Has anyone tried any of the factory square ground Husqvarna chain? I didn't even know it existed until this morning:

I’ve used this before, but not the X-cut it works decent, it’s square skip , https://www.ebay.com/itm/2043412898...lx6FfZ4S9a&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

If they offered it in standard sequence, I might order a roll to give it a try. Being they only have it in skip, I thought I might try a 114dl loop and see how it does.

That'd be nice for 115DL & 156DL!

They have also released a chisel .325 chain now, called C33 in 1.3mm and C35 in 1.5mm

You sharpened a loop of that for me 18 months ago. Worked great until it came off the bar in a chain throwing incident and 6+ drive links are damaged beyond repair. It was a 28“ loop and i‘d like to see if I could take those out and make it 25“. H83 was their number for it.

I guess I never realized that it was Husqvarna x-cut chain

No, my bad. Just looked. Oregon style tie straps and H82 is the number. My apologies!

Have not tried thier factory square but C85 filed square is the peak of clean wood chains for me.

I'll die on this hill - Husky chain is the best stuff out there now. I have had quality issues with Stihl and Oregon lately while the husky chains just work from new untill the end. I just need to them to start making 404

Husqvarna made the right move a couple years ago, with X-cut and started making there own chain in Sweden ,

I've been running the C83 Full Chisel a little while now. I like the chain but it doesn't seem very durable with my "big" saw.
I've sheared off a few cutters in dry standing White ash and Rock Maple.
The teeth were ground down to about 1/2 original length and the "big" saw is a monkeyed 500i with a 7 pin.
It did fine with a monkeyed Stihl 440. The 500 must be a little too zippy.

Any photos of your teeth/depths?

Aww mannnn, I should have thought of taking some pictures... I tossed the chain in my metal recycling bin for the chopper.
I'll go out and look now to see if I still have it.
Stuck at home with covid for a few days.

Edit: Just looked. Bin is almost empty. I must have recycled after I tossed it in there.
I've been more careful to run the sharpened X-cut in softer wood.
If It happens again...I'll get some pics.
