Skip is quicker to sharpen......but you have to sharpen more often.Practice doing it by hand.
IMO,
Unless you are doing this for a living and are sharpening a TON of chains daily...... just do it by hand.
Chain “generally” will last longer because you can get away with taking less off. If you want to, run a skip chain. Less sharpening

Also, what really helped me learn how to sharpen is the Husky guide. Pretty hard to not file correctly with it. It also has the raker gauge with it. Raker height is very important as well as sharpness. You can make a good cutting chain with the guide and raker gauge without really knowing how to sharpen. If you get one and need help with understanding how to use it feel free to PM me. Took me a bit to figure it out and youtube wasnt all that helpful

Has your wife seen her coffee table yet?
Ditto hahaMy wife is always complaining about my vices too......
Drinking, for one....
My bench top is 3" by 24" by 7', Red Oak. That bugger was heavy getting up on the ends. You can beat the devil out of it.Just, either one of my vices, would squash that table. My vices are lagged onto a 3" X 12" X 2 1/2' piece of oak and through bolted onto my work benches.
The oak is nice as the vice won't move and bolts screw up the bench, and you can put things on the oak, and beat the crap out of it not hurting bench. I'll try to get some pictures....

the gullet is the space between the cutter & the raker, it has nothing to do with the sharp cutter, it just needs to be cleaned out.So,how important is the edge of the gullet or do I just need a good hook?
