try the PFERD from Bailys 36 bucks it files rakers and teeth in one pass - my friend bought one and I used it last week I ordered 2 one for .325 and one for 3/8 chain
 
My HF chain grinder works great for a $30 investment. Paid for itself 10 times over already!
 
I have the HF one. It works, but it does have some play. I my consider an upgrade, but for now @$30 It will keep me cutting.
 
There was a time when I thought that grinders got my chains sharp... And then I was introduced to the Granberg. Not only do my chains last at least twice as long. But, they start off sharper and hold their edges better as well.
 
Does anyone here use a granberg jig out in the field to sharpen a chain in between filling up the gas and oil? I currently use a hand file every other tank to freshen up the teeth a bit but wouldn't mind getting the chain even sharper. Just curious.
 
I use a hand file for touch up when gassing, the granberg type on slow evenings at home between cutting sessions
 


Here is the vid of the pferd file system. I use them and they are so easy to use. Stihl has their version now. I think its called 2-1 file. A whopping 39 bucks at Bailieys
