Description
Overview:
The 18" (45 cm) PM3 chainsaw chain is a 60-drive-link loop built for light to mid-range chainsaws that use a 3/8" low-profile pitch (3/8" ≈ 9.5 mm) and a 0.050" gauge (1.3 mm). Made from durable steel with a Picco Micro 3 (PM3) cutter profile, it delivers smooth cutting with reduced kickback and lower vibration compared to standard profiles. It is suitable for general-purpose cutting on guide bars that match its length, pitch and gauge, helping you maintain clean, controlled cuts in timber. This loop is commonly used on popular models such as the Stihl MS 261 and McCulloch 10 E, and it's a dependable choice for users who want consistent performance and easy handling on site, in the garden, or around the yard.
Key Features:
- 18" (45 cm) loop with 60 drive links for a precise fit on compatible guide bars
- 3/8" low-profile pitch (≈ 9.5 mm) and 0.050" (1.3 mm) gauge for efficient cutting and narrow kerf
- PM3 (Picco Micro 3) design to minimise kickback and improve user control

Typical Applications:
Ideal for pruning, limbing, firewood processing, fencing work and general site carpentry. Suitable for property maintenance, landscaping and light forestry tasks where controlled, low-kickback cutting is preferred.
