I used to use a Dremel tool w/ 30deg to do my chains, but just got one of the Stihl sharpeners. Same difference I guess. Haven't tried the hand-filing stuff yet.

5 chains for my 011, 5 for my 028, and only 2 right now for the 361, and they're both RMC3 I beleive. I'm lookin to pick up some plain RM chains for it though. The two older saws seem to need the chains sharpened all the friggin time, but the new chain on the 361 is cruisin pretty nicely.

Thanks for the info on storing chains! I'll be adopting some of that soon here.

I understand what skip chains are, but how do they affect performance?
