Oregon M72 SpeedCut chainsaw chain 3-pack for 18-inch bar — .325" pitch, .050" gauge, 72 links

Oregon M72 SpeedCut 3-pack is a .325" pitch, .050" gauge saw chain with 72 drive links engineered for smooth, low-maintenance cutting on 18-inch bars.

Built to replace worn or damaged chains on a wide range of consumer and professional chainsaws, this three-pack of SpeedCut chains combines a semi-chisel cutter profile, hardened components and Oregon's Lubri-Tec automatic oiling features to keep cutting performance consistent. The design balances fast, efficient wood removal with durability that reduces the need for frequent adjustments and premature replacement.

Which saws will the M72 SpeedCut chain fit?

The chain is made for chainsaw bars that specify a .325" pitch and .050" (1.3 mm) gauge with 72 drive links. It is compatible with many popular models across brands when those three dimensions match the saw's requirements.

• Common compatible models include Husqvarna 240, 350, 435, 445, 450, 455 Rancher.
• Fits several Jonsered and Dolmar saws such as CS2240 and CS2250S when specs match.
• Always verify bar length, pitch, gauge and link count on your saw before ordering.

How does the semi-chisel cutter help during cutting?

The semi-chisel cutters provide fast, aggressive cutting while tolerating dirt and debris better than full-chisel designs. That makes them a good compromise for general-purpose cutting where contamination or tougher conditions are likely.

• Smoother bite and consistent feed rate on a variety of wood types.
• Higher resistance to dulling from grit compared with full-chisel teeth.
• Easier to maintain sharpness, extending effective cutting time between sharpenings.

What durability features reduce maintenance needs?

Oregon added a hardened chrome outer layer and strengthened rivets to improve wear resistance and chain life. The result is fewer tensioning adjustments and reduced downtime for routine upkeep.

• Heat-treated components resist stretching and premature wear.
• Chrome finish protects cutting edges from abrasion.
• Hardened rivets keep links securely aligned under load.

Does the chain help with lubrication and reduced downtime?

Yes — this SpeedCut chain includes Oregon's Lubri-Tec automatic oiling design that channels oil to critical contact points. Better lubrication lowers friction and wear so you can work longer between servicing stops.

• Lubri-Tec delivers oil to pivot points and cutters during operation.
• Reduces heat and friction for steadier performance over long jobs.
• Supports more consistent tension and fewer mid-job adjustments.

Who this is for: The Oregon M72 SpeedCut 3-pack is ideal for homeowners, landscapers and light-to-medium-duty pros who need a dependable replacement chain for 18-inch bars with .325" pitch, .050" gauge and 72 links. If you value a balance of cutting speed, resistance to dirt-related dulling and lower maintenance intervals, this chain offers a practical, cost-effective upgrade or spare set for common saw models.
