Oregon 18" AdvanceCut Bar & Chain Combo 3/8" Pitch .050" Gauge 62-LK — Low-Vibration, LubriTec Oiling

The Oregon 18" AdvanceCut bar and 62-drive-link chain combo is a ready-to-install replacement designed for 3/8" pitch, .050" gauge saws, delivering low-vibration cutting, LubriTec oiling and a durable multi-rivet nose bar.

This complete guide bar and chain set from Oregon is engineered as a direct-fit spare for many popular chainsaw models and is tuned for users who need dependable performance without complex maintenance. The package pairs a lightweight, long-lasting guide bar with a low-profile chain featuring micro chisel cutters and an improved oiling channel, so you get smoother cutting and extended service life when maintained correctly.

Which saws will this 18" bar and chain fit?

This combo fits an extensive range of gas and some electric saws; common compatible manufacturers include Echo, Husqvarna, Craftsman, McCulloch, Homelite, Poulan, Ryobi and Kobalt. Fit depends on matching three key measurements—pitch, gauge and drive link count—so confirm those on your original chain or owner's manual before ordering.

• Pitch: 3/8" low-profile; Gauge: .050"; Drive links: 62
• Examples: Echo CS310/CS-355T/CS-370, Husqvarna 136/141/142, many Craftsman models
• Also fits various Poulan, McCulloch, Homelite, Ryobi and Ego models—see Oregon Part Finder for full list

How does the chain design affect cutting and maintenance?

The chain uses low-vibration micro chisel cutters that balance bite and control, making sharpening straightforward and helping keep kickback low. The design is suitable for occasional commercial work and homeowner projects, offering a forgiving cutting feel while maintaining a durable edge when sharpened and lubricated correctly.

• Micro chisel teeth — easier to sharpen and consistent cutting performance
• Low-vibration profile — reduces user fatigue during longer cuts
• Reversible chain links — extend usable life by switching orientations

What features extend the life of the bar and chain?

Oregon’s LubriTec oiling system improves oil distribution to the bar and chain, reducing friction and preserving component life. The guide bar itself is lightweight and fitted with a multi-rivet nose for added durability and accurate tracking during cutting.

• LubriTec oiling — better lubrication across the bar’s surface and nose
• Multi-rivet nose — reinforced tip for longer bar life and stability
• Lightweight construction — easier handling without sacrificing strength

How do I confirm this is the correct replacement for my saw?

Always verify the stamped numbers on your old chain’s drive links or consult your saw’s owner manual to match pitch and gauge. The guide bar length is measured from the bar’s tip to where it enters the saw housing, not the saw’s overall length.

• Check drive link count (62) stamped on the chain
• Confirm pitch (3/8") and gauge (.050") on the drive link or manual
• Measure guide bar length from tip to where it mounts in the saw

Who this is for: The Oregon 18" AdvanceCut bar and chain combo is built for homeowners, property managers and occasional commercial users who need a robust, easy-to-install replacement that improves lubrication and reduces vibration. If you work with saws up to mid-sized engine classes (typically up to ~42cc) and value straightforward maintenance plus broad model compatibility, this combo provides a practical balance of performance, longevity and safety features.
