I had a hell of a time the first few attempts at sharpening a chain. I'd be throwing fine sawdust instead of chips and I'd go in and try to sharpen the chain. When I was done, I'd still be throwing sawdust. Then one day it just snapped in. I don't know what I did different, but it worked. I haven't had a problem since.
