I sharpen mine until the tooth gets so thin it starts to bend then they get junked.
Same here keep going until there's very little metal left and they start bending and breaking that usually happens a few sharpenings after you reach the etched angle markers.
My other tip is to keep the timber clean in the first place, limbs that have been dragged through the dirt pick up abrasive material that dulls the chain.
If cutting on the fllor i tend to cut half way through roll over and cut the other half to keep the saw up of the deck
This is for stuff thats to big to lift up
Another trick when felling is that the moss is only on one side of a tree usually
So if you can use the saw in such a way as its dragging the clean wood through the cut and the dirty stuff get thrown straight out
This way the grit and dirt arnt dragged through the cut minimising the amount of wear it causes
chinese = ok dolmar =getting close to needing replaced "it will be obvious"query here when do you actually change your chain or when do you know when to change your chain
ive used chainsaws before just not to a stage when to change the chain or the chains blunted
