SawWorks Skiptooth 24" Chainsaw Chain — 3/8" Pitch .050" Gauge, 84DL, Full-Chisel with Chrome-Plated Cutters

The SawWorks Skiptooth 24 Inch chainsaw chain is a heavy-duty, full-chisel 3/8" pitch, .050" gauge, 84-drive-link replacement designed for fast, reliable cutting with extended wear life.

Built for professionals and serious homeowners, this Skiptooth chain balances aggressive cutting speed with long-term durability. It uses premium German steel, hardened rivets and advanced Japanese chrome plating on the cutters to resist abrasion and keep the edge longer. The design reduces the frequency of sharpening while providing consistent performance across a range of standard cutting tasks.

How does this chain resist wear and stay sharp longer?

The SawWorks Skiptooth chain combines superior materials and precision manufacturing to maintain edge life. German steel provides a tough backbone, while Japanese chrome plating on the cutters increases surface hardness and wear resistance. Heat-controlled processing and cold-headed, rotary-ground cutters ensure consistent dimensions and lower premature dulling.

• Japanese chrome-plated cutters for enhanced hardness and wear resistance
• Cold-headed, precision-ground cutters to strict tolerances
• Hardened rivets and temperature-controlled heat treatment for link stability
• Full-chisel teeth for fast, efficient cutting action

Will this chain fit my chainsaw and how do I check compatibility?

Compatibility depends on four key specs: pitch, gauge, total length (drive link count), and bar length. This product is a 24" Skiptooth chain with 3/8" pitch, .050" gauge and 84 drive links, so match those to your saw’s specifications. If you’re unsure, consult your owner’s manual or read the stamp on your guide bar, or contact SawWorks support with your bar or model number.

• Confirm 3/8" pitch and .050" gauge on your saw/bar
• Verify 84 drive links equals your guide bar’s drive slot count
• Match to a 24" guide bar length for correct fit and tension
• Contact SawWorks Customer Support for fitment help

How does the Skiptooth design affect cutting and maintenance?

Skiptooth chains have fewer teeth and larger gullets, enabling faster clearing of chips and reduced clogging when cutting larger-diameter wood. That makes them well suited for ripping and bucking where speed and chip clearance matter. However, they can produce a rougher finish than full-tooth chains and require proper tensioning and sharpening intervals for best results.

• Fewer cutters for faster chip ejection and less clogging
• Large gullets aid cutting through heavy timber and debris
• Fast material removal but slightly coarser finish than full-tooth chains
• Requires standard chain maintenance: tension checks and periodic sharpening

Are there safety notes or special training recommended?

This Skiptooth chain is capable of kickback like other full-chisel chains; it should only be used by operators who understand kickback avoidance and safe chainsaw techniques. Always follow your chainsaw manufacturer’s safety guidelines, use appropriate protective gear, and keep bystanders at a safe distance. Professional training or experience is advised before operating high-performance chains.

• Kickback risk exists; use only with proper training and PPE
• Follow chainsaw and bar manufacturer safety instructions
• Regularly inspect chain tension, lubrication and cutter condition
• Keep chain sharpening and maintenance within recommended intervals
