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

[Joe Kidd]

My two C33 loops arrived today. After the first round file, does it just become 23RSC? At nearly $30ea from Husky, it'll have to be more widely available and priced cheaper too.

Kind looks like a .325 version of C83 , two different filings , to create the profile.

I'd try Duke's. I like his 3/8".


Also I have a 66DL bar and one or two chains I don't want.

Look's like a similar tooth profile as the C83. Is that a chinese chain?

Yes , for the price it’s worth it, and seems pretty good,

Just give it a normal round filing or grind and it will perform great.
No need to try replicate the factory grind.

I bought two 100' rolls of the Dukes chain in 3/8 fc-fc. It was around $237 a 100ft roll to my door.

Or file it with a raker file. No need for a round file. ;-D

Another vote here for the Dukes chain. The loops I’ve used so far have been very good. Nice hard cutters seems pretty durable.

Some Chinese lady on bookface sent me some of her Chinese chain to try

Not as good

I’d put the dukes with at least Oregon and maybe even stihl. Need more testing….have a lot of FW to cut this winter.

Speaking of chains, on a side note......who's tried the WCS progressive depth gauge? I've got two incoming to try. Guess I'm a sucker for new chit.
Some of these have a little more flexibility for setting lower rakers in soft wood.
