Our take on the Oregon AdvanceCut D68 18 links

The Oregon AdvanceCut D68 is an 18-inch, 68-drive-link replacement chain for gas and electric chainsaws in the 42–55 cc class. It uses full chisel cutters with a low-kickback bumper drive link, so it cuts fast while meeting reduced-kickback standards for occasional and commercial users. LubriTec oil channels and top-plate filing marks make it easier to keep oiled and sharp. It is a general-purpose chain rather than a pro racing chain, and it fits only bars and sprockets that match its 3/8-inch low-profile pitch and .050-inch gauge.

What reviewers say

Owners of mid-size saws generally find this chain a solid, affordable replacement that cuts well out of the box and holds an edge through normal firewood work. Complaints center on how quickly it dulls in dirty wood and on the slower cut from the safety bumpers.

What people mention
  • Cutting speedMixedOwners say it cuts quickly in clean wood but the low-kickback bumpers slow it against a full pro chain.
  • DurabilityMixedThe steel holds up in clean timber, but users report fast dulling in dirty or frozen wood.
  • SharpeningPraisedTop-plate filing indicators make it easy to keep the cutters at the right angle.
  • Kickback safetyPraisedBuyers value the reduced-kickback design for occasional and homeowner use.
  • FitMixedIt fits matching 18-inch bars well, but shoppers must confirm pitch, gauge and 68 drive links.

Questions and answers

What saws does the D68 fit?
It fits saws with an 18-inch bar running 3/8-inch low-profile pitch, .050-inch gauge and 68 drive links, typically 42–55 cc models. Check your bar's stamped specs before buying.
Is this a low-kickback chain?
Yes. It has bumper drive links that meet reduced-kickback requirements, which makes it a safer choice for occasional users than a full chisel chain without bumpers.
How does it compare with the Oregon ControlCut?
ControlCut is aimed at pro users with a more aggressive cutter and less kickback protection. The AdvanceCut D68 trades some speed for smoother, safer cutting.
Can I sharpen it myself?
Yes. The top-plate filing marks show the correct angle, and a 5/32-inch round file matches the cutters. File every few tanks of fuel for best performance.
What is LubriTec?
It is Oregon's oil-channel design that carries bar oil to the rivets and cutters. It reduces friction and extends chain and bar life when the oiler works properly.
Does it come with a bar?
No. This is the chain only. You reuse your existing 18-inch bar and sprocket if they match the pitch and gauge.
