Huh? I've milled a ton and I couldn't disagree more.
Milling builds tons of heat. When I was doing it frequently, I'd have to soak-clean-dry-sharpen-lube, rinse/repeat often. Wood was typically still wet and it would bake on. Tree 90 fo was never stingy with erl either. Can't find any pics and can't remember taking any of the chains when they looked like that. I'll keep looking.

if all your sharpening is for your self- what ever trips your trigger. For me, as i do this for a living, what goes out the door has to lookand preform close to new or better. I sharpen / repair chains for industry as well as the homeowner. It is not all I do , but some months it sure seems like it.

Let me know if you ever spend over $100 for a sharpening wheel.
