Oregon 28-inch Chainsaw Chain 3/8" Pitch .050" Gauge — 93 Drive Links (72EXJ093G)

Oregon 28" chainsaw chain (3/8" pitch, .050" gauge, 93 drive links) is a replacement cutting chain engineered to restore cutting performance to compatible gas-powered saws.

This Oregon chain is built to match the specifications of many professional and homeowner chainsaws that accept a 28-inch guide bar and a 3/8" pitch with a .050" gauge. It ships in compact packaging and is identified by model number 72EXJ093G. The chain's materials and manufacturing tolerances are designed to provide reliable tooth geometry and consistent drive link fit for smooth feed and cutting control.

Will this chain fit my chainsaw and guide bar?

Check three measurements before ordering: bar length (28"), pitch (3/8"), and gauge (.050"). Also confirm the number of drive links (93) matches the saw's sprocket channel. If all four match, the chain will seat and tension normally on compatible gas-powered saws.

• Bar length: 28 inches — matches a 28" guide bar.
• Pitch: 3/8" — distance between rivets centers.
• Gauge: .050" — thickness of the drive links.
• Drive links: 93 — count for the sprocket and bar rail fit.

How does installing an Oregon replacement chain affect cutting performance?

A correctly sized Oregon chain restores proper tooth geometry and chain tension, which helps maintain predictable cutting action and efficient chip removal. While performance depends on sharpening and oiling, a new chain reduces vibration from worn teeth and improves evenness of cuts.

• Fresh cutting teeth improve bite and reduce stalling on thick wood.
• Accurate drive links ensure smooth feed around the bar and sprocket.
• Consistent manufacturing reduces the need for immediate reshaping or repairs.

What are the installation and maintenance basics for this chain?

Installation requires loosening the bar nuts, placing the chain around the bar and sprocket, and retensioning to the manufacturer’s recommended tension while the chain is cold. Regular maintenance includes sharpening, correct bar and chain lubrication, and periodic checking of rivet tightness to keep the chain safe and effective.

• Retain proper cold tension — not too tight, not too loose.
• Lubricate the bar with bar oil at each use to prevent wear.
• Sharpen cutters and inspect rivets as part of routine service.

Are there safety or compatibility cautions I should know?

Always use personal protective equipment and follow the chainsaw manufacturer's guidance when replacing the chain. Do not force a mismatched chain onto a bar; improper sizing increases the risk of kickback and premature wear.

• Confirm the saw is off and spark plug disconnected before working on it.
• Do not modify drive links or stretch a wrong-size chain to fit.
• Replace the bar or sprocket if they show excessive wear before installing a new chain.

Who is this for: This Oregon 28" 3/8" pitch .050" gauge chain is intended for homeowners, arborists, and professional cutters using gas-powered chainsaws that require a 93-drive-link replacement. It suits anyone needing a direct-fit replacement to restore cutting function—provided the saw and bar measurements match exactly—and who will perform routine maintenance like sharpening and lubrication.
