My Stihl 025 confusing me.

I have good luck hand filing in the woods, and then fixing the chains with a Granberg jig when I get back. The Granberg is too slow to use when I'm cutting wood, but my hand filing is too bad to not use the Granberg at some point.

I try to go no more than 2-3 hand sharpenings per chains between jig fillings. I am not nearly as good at keeping accurate angles as my brain thinks I am.

Do you use a jig or guide? Or just free hand?

The Granberg is a jig. I freehand when I need to get back to cutting right away, and then fix my horrible mistakes later with the Granberg.

Lots of detail on the Granberg file'n'joint here (linky).
