Xcut is the name of their new chain. It’s not yet available in all sizes.Not to hijack, but can you run a X-Cut chain on a regular Husky or Jonsered bar, or do you have to use a X-Force bar as well?
Thanks, NYH1.
Wasn't sure if you needed to use both together, thanks.Xcut is the name of their new chain. It’s not yet available in all sizes.
X force is just the name of the bar. Nothing to do with the chain

X cut is supposed to be really good. Haven’t used the full chisel stuff, myself.huskihl, a few other questions.
Are the new X-Cut chains better than the older Husky/Jonsered/Oregon chains? Same question for the new X-Force bars, are they better than the older Husky/Jonsered/Oregon bars?
Thanks, NYH1.
Ok, thanks again my friend.X cut is supposed to be really good. Haven’t used the full chisel stuff, myself.
Don’t know anything about xforce bars
If the X-cut chain specs are the same as Your bars specs it will fit!Not to hijack, but can you run a X-Cut chain on a regular Husky or Jonsered bar, or do you have to use a X-Force bar as well?

Yeah, my son got a X-Cut C85 chain (18", 3/8, .058") for his CS 2258 to put on a new regular Husky bar. Works great.If the X-cut chain specs are the same as Your bars specs it will fit!
I have a .325" X-Cut chain, nothing special about it and it fits my .325" Dolmar bar.

I think the chin is better. Hand files nice. The new bars tips are much better.
I like it straight out of the box & it’s very smooth, must say though, it comes somewhat more like a cross between square filed chain, of which to me i no longer do, so there is some loss when round files are used, a dozen round Vallorbe files is cheaper than one for square filing in price, and they are harder to find and I’m not racing, a proper square file on it would be interesting to see. Still a great chain, love it but about 20-25% more expensive in Aus’ I usually use Oregon or Carlton full chisel skip tooth, but it’s the next choice. If you haven’t run one I say try it and make your own decision I feel you will be impressed. Stay sharphuskihl, a few other questions.

Kevin I ran a brand new out of the box c83 chain on the xs 572xpg at the Wisco gtg this last Saturday . You were there watching the log racing so that's what it cuts like out of the box . @sledneck22 who did a awesome job of making a video of the gtg ran the chain when we switched saws . Kyle only made two cuts with the chain but might give any thoughts on the x-cut chain .X cut is supposed to be really good. Haven’t used the full chisel stuff, myself.

I thought the chain self fed really well, zero chatter, and cut like hell. Nice even chips too. I might be interested when they’re more readily available in my area.Kevin I ran a brand new out of the box c83 chain on the xs 572xpg at the Wisco gtg this last Saturday .

Looked like it was cruising right along against that 7900. Wood was pretty solid as wellKevin I ran a brand new out of the box c83 chain on the xs 572xpg at the Wisco gtg this last Saturday .
