newbie question

[Lugnutz]

Ok I just started cutting on a regular basis this fall and before I had never even went to my back up chain that came with the saw. Now I'm using it enuff that I need to sharpen ( my dad has an electric and does the work for me ) my chain more often. I've seen the rigs that clamp to your bar so you can work on the chain in the field. I was interested in something like that, I think you can get a better job done with a file over the electric set up. Are those clamp on rigs worth anything?

Second question: On Oregon's website it gives the angles and file sizes needed for their different chains. I've been looking at Woodland Pro chains and I have yet to see a guide for sharpening their chains. Does one exist or should I get the settings off of a new chain before I ever put it on the saw?

Thanks for your patience
