I just picked up a couple of Husqvarna H82 loops from a local shop to get me by until I get a new roll in to my shop. First time I touched them up in the field with a round file I noticed that most cutters were normal metal and the file smoothly went through them, but about 5-7 of them were hard to sharpen. The file just skidded off the face of the cutter, somewhat like when a file gets clogged with metal filings. However, I would make sure the file was clear and try again with the same challenges. The file would do just fine on another cutter. I would describe it as if the metal of the cutter has chunks of different hardness.
Just thought I would ask to see if this was unique or if this is an issue in other areas.
Thanks
P.S. Just read that someone noticed a similar issue with Oregon chain. Hmmm
