Saw chains by the link for professional use

STIHL takes great pride in its chain factory in Switzerland. By producing the saws, guide bars and chains all in its own factories, STIHL is always able to create the best solutions.

All STIHL chains are tested with STIHL equipment and, most importantly, pre-stretched. This means that new chains stretch minimally or not at all on first use. Because STIHL produces all three key chainsaw components itself – the machine, the guide bar and the saw chain – perfect compatibility between these components is guaranteed. The use of the correct sharpening tools is no less important, as these too are made to suit the materials of the cutting equipment and with its sharpening recommendations in mind.

We sell chains by length – simply select the appropriate chain type and set your order quantity as your saw chain's length in drive links, which, for example, on the guide bar below is 61 drive links, the groove width is 1.3mm and the pitch is 3/8.

You can choose between a standard chain, a square-tooth professional chain, a HEXA professional chain and a carbide-tooth chain.

RMC – standard chain – with a curved cutting tooth, for the everyday user

RSC – professional chain with a square tooth (cuts 25% faster, sensitive to dirty cutting)

RH – Rapid HEXA full chisel chain

Carbide chain PD:

A chain with carbide teeth. It lets you cut stumps close to the ground, use it for demolishing buildings or cut other dirty wood. A carbide-tooth chain stays sharp an estimated 8 times longer than a standard chain. NB! Please note that a carbide chain is vulnerable to larger nails and stones, which can damage the chain.
