Byane 18-inch .325 pitch chainsaw chain — .063 gauge, 68 drive links, low-kickback, heat-treated chrome

This replacement chain from BYANE uses vacuum heat treatment and Japanese hard chrome plating to improve edge retention and wear resistance. It’s manufactured with automated quality controls to keep tolerances tight so the chain runs smoothly on compatible bars and sprockets. The low-kickback design and ANSI-level safety features aim to reduce chatter and help keep cutting predictable in regular yard and jobsite tasks.

Will this chain fit my Stihl MS 250 or MS 251?

Yes — the chain is built to match the common specs used by many Stihl models and OEM equivalents. Check your saw’s manual or the existing chain for pitch, gauge, and drive link count to confirm compatibility.

• Chain specs: 18-inch length, .325" pitch, .063" (1.6 mm) gauge, 68 drive links.
• Common compatible models: Stihl 025, MS 250, MS 251 and OEM 26RS68 designs.
• Works with bars and sprockets sized for .325" pitch and .063" gauge chains.

How does the BYANE chain improve cutting and longevity?

Manufacturing advances give this chain a sharper, longer-lasting cutting edge compared with untreated alternatives. Vacuum heat treatment hardens key components while Japanese industrial hard chrome plating reduces wear on cutters and helps maintain sharper teeth over more hours of use.

• Heat-treated cutters for stronger edge retention under load.
• Industrial chrome plating to lower abrasion and extend service life.
• Consistent factory tolerances to reduce vibration and improve contact with the bar.

Is the chain safe and easy to maintain?

The design incorporates lower kickback profiles and adheres to standard safety expectations, making routine cutting safer when combined with proper operator technique and protective gear. The chain also benefits from common lubrication systems and straightforward file/sharpen cycles for maintenance.

• Low-kickback cutter profiles help reduce sudden upward forces.
• Packaged individually with labels for tidy storage and tracking.
• Compatible with standard chain sharpening and bar lubrication practices.

What should I know about installation and performance on the job?

Installation is the same as other .325"/.063" chains: match drive link count, seat the chain on the bar and sprocket, then tension to the manufacturer’s spec. Once installed and lubed, expect steady cutting in pruning, firewood work, and general property maintenance; performance benefits are most noticeable with frequent use and proper maintenance.

• Follow saw maker’s tension and torque recommendations when mounting the chain.
• Run with a clean bar groove and correct chain oil for best results.
• Resharpen or replace when cutters no longer cleanly bite wood or when damage is present.

Who is this for: The BYANE 18" .325" .063" 68-drive chain is aimed at homeowners and professional users who need a reliable replacement chain for mid-sized gas chainsaws like Stihl MS250/MS251. It’s a good option for those who want improved wear resistance and a consistent cutting edge without changing their saw’s original bar or sprocket setup. Ideal for routine limbing, cutting firewood, and general property maintenance when paired with correct installation and regular sharpening.
