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

I bet if you call and ask you’ll find out.

Im trying to enable everybody else to buy in bulk. I've enough 23rsp and narrow kerf bars for now.

Lately been spending too much on chains bars n project saws.

Husky is leaving alot of money on the table by not making driver counts to fit other manufacturers' saws, especially Stihl. I'm glad that my 50cc Echoes use the same chains as the 346/550.

Makes a fellow start looking at the oil hole in the bars and doing some bars laid on top of each other.
Will the tail allow a slight trim of length, chain path and so on...
Studying if the oil hole needs to be spot welded shut and a new one made with your handy rotary tool. Don't forget to slip a thin cut off disc in the bar slot after you weld the old oil hole shut. Make sure nothing is blocking the chain now.

Saturdays in a small machine shop. If we were already in the shop on something that allowed a guy to step away a moment. Sometimes we might do some small stuff and tell a guy to go get us some good donuts for it.
A bit steep to have written up and charged for, but sometimes just a good attitude went a long way.
Sometimes little things were just a bit of practice and some more experience for us.

Holy sht does that 23rs pro cut GOOD!

Saw is a cs 520. Tunes up burblin rich at 14,200 rpm no-load and burble cleans up in the cut.

Saw is 11 lbs 4 oz dry powerhead only. 13 lbs 4 oz with the narrow kerf bar n chain.

It really is the sht! Keep it out of the dirt and you will be surprised how durable it is.

In .325 23 rs pro is my go to. But my local Stihl shop was on back order.
So I bought 2 loops of sp 33 from the husky dealer, I didn’t specify full chisel but I should have.
I won’t be buying any more of it, 3 tanks in and I like nothing about it.
Slow and rough cutting, exactly the opposite of what I want picking through tops for firewood

How much is RS pro better than RS.

Im too new to 23rs pro to compare the two, but the cutters will easily take the same 5/32" file that i use on pmx 3/8 lp ripping chain.

Nice to be back in the 50 cc saws! Trying to get this btch-ass, frail 4910 to cut with a brick sht house cs 520 or cs 530. Gonna be a bit of grinding.

Interesting. Even though it cut a little faster, I'd swap the couple loops of RS pro I have even up for SP33 any day of the week, especially for picking through dirty hardwood tops.

I don’t know how to quantify it, but it is noticeably faster…The easiest way to identify pro is the shape of the raker.

 

[Hoser]

I went back and swapped my still new loop of sp33 for whatever they call full chisel.
Looks nice, no safety raker, probably give it a try tomorrow night.
Lions fan- the tops I'm working aren’t bad for dirt and crap, all cut with a processor in the winter.
I can’t remember the last time I saw Stihl Rs, just pro and RM
