Parts of a Chain Cutter
1. Top Plate: The top plate is the uppermost part of the cutter, serving as the primary contact point with the material being cut.
2. Cutting Corner: The cutting corner is the edge or area of the cutter responsible for making the actual cutting action.
3. Slide Plate: The slide plate is a movable part of the cutter that facilitates smooth and controlled cutting motion.
4. Gullet: The gullet is the recessed area between the cutting teeth, which helps in chip removal during cutting.
5. Depth Gauge: The depth gauge controls the amount of material removed during each cutting pass, ensuring precision and accuracy.
6. Heel: The heel of the cutter provides stability and support during the cutting process.
7. Rivet Hole: The rivet hole is the location where the rivet secures different parts of the cutter together.
8. Toe: The front part of the cutter that aids in guiding and positioning during use.
Four Basic Components of Saw Chain
1. Cutter: This is the part of the chain that actually cuts through the wood.
2. Rivet: These are the small metal pieces that hold the chain together.
3. Drive Link: This component transfers the motion and power from the chainsaw to the cutter.
4. Tie Strap: This component helps to keep the chain stable and in place during operation.

Gauge
he chain gauge refers to the thickness of the drive link where it fits into the guide bar groove, and it should match the gauge of the guide bar. Oregon® products offer saw chain gauges of .043", .050", .058", and .063". It may be challenging to accurately measure the chain gauge on a worn chain due to normal wear. - To ensure the correct gauge, always order based on the number stamped on the drive link of your old chain. For more information, please refer to the table below.
Pitch
Chain pitch refers to the size of the chain and is determined by the distance between any three consecutive rivets divided by two. Oregon® chain is available in several pitches - 1/4" is the smallest, 3/8" is the most popular, and 3/4” is the largest. - Pitch is important because the drive sprocket must be the same pitch as the chain, as well as the bar nose sprocket if applicable. To find the pitch of your chain, simply look at the number stamped on the drive link. Please refer to the table below for more information.
Cutter Type
Chain Cutter Types: 1. Chipper2. Semi-Chisel3. Chamfer-Chisel4. Micro-Chisel5. Chisel
Sequence
When it comes to saw chain sequences, there are three main types to consider: standard, semi-skip, and skip. Each type has its own unique application and benefits. The standard sequence is ideal for general-purpose cutting, while the semi-skip and skip sequences are more suitable for applications where chip clearance is a priority, such as cutting larger diameter wood. - Understanding the differences between these sequences can help in selecting the right saw chain for the specific cutting requirements.

Frequently Asked Question
Popular questions about saw chains
A saw chain is used in chainsaws to cut through wood and other materials. It consists of links with sharp teeth that rotate around the guide bar to efficiently slice through various surfaces.
A saw chain works by rotating around a chainsaw’s guide bar. As it moves, the sharp teeth on each link cut into the material. The chain’s speed and teeth design determine cutting efficiency.
Common types of saw chains include low-profile, standard, and full-chisel. Each type is designed for different cutting conditions, such as for softer or harder woods, or for more precise cuts.
To sharpen a saw chain, use a file or a dedicated sharpening tool to sharpen the teeth. Ensure each tooth is sharpened evenly, maintaining the original angle and depth for efficient cutting performance.
Saw chains are typically made from high-carbon steel or hardened alloys to withstand wear and impact. The links include sharp cutting teeth, a drive link, and a rivet for connecting the components.
Replace your saw chain when it shows signs of wear, such as dull teeth that can’t be sharpened, or broken links. Regular inspection is key to maintaining optimal cutting performance and safety.
A saw chain stretches as it wears due to constant tension and cutting pressure. This is a natural result of use, and it’s important to adjust or replace the chain to avoid damaging the chainsaw.
To adjust the tension, loosen the tensioning screw, slide the chain tighter or looser along the bar, and tighten the screw again. Proper tension is crucial for safe and efficient operation.
No, not all saw chains are compatible with every chainsaw. Check the chainsaw’s manufacturer recommendations for chain size, pitch, and gauge to ensure proper fit and performance.
Low-profile chains are designed for safety and reduced kickback, while full-chisel chains offer faster cutting speeds but may produce more kickback. Choose based on cutting speed and safety needs.
