I've been cutting for a little over a year now, and I just CANNOT hand file a chain right! Lately I've been free handing my chains, and they are VERY sharp, but the top plates are getting too long on the left side, and they're chipping! I've been filing at 25°, and matching my file to the...

Here's pics of my situation. It's leaning and limb weighted in the direction it needs to go down. Only concerns are: 1. Too far clockwise (CW) and we might lose gate posts and maybe some wire fence (no big deal). 2. Too far counter CW (CCW) and it gets into the two story garage. (BIG DEAL) 3...
