I usually file freehand, but use the Oregon grinder when I've hit a nail or somesuch that requires more taken off the chain.
The Oregon grinder is good. With any grinder, be gentle and take your time to avoid burning the chain and ruining the temper. Sometimes you may need to go around the chain several times to avoid overheating.
