Can I sharpen it myself?

Yes. The Chamfer Chisel cutters are made to be filed by hand with the correct round file and guide.

Is it good for professional work?

Our take on the Oregon 16 in. Chainsaw Bar & R56 Chain

This is a replacement 16-inch guide bar and R56 chain set for homeowner and occasional-use saws. The chain is 3/8-inch low profile, .043-inch gauge, 56 drive links, with Chamfer Chisel cutters and a low-kickback, low-vibration design. It fits many Echo, Craftsman, Poulan, Homelite, Husqvarna and Ryobi saws that run that bar and chain spec. Compared with stock safety chains, the Chamfer Chisel cutter holds an edge longer and sharpens easily, though it is not a pro-grade full-chisel setup.
