SawWorks 18-inch Chainsaw Chain .325 Pitch .063 Gauge — 68 Drive Links, 3-Pack with Chrome Cutters

SawWorks 18" .325" pitch, .063" gauge chainsaw chain with 68 drive links — a three-pack built for durable, precise cutting on compatible bars.

This replacement chain fits most 18-inch guide bars specified for a .325" pitch and .063" gauge. It’s made from premium German steel with hardened rivets and Japanese chrome-plated cutters for longer edge life and steady performance under frequent use. The package contains three full-chisel chains with 68 drive links, designed for efficient cutting on standard homeowner and professional saws that accept these specifications.

Will this chain fit my chainsaw and guide bar?

Check three measurements on your current chain or bar: pitch, gauge, and drive link count. This SawWorks chain is .325" pitch, .063" gauge and includes 68 drive links — it pairs with bars and sprockets that accept those exact specs. Note that some modern bars (for example, certain 2022+ MS250 models) use a thinner .050" gauge; this product will not fit those bars.

• Pitch: .325" — match your existing chain or bar marking.
• Gauge: .063" — must match guide bar groove width.
• Drive links: 68 — count links to confirm fit to your saw.
• Not compatible with .050" gauge bars without adapter or different chain.

How durable and sharp is the SawWorks chain out of the box?

This chain uses Japanese chrome-plated cutters and German steel core, offering hardened surfaces that resist wear and hold an edge longer than untreated alternatives. Cutters are precision ground and cold-headed via rotary machinery for consistent geometry and impact tolerance, so you’ll experience extended time between sharpenings under normal use.

• Chrome plating improves hardness and reduces abrasive wear.
• Cold-headed cutters maintain uniform shape and edge consistency.
• Hardened rivets help preserve chain integrity and tension stability.

What cutting performance and safety considerations should I expect?

The full-chisel tooth profile delivers fast, aggressive cutting suitable for clean cuts through green wood and general timber work. Because full-chisel chains can generate stronger kickback than lower-profile designs, they require experienced handling and appropriate personal protective equipment. Always follow chainsaw safety best practices and make sure your saw’s safety features are in good working order.

• Full-chisel teeth for high cutting efficiency and faster feed rates.
• Designed for experienced operators who manage kickback risk.
• Use PPE, chain brakes, and correct maintenance routines for safety.

How do I maintain and sharpen this chainsaw chain for lasting performance?

Keep the chain tensioned correctly, lubricated with bar oil, and cleaned after use to prevent premature wear. When it dulls, sharpen with a round file sized for .325" pitch chains or use a compatible grinder, following the original tooth angles to preserve cutting geometry. Regular inspection of rivets and links for wear will prevent unexpected failures.

• Maintain correct chain tension and bar lubrication every use.
• Sharpen with a file or grinder that matches the original cutter radius and angles.
• Inspect rivets and links; replace chain if link wear or elongation is evident.

Who is this for: The SawWorks 18" .325"/.063" 68-drive-link chain is aimed at homeowners, arborists, and professional landscapers who use 18-inch bars specified for .063" gauge and want aggressive cutting performance with enhanced durability. If your guide bar is a .050" gauge, search for the corresponding SawWorks option or contact SawWorks support to ensure the correct match.
