Teach me Obiwan....I have two chains, I sharpen them on the saw with my Oregon sharpener..Why should I have 10 chains? Still learning and curious what I am missing.
Stihl chains are much harder steel,, that's all I buy. Hit a little grit under the bark with the oregon chain and your sharpening,,, with the stihl chain your "stihl"cutting! No doubt! I buy a chain every 2 years if that cutting 5-10 cords. I sharpen buy hand , using dial calipers once in a while to even things,, taking off .015- .030 each time I sharpen, not a .125 (1/8th inch) or more with a power grinder...
