As metioned here make sure you are Not filing against the chromed bits and dont drag the file backwards over the work and your file will last a Verry long time
When using a grinder on ANY cutting surface Chisel's, knives, axes, chainsaws etc. there is always a real danger of annealing the metal and ruining the cutting edge forever.
Use a file regulary and your chansaw AND your back will be forever grateful because there is nothing worse than trying to hack away with a blunt chainsaw.
Files from Bunnings wouldn't mark the teeth.
Tried a known brand with the same result.
Maybe I'll just buy the cheap chains because they cut OK.
