

The right size round file will get it done in about five minutes.

Rocks and dirt are basically an instant death sentence--avoid like the
Plague and you'll likely get at least a couple hours worth of productive
cutting time between touch-ups.

Here's the jig:

Oregon has something similar, patents have long run out.


Yup that's the one.

I can usually easily get 5 or so touch-up filings off-hand but for some
reason I've always tended to file one side just a tad bit off-angle and so
every now and then need to use the jig get things back in the zone.
