Try a new H30 . . . Package stamped.Made in Norway.

Checked the Husqvarna chains at Lowe's today. They were labeled 'Made in Canada', 'Made in USA', or ' ' (no country of origin listed). Yours must be newer stock.

Each package was also marked with the Oregon equivalents: '91PX', '95VP', or '72V'. Curious: do they still do this on the Made in Norway chain?

Thanks!

The combo Bar and Chain said Made in Norway. The last Husqvarna bar I purchased also was printed made in Norway.

Now I was wondering if anyone uses oregon 20LPX .325 chain and what bars work best with this full chisel chain

Regular .325 bars in .050, not narrow kerf/pixel ones.

That said, the chain will work with the NK bars on many saws, but far from on all. It is not a flaw with anything when it doesn't work, as the items aren't meant to work together.
When it doesn't work, the reason is that the thinner bar isn't making enough space between the inner and the outer bar "plates" where the chain runs. If you are stubborn enough, you can remedy this by using thin spacers around the bar bolts - inside and/or outside of the bar....

Husqvarna H30 pixel is as close as you will get to a narrow kerf Chisel. Don't get the Oregon crap.

H30 is 95VP or 95VPX, depending on how old it is - unless a change has happened very recently.

It is definitely not chisel, just a narrow cornered variant of semi-chisel.

He would like to find out if anyone makes .325 Narrow kerf full Chisel Saw Chain.

The answer still is NO, sadly.

Lots of Husky bars are made in Norway, but no chains.

The new Husky chain factory first was rumored to be co-located with the bar factory in Norway, and then Husky stated it would be in Sweden. So far I have seen zero signs of any output from it.

Thanks was only looking at the package.

I figured that, there was nothing wrong with your statement - but it was possible to misread it.

They should invite you over for a tour, as an honored guest and respected authority!

No chisel that I know of. But Oregon is replacing their 95VPX chain (.325 pitch, .050 gauge, narrow kerf) with 95TXL that they claim is more aggressive:

Has anyone got any feedback on the new 95TXL CHAIN

I posted some in 'another' forum. Tried it side-by-side with 95VP and Carlton NK - did not see any significant, noticeable differences bucking a few different species of wood, in a few different diameters. One Oregon rep says that it is better in bias (angled) cuts, such as when making a face cut.

Husky just started making their own chain in Sweden - but so far it is only one model, the SP33, that replaces the H30/95VPX.

This means there now there are two new .325 NK chains out there, both replacing the 95VPX.

Philbert · Sep 11, 2016

Or at least trying. . .

Just to be complete, Carlton and Tr-Link also make .325 narrow kerf chains.

I don’t know much of nothin about chains other than the types I dislike ( stihl green ). But I have the sp33 on my 550xp and like it quite a bit.
If that helps anyone
