That's why I bench grind most of the time, would sometimes file too hard on right side and not enough on the left, causing it to cut at an angle.

Depends on what side the chain cuts, I like my bar on the ground side, hate cutting with it on the top side, but I've cut some that i had to because of the size of the tree. Then you run into the problem it cutting up instead of down towards the ground. Be good for cutting a notch. [emoji51]Aren't angle cutting chains for leaning trees?
What file guide are you using? Husqvarna roller guide is my favorite guide so far I've tried.I use a file guide, I do not believe it could be the file guide as it does it only on the left side. But I have known to be wrong before.

I agree.I'm not a fan of that style because you have to keep rotating the file in the holder to keep the file cutting evenly. If you have a dull spot where the top edge of the tooth contacts, it won't sharpen there.
It is simple, and works with most chains (not all file guides do) of the correct pitch. It holds the file at the recommended depth. and helps the user guide it at the correct top plate angle and 'down angle' (should be 0° only with this guide).I like the the Oregon guide.

The Pferd / STIHL 2-in-1 file guides work with standard chains, but not skip-tooth. They are convenient if you are satisfied with their default depth gauge settings.
The Husqvarna roller guide works with many chains, but not all.
The Granberg style, clamp-on guides provide the most control, allows choice of almost any angles, and work with all chains, but take a little bit of set up.
Since each guide profiles the cutters a little differently, it is best to choose one and stick with it, unless you like to experiment with them (like me).

Unfortunately I never had the time to get picks but yes the sprocket was wore plum out. It even had a stress Crack in it.

Also I am noticing around the 2/3 Mark I get a broken master link and must install a new one.
Put up pics of your cutters and one of your sprocket teeth.
Well this sprocket is on its 2nd roll of chain. So the chain that is on my saw now is pretty new still.
Will that matter?
