Saw Chain
Chain Cutter Types
Full Chisel Chain
• Features squared, sharply pointed cutters that cut wood aggressively
• Great for professionals as the cutters allow the chain to move through wood quickly, but tends to dull
quicker
• Best used on cutting hardwoods where smooth cuts aren’t necessary, like cutting firewood or
downed trees
Semi-Chisel Chain
• Features rounded cutters
• Great for professionals and homeowners as the cutting edges dull more slowly when exposed to dirt
and debris
• Best used on softer, frozen, dirty, or dry woods
Low Profile Chain
• Features rounded cutters and is designed specifically with safety in mind, but does require more
sharpening than other types
• Great for beginners with low-horsepower chainsaws and electric chainsaws
• Best for pruning trees and cutting smaller logs
Oregon Chain Families
AdvanceCut
• Perfect for homeowners or landscapers who occasionally need to cut trees

day
