Husqvarna X-Cut Designing a better saw chain

HTML https://youtu.be/ruWMOI70atA
For the first time, there are original Husqvarna saw chains, and
they are made where it all once started – in Huskvarna, Sweden.
Why, you might wonder. Well, the story actually starts at the
end. Through all our research and development, making your
output the highest possible has been the overarching goal.
For decades, Husqvarna has been one of the world’s most
respected chainsaw brands. There is no simple explanation as to
why that is. But a major key to the brand’s success has always
been the constant focus on the user’s output. Anyone picking up
a Husqvarna chainsaw should be able to count on getting the best
possible returns.
“Manufacturing our own saw chains is not something we have
embarked on just for fun, or because we felt like it,” Lead
Engineer Hans-Åke Sundberg says, rather seriously. “Through all
the years, we have never stopped improving our users’ experience
and output. The cutting equipment plays an extremely important
role in that.”
More than just high quality
The dream of an original Husqvarna saw chain has been with us
for a long time,” Global Product Manager Mattias Karlsson adds.
“Making it a reality, however, has taken a huge amount of
planning, research and strategic thinking. There’s no trial and
error in a Husqvarna product launch.”
Naturally, the Husqvarna saw chains had to meet the high quality
of the Husqvarna chainsaws. But for most users, Husqvarna stands
for more than just robustness and performance – it’s about
trust.
“You must be able to trust that the machine you have invested in
will give you the highest efficiency and the best results,”
Karlsson continued. “Living up to those expectations requires
considerable commitment from the manufacturer.”
At the heart of Husqvarna
The saw chain factory was built from scratch over the course of
several years. Its strategic location, right beside the original
chainsaw factory in Huskvarna, Sweden, underlines its importance
– it is right at the heart of the brand.
Inside this advanced and modern saw chain factory, there is a
rich variety of complex machinery, winding production lines and
elaborate processes. Not one part of the saw chain comes ready
from any supplier – it’s all made here, from raw steel to
finished product. In addition to the factory, Husqvarna realized
that they also had to build an adjacent little sawmill to be
able to continuously test prototypes.

Developed backwards
“The single most important part of a logger’s every day is the
cubic meter output,” said Sundberg. “We worked backwards from
there. We identified the right product features, the right
manufacturing, the right materials, the right competence, and
the right mindset for a long-term venture into a new field.”
The X-Cut saw chain has been tested and fine-tuned for about two
years now. Following classic Husqvarna procedures, a combination
of lab tests and test runs in different environments has been
crucial for perfecting its features, refining its design and
ensuring its quality.
Ready for action
So, from the end to the beginning and back to the end, we have
finally arrived. After years of planning, research, development,
testing, collaboration with loggers, and some more testing, the
first Husqvarna saw chain is ready to be mounted on your
chainsaw. It’s ready for hard, uninterrupted work, ready to give
you maximum efficiency and output – ready when you are.

The first impression of the 572XP is that the saw definitely
will be a good inheritor to the legendary Husqvarna 372XP. This
is with a reservation – it has to be used with the new full
chisel saw chain, X-cut C85.
This is a newly developed chain from Husqvarna, in their own
factory in, yep, Husqvarna, Sweden.
When we tested the chainsaw with the C85 X-cut chain we saw an
increased cutting power and a smoother cut, just like with the
first X-cut saw chain, Sp33G (0,325, 1,3mm).
C85 is a full chisel 3/8 saw chain with a 1,5mm gauge that comes
pre-stretched and sharp from the factory.

Kevin, yes I like the looks of that chain . They have a winner
there.
As I told the guys last night over on OPE they built a chain
that will cut like a normal chain that's filed half ways back
just ahead of the rear rivet, right out off the roll.
Whole cutter bit is moved rearward allowing a big gullet and a
nice looking depth gauge. Rivets are flattened for the narrower
kerf. I'd like to see the top of the chain.
Still retained the Vibe-Ban design they had with the rebranded
Oregon, but swapped out the LubriLink for the Stihl Oil O Matic.
Still a little LubriLink design on the top corners of the side
links without the cavity behind.

So have you compared it to 325 LPX?

So for us backwoods woodchucks that can't keep the bar out of
the dirt, we might as well pass on the 572XP and keep our ol'
372XPs with some semi-chisel? ;D
I admire them for trying to advance saw chain technology, but
wonder why they chose full chisel over semi for their new
design. Isn't semi the bulk of the market?
That also begs the question. Is Husqvarna attempting to move
away from Oregon sourced chain [and bars] ? Being as they own so
many brands and for the most part they come with Oregon
rebranded bars and chain, will we see layoffs, closings or
consolidation at Blount? Could this see Carlton be squeezed out?

Full chisel is king around here. Just like any saw run whatever
chain you use IMHO
I do question who and why someone would say it has to be used
with C85 though :D :D
