Not to sound mean, but learn to sharpen the chain better. You'll never get it as good as a brand new chain, but cutting with a dull chain is only gonna frustrate you.

I eyeball the bottom cut, then stand the tiki on a true flat surface to check it. If it needs some correction (usually!) I use a planer and/or a grinder, because it's just small amounts that need to be removed.
