Well folks it's finally official!
Now we can file out of the box C83/85 XCut style.
Yes I was thinking the exact same thing.Thanks for posting. Very interesting
I bet Stihl will bring out a 2-in-1 sharpener with a hexagonal file for this chain.
Yup any speciality file won't be cheap.Given the price of beveled square chisel files, I don't think these hex shapes ones are gonna be cheap!
Key thing to me was the idea that chains would be shipped with 'improved out-of-box' (OOB) performance that users could not restore. Made no sense to me, unless you throw away your chains after the first use (some do!). I have not used these chains, but assumed that we could match the factory profile with a couple of passes.While I'm not overly excited, it's good that Stihl & Husky are looking to evolve saw chain and how it's ground.
Looks interesting. Easier for newbs to sharpen maybe?
How much adjustability of hook, etc. are we giving up?
