Hi all, I always run 4 or 5 tanks of gas through my 291 before I start sharpening a new chain, then I file after every tank or two. Just curious as to how soon everyone else starts to sharpen a new chain. I use rapid super's.

It depends on the wood. Sometimes it is a couple of tanks or a couple of seconds. As SOON as it quits throwing chips I break out the file. It is so much easier on me and more important the saw. A dull chain puts stress on a lot of saw parts.
