Hand-Filing Husqvarna X-Cut Chain

[mainer_in_ak]

That’s what I loved about lgx. Filings would roll off that stuff even if you had a slightly dinged tooth several strokes it was back in business and held up pretty good for me

Jake, yep yer right on the money. C83 sharpens nice like lgx 3/8. I got a loop of LGX $30 for 36" bar, free shipping. Plunged a 36" bar into a heavy leaning 32" diameter cottonwood, ported cs 8000. Wasnt jumpy in such a longe plunge cut. Didn't even have to twist the handlebar, was smooth as fk. This saw, the AV is too hard, so I know real fast if the chain isn't smooth.

Dropped 3 more bout that size, then went dull. Winblown glacial silt in that shaggy bark. SMOOTH chain. Folks have forgotten about lgx 3/8.

I totally get it. That “Wow!” factor is big, when they realize they don’t have to push on the saw for it to cut. Just today I was one handing my 462 in the cut (to briefly brush away chips) and my saw just continued to pull itself through the wood while staying in the working load rpm. If the chain won’t pull itself through, it needs attention. I’ll get off my soap box now.

Simply yes, if ya leaning on dogs sharpen it

Wow!!!
You suck Mister.

That is a great deal on bar & chain!

Dolmar 099, no one wants it - I buy any length loops whenever I find a deal on them.
They are full chisel full complement 3/8" Oregon L-something-X.
