If you take your chains to a shop to be sharpened you'll likely get no more than 3 or 4 sharpenings from a chain before it's junk.

If you wait until the chain us flat out hammered, I agree. Otherwise no. I have loops I've sharpened easily a dozen times and are still good.
I will let you know after I cut 20 cord with .404 [emoji106][emoji3]Wear on the cutter heel may be related to chain tension.

This ^ right here.I used to have a "pro" sharpen my chains until I realized how bad a job they were doing. I use a Timberline. Very easy, very good, within 99% of new.
I think you are right about the good shop thing. If there was one near me, I would probably use them. That is not the case, so ya just gotta do it yourself.
