I use a cheap chain grinder to get the tooth lengths back if they get to far out, but as someone said, they need a consistent technique. Sharpen with files and clamp on guide, and gauge for the rakers. Hammer in stump/bar clamp are great in the bush if no suitable vice available..... I turn the tooth face into a banana when trying to sharpen chasing the saw around on the ground. Quick touch up every tank, change chain if I hit a rock or the like.
After using a few different cheap chains, now usually stick with Sthil chains (3/8 LP, .325 & 3/8), lasting longer and I find them easier to sharpen.
