Description:
This micro chisel chainsaw chain for a 15 inch bar improves cutting speed and handling on medium petrol chainsaws, making felling and limbing tasks more efficient. It suits everyday work on 38–55 cc machines and gives a noticeably cleaner cut thanks to its narrow kerf design according to the manufacturer.
Key Points
This Oregon SpeedCut chain uses low-vibration Micro Chisel cutters with small radius working corners, which help maintain cutting performance and simplify sharpening. The cutters combine new grind technology with clear top-plate and depth filing indicators, so you can restore cutting geometry more accurately and spend less time on maintenance. The built-in Lubri-Tec automatic oiling system feeds oil to critical link points, which should lengthen chain life and reduce downtime. ⚙️

Advantages
The narrow kerf profile makes cuts faster and requires less power from the saw, so it is especially useful when working with lighter or mid-range chainsaw engines. For users who value lower vibration and easier resharpening, the small radius cutters reduce stress on the tool and provide a consistent cutting edge between service intervals. Additionally, the chain’s indicators for top-plate and depth filing mean less guesswork when maintaining the cutters.
Usage Recommendations
When fitting this chain, ensure the 15 inch bar and sprocket match the .325" pitch and that the guide groove accepts a .050" gauge. Tension the chain correctly before use and check lubrication flow from the saw to make the most of the Lubri-Tec oil delivery. For best results, follow a routine sharpening schedule based on cutting frequency and wood type, and be aware that micro chisel cutters may require slightly different filing angles than standard profiles. 🪚
Compatibility Notes
The chain lists compatibility with many popular models including Husqvarna 440e, 450, 455 Rancher, 460 Rancher and 560 XP, as well as Dolmar PS-420, PS-460, PS-500 and PS-540. Consider that while the chain fits a broad range of saws, confirm fitment against your saw’s manual or parts plate before installation to avoid mismatches. 🔧
