Description
Overview:
The Felling Wedge 5.5" (14 cm) is a Genuine Oregon part designed to guide trees safely in the desired direction during cutting. Made from a durable, high‐impact polymer, it is lightweight yet tough enough for regular forestry and landscaping work. The wedge opens the kerf to prevent the guide bar from pinching, improving control and reducing the risk of saw kickback. Serrations help the wedge grip bark and timber fibres so it stays put as you drive it in. At 5.5" (14 cm) long, it is compact for small to medium felling tasks and easy to carry in a pouch or pocket. Suitable for use with petrol and electric chainsaws across brands, this OEM component (561109) offers dependable performance for professionals and DIY users alike.
