Can anyone tell me if you can buy factory made square ground chain in .058 gage. Looking through bailey.s I see they only carry it in .050 and .063. oregon brand. Thanks Rick!
 
I run 73LG. It's round ground out of the box, but it only takes a few passes on the Silvey to convert it to square, then you're good to go for the life of the chain.

There is some effort involved, so if I'm cutting suburban wood with bird feeder screws and hammock chains, then I'll stay with the round ground 73LG. If I have a good idea that the wood is clean, I run the square ground 73LG.

The 73CJX at Bailey's shows to be square ground skip. not what I was looking for. Thanks anyway Grande Dog. I guess the best thing to do is buy a .050 bar for my Husky or learn to make my own out of round ground chain. The Silvey grinder sounds great but being layed off keeps it out of my price range right now. Rick!
