Not sharpening your own chains is mindboggling to me 11 bones to pay someone to file, plus your time to package them and ship them. I'm sorry but that's insane. Often for me a filing is just a 'tickle' to keep 'er like a razor. I'm not trying to be rude either but I've known how to file a saw...
I've seen people sharpen on their lap like I do before, but I've never seen anyone flip the whole powerhead around to do the lefthand cutters. When I do that side the powerhead is essentially balanced on my knees and the bar sticks back along my side kind of under my arm. That's the weird part...
Round file on my lap, both hands on file. Than I flip the whole saw 180 for the other side of the chain. I've never seen anyone else file a saw the way I do. I tried and tried to learn other ways, but this works for me.
