Stihl Rapid Hexa in .325

[el33t]

If anyone is interested, Stihl should be releasing .325 Rapid Hexa (RH & RH3) in some time.
This information comes, as did the Picco Hexa information earlier, from a chart update for Stihl USG grinder.
According to it, the grinding wheel, unlike Picco Hexa, will be the same as for 3/8 Rapid Hexa. P/N 5203 750 7018.
I'm not sure yet if that also means the same file for 3/8 and .325.

Looks like they are really going all in on this idea now.

Not sure about other parts of the world but they have started pushing Hexa again here. They are offering the 3/8 hexa with a 20% discount compared to RS and have more promotional stuff at the dealers.

The real question is, what have they got wrong in the NSW USG chart this time? They always change something

Well, they duplicated 25° as the angle of setting on the A scale, as expected...

Proof of their diligence is the seventh column. There is information about the radii of the profiles of the grinding wheels used to sharpen the cutters. There is also information about the angle of the profile of the wheel used for grinding the depth gauges. This angle is denoted by them by the (Greek) letter α. In the latest version, instead of the letter α, there is the letter á in the lines for different types of chains.
This came about, of course, because someone used an 8-bit code page, and since the two letters in this case require the use of two different code pages, such as ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-7, α was rendered in the finished document as á, because the (binary) code for these letters in both code pages is the same: hexadecimal E1.

In my workplace, I would have to be in an incredible hurry to miss this and allow something like this to go into production.

Yeah, what you said.

Do you know when 23RH will enter the marked?

Unfortunately, I don't know when. It looks as if the launch will probably not be simultaneous with Picco Hexa, as information about the PH3 is already in some catalogs, price lists and websites. On the other hand, I haven't seen any information about the .325 Hexa anywhere yet.
PS
Perhaps it will be introduced along with the MSA 300.1, which I don't think has been announced yet either. Although I guess the 'rescue' version is already on the websites and if I'm not mistaken it is 300.1 (“2.9 kW” vs. “2.5 kW”).
