You should make friends with another saw owner who knows how to hand file
chains. They need filing after an hour or so of use. Just part of owning and
using a chain saw. Taking your chain to the shop gets expensive in a hurry.

has anybody tried the self-sharpening kits for chain saw chains? It looks
like some kind of bracket to hold the blade, and a hand file to sharpen it.
I bought a cheap McCulloh chain saw and the chain got dull after only a
couple
hours of use, and i bought a new chain, but this one got duller even faster.
perhaps it's an oil flow problem...dunno.

So i don't know if it should take both chains to a sharpening shop, or if i
should go buy an expensive high quality chain (which brand?), or if I should
buy the hand sharpening kit?

Thx,,,paul
