Husqvarna X-CUT C33-66 16" Professional Chainsaw Chain – .325" Pitch, .050" Gauge, 66 Drive Links – Full Chisel
Get fast, efficient cutting performance for demanding professional work with the Husqvarna X-CUT C33 16" Chainsaw Chain. Designed by Husqvarna specifically for professional use with compatible Husqvarna chainsaws, the C33 combines aggressive full-chisel cutters with a durable chain chassis, long-lasting sharpness, and low stretch. The result is a fast-cutting professional chain engineered to maintain productivity throughout the workday while reducing maintenance requirements.
Chain fitment depends on your guide bar and cutting system specifications—not just chainsaw model or bar length.
Always verify your current chain specifications:
- 16" Bar Length
- .325" Pitch
- .050" (1.3 mm) Gauge
- 66 Drive Links
- Husqvarna X-CUT C33 Chain
- Full-Chisel Cutter
Bar length alone does not guarantee compatibility. Chainsaws can be equipped with different guide bar and chain combinations. Always verify the pitch, gauge, drive-link count, and guide bar length before ordering.
Important: This is a professional .325" pitch, .050" gauge, full-chisel cutting chain. The chain must match the pitch and gauge of the guide bar and drive sprocket installed on your chainsaw.
If you're unsure, contact us with your Husqvarna model number, serial number, guide bar information, and current chain number, and we'll help verify the correct replacement before you order.

Installation Tips
- Shut the chainsaw off and disconnect the spark plug before performing chain or guide bar service.
- Verify that your guide bar requires a 16" chain with .325" pitch, .050" gauge, and exactly 66 drive links.
- Do not select a replacement chain based on bar length alone. Pitch, gauge, and drive-link count must all match.
- Verify that the guide bar and drive sprocket are compatible with .325" pitch chain.
- Clean the guide bar groove and oil passages before installing the new chain.
- Inspect the guide bar and drive sprocket for excessive or uneven wear before installing a new chain.
- Install the chain with the cutter edges facing forward across the top of the guide bar.
- Make sure all 66 drive links are properly seated in the guide bar groove and drive sprocket.
- Adjust chain tension according to the Husqvarna operator's manual. The chain should move freely around the bar while remaining properly seated in the bar groove.
- Although the C33 is pre-stretched to reduce initial stretch, recheck chain tension after the first several cuts and periodically during operation.
- Confirm that the chainsaw's oiling system is functioning properly before cutting. Proper lubrication is critical to chain and guide bar life.
- Full-chisel cutters depend on proper sharpening geometry for maximum performance. Maintain the correct filing angles and depth gauge settings specified for the C33 chain.
- Inspect the chain regularly for damaged cutters, drive links, tie straps, or rivets before professional use.
