C83/85 x-cut guides.

[Joseph W Santora]

Are the Husky roller guides for the c83 and c85 x-cut chains any different than their older 3/8 roller guides?

I have a roller guide for the .325 LG that has metal rollers. Not sure it is Husky, says Nordtec Sweden. The current ones have plastic like roller parts. They index off the top of the tie straps. Whether that chain will hold the file higher or lower perhaps someone else knows. There is a hardware store nearby that had files in 1/64" increments. 20% above for right size, estimate ?

Husky offers a different roller guide for the C85 chain than for the previous H48 chains. The new one is silver with blue rollers versus blue for H48

I don’t know what the difference is. I think the recommended tooth angle might be 5 degrees different . I’ve filed 2 C85 chains down to the lines using the older blue guide, and they have cut well.

I picked up a new guide today when buying more loops. Have not taken it out of the package yet.

Recommended angles for C85 are all slightly different from H48

Could be Canadian part numbers are different. We have French on the packaging.
