Stihl Rapid Hexa file

Thread from Chainsaw Repair group FB
You know all these new X-cut style chains. I even noticed my
Holz chain has this type of look. I guess stihl has a file to
recreate it too.
Seems to copy the husky X-cut profile? Pics from Willard.

Never seen that before but it looks like it would cut pretty
good.

Kevin, thanks for looking into this Hexa file.
I'm a Facebook friend of the guy down under too. I won't bother
messaging him for the part #. It will eventually show up here in
North America. My relatives saw it somewhere in Norway but
couldn't get a # from them.
Looks like a great concept as it works very well on the
Husqvarna X Cut chain. But it appears there is no X Cut file to
maintain it, only through a grinder.
Great cutter profile for Timbersports andveven for a work chain.
Easy as using a round file.
Only thing needed as I can see is a file guide to clamp onto
this hexa file to keep consistency in all the cutters.

Looks like the file only will cut on two sides on the picture?

I found this patent online on some other forums. It seems that
it's even easier to sharpen than with a round file. Looks very
promising.
I'm very curious when this will hit the market. But it looks
like we'll find out soon if there are already chains and files
out there. Maybe some prototypes?

I would not mind getting a hold of some of those files and
trying them out.

Since it been here and others tested too. Sounds like gimmick =
Trev - Spoiler Alert: I've been testing Hexa since January,
stateside. (You just need the right PN.) I can't find any
increase in cut speed outside of the margin of error over
multiple species. I hope I'm wrong, alot of people depend on my
timing abilities. 😕

7 chains tested and shows waste of money.
