Oregon VersaCut 16" Semi-Chisel Chainsaw Chain – 3/8" Low Profile, .050" Gauge, 57 Drive Links
Get versatile, dependable cutting performance with this Oregon VersaCut 16" Semi-Chisel Chainsaw Chain. Designed for landowners and tree-cutting professionals who need a multi-purpose, high-performance chain, VersaCut combines durability, versatility, and easy maintenance for a wide range of cutting applications. Oregon's proprietary cutter technology provides a sharp, durable cutting edge for increased cutting performance with less effort, while the semi-chisel cutter design is easy to maintain and sharpen.
Chain fitment depends on your guide bar specifications—not just chainsaw model or bar length.
Always verify your current chain specifications:
- 16" Bar Length
- 3/8" Low Profile Pitch
- .050" (1.3 mm) Gauge
- 57 Drive Links
Model fitment alone does not guarantee compatibility. Many chains and guide bars look similar but use different pitch, gauge, and drive link combinations. Some chainsaw models may have been equipped with different guide bars or chain configurations.
Important: This chain uses an angled raker as a kickback-reduction feature but is not an ANSI-approved low-kickback chain. Always follow the chainsaw manufacturer's operating and safety instructions.
If you're unsure, contact us with your chainsaw model number, guide bar information, and current chain number, and we'll help verify the correct replacement before you order.
