Questions & Answers

Is this the opportunistic network?

This chain is referred to as a "control cut." As a result, it's made to be a little less aggressive, a little safer, and a little slower to cut. Other designs don't hold their edge as well as this one does.

How big of a file do you need to sharpen this chain?

3/16 file

The Chain is fantastic! I rarely find a product so good or so bad that I feel compelled to write a review
5/5

I recently purchased an Oregon L68 to go with my Stihl Ms250. I had been thinking about buying this chain for a long time, but I didn't think a chain half the price of a Stihl chain could possibly be as good. When I first tried it, I was completely taken aback by how quickly it cut through 25" logs. I expected to have to tighten the chain after going through the first tank of gas, as I usually do with Stihl chain. I was once again mistaken. So far, I'm happy with my purchase and plan to make another one.

I have four chain saws and use Oregon chains and bars
4/5

I've never had a problem with Oregon bars or chains. I have no trouble mixing and matching OEM parts. Simply double-check that the bar/sprocket/chain specifications are identical. Pitch, gauge, and length must all be exact matches. If you need some assistance, look up a couple of YouTube videos. They aided me in deciphering the meaning of the numbers stamped on the majority of bars.

Excellent value for money
5/5

Straight out of the box, this blade is noticeably sharper than the Stihl blade. I don't think there's any difference in terms of longevity. This is an excellent example of cost having no bearing on quality. These are something I'll keep buying.

The Stihl MS 250 is a perfect match
5/5

On my MS 250, I rotate about 5 chains so that I can keep working when they get dull, and they're all Stihl-made. branded. I decided to order a couple of Oregon chains to try out because they are a little less expensive, and they are a perfect fit and have a great cut. I can't say much about durability right now, but I usually replace the chain at least once per working day, and these don't appear to wear out any faster. I live in the woods and primarily cut alder and fir, both of which are soft woods.

Excellent supply chain! After reading many negative reviews on this and other chainsaw forums about the quality and durability of these chains, I decided to buy one to try as well as a spare OEM
5/5

I'm only a weekend warrior with a chainsaw, so my recommendation is limited compared to someone who uses one for a living, but so far I've been impressed.

The price is excellent, and the cuts are excellent as well
5/5

It was purchased to go with my Stihl MS250 chainsaw. The price was excellent, and the chain cut better than that of a Stihl.

As well as the Stihl, keep an eye on the edge
5/5

My new Stihl blade is much less expensive and performs just as well as my old one. Several old oak trees on my property were recently cut down, and hard old oak eat chainsaw blades quickly. I bought this as a backup blade, and it keeps its edge just as well as my original. I'm so pleased with it that I just purchased a second one as a backup.

I decided to try the Oregon brand for my Stihl chainsaw because it dries out too quickly
3/5

On the first tree I cut down, this blade began to smoke - not a good idea. a piece of ironwood Despite the fact that it is difficult, Then I switched to a Stihl blade and went through like a boss! It's been used on a number of different trees. I'd never buy another Oregon blade again!.
