Stens Chainsaw Chain

Check your current chain or the bar on your chainsaw for the pitch, gauge, and drive link count. This specific chain requires a 3/8-inch pitch, a .043-inch gauge, and exactly 55 drive links to function safely and correctly.

A low-profile design typically features smaller cutters that reduce vibration and kickback, making it ideal for smaller saws and lighter-duty tasks. It creates a narrower kerf, which allows the saw to cut through wood with less resistance and power.

Yes, this Stens chain is designed as a direct alternative to those specific industry-standard references. If your saw currently uses one of those models, this chain will be a compatible replacement.

This chain is optimized for smaller, low-profile applications rather than heavy-duty, professional-grade logging. It is best suited for pruning, limbing, and cutting smaller diameter wood where a narrow kerf is beneficial.

The gauge is the thickness of the drive link that fits into the chainsaw bar groove. It is critical that this measurement matches your bar exactly; if the gauge is too thick, it won't fit, and if it is too thin, the chain will wobble and cause uneven cuts or potential damage.
