.325 chain, LGX, LPX or X-CUT?

[Joe Kidd]

What's the cats meow on 325 chain these days? Stihl is to dang high and I've used LGX & LPX. Both seem to be reasonably fast.
That leaves the X-CUT to try, but it's got a high bumper in the SP33 but not in their 3/8" pitch.

X-Cut C33 , if you don’t like RS PRO, but what’s not to like, similar pricing.Supposedly beat PRO at Saw Fest in 50cc class

 

[Joe Kidd]

C33 is only 3/8" right? The SP33 has the high bumper in 325, if I'm reading the website correctly.
*edit* sorry, I see the C33 now.

It’s out of stock right now but, keep your eyes peeled on eBay for the Stihl rs-pro. I’ve been regularly buying it on there for about 40% off dealer prices from this seller:

I was just looking at that and wondering if it’s worth taking a chance. eBay usually heavily favors the buyer in disputes.

Maybe this , shipping kinda kills it, but nobody offers free shipping,that I can find. https://www.rcpw.com/husqvarna-5856...7O9bEMa4oOFAc9P2x1wzkKL9pOblYb-1EJvw_VKQ-x9aw I think because it’s kinda new , it’s not offered, and limited.

He sure is… His name is Randy Hatcher. I’ve had a few good deals with him so far.

You can always reshape the depth gauge/bumper to eliminate some of the anti-kickback aspect.

I can get the 23rs pro 72 dl Here in Europe for 22 Bucks

I have also the c33 full chisel .325 here. But It sits ON the shelf

Wonder why if it's the latest and greatest Husky chain?

 

[Woodwater]

It's a good chain but the 23rs pro is narrow and faster.

Pretty much, sums it up.

 

[Motorka]

So is C33 faster, better than RS ? Is C33 narrow kerf ?

I take the pedestal grinder to mine right out of the box. Takes about 15 minutes or a half a beer if you're counting for an 80dl chain.
