I have used the 20 nk from woodland pro and the 95vpx from Oregon and they both work fine.

Would that be a oregon Bar or some other brand ive got the the 95vpx chain and bars sorted now I just want to try the 20LPX
Any bars are fine but 20lpx is not a safety chain as 95vpx is

I run the 20 lpx, and the 23rs on my 346, 2252, and 550. Two of the saws have husky pixel bars and one of mine has a laser laminate bar.

But you can run Standard .325 .050 chain on a narrow kerf bar. But you can't run narrow kerf chain on a standard bar. The narrow kerf Chain won't cut efficiently.

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

H30 and Oregon 95VP came from the same factories (until fairly recently)

Standard chain on narrow kerf bars can lead to binding between the clutch cover and body on some saws. Chain tie straps are also not fully supported. You can run it on some saws. But you also lose the narrow kerf advantage.

It's the recently part I'm talking about. Try a new H30 you won't be disappointed. I own a Elux Pioneer Partner and tried the Pixel 72 combo. Package stamped.Made in Norway.
