[QUOTE="TimberPig, post: 321809, member: 5775"] If you use a proper depth gauge tool, and file the cutters properly, it isn't really hard or dangerous to make your chain stay cutting properly. Or as was suggested, get someone else who does know how to sharpen it to do it for you if you are afraid of screwing it up. With the myriad of easily used file guides and depth gauge tools, there really isn't a reason to run dull chain. If you can't do it freehand or are just learning, then get a file guide for your chain, don't pitch perfectly good chains into the garbage before they are worn out. With proper filing, you should be able to file the tooth back until there is almost nothing left and keep it cutting well. [/QUOTE]
