Our take on the Oregon AdvanceCut Series R56 Chainsaw Chain, 90PX Chain, 16 in L Bar, 0.043 in Gauge, 3/8 in TPI/Pitch, 56-Link

The Oregon R56 is a 16-inch, 56-link replacement chain in the AdvanceCut line, built with 3/8-inch low-profile pitch and a narrow 0.043-inch gauge. The slim gauge cuts with less drag, so small, low-power saws keep their speed in limbs and light firewood work. It is a low-kickback chain aimed at homeowners and landscapers rather than felling crews. Against standard-gauge chains on the same saw, it asks less of the motor but wears faster in dirty or hard wood.

What reviewers say

Owners of small battery and electric saws generally find the R56 a good match for the saw it was made for, praising easy fit and smooth cutting. Some report it dulls or stretches sooner than heavier chain, especially in dirty wood.

What people mention

  • CuttingPraisedOwners report smooth, low-vibration cuts in limbs and small logs on low-power saws.
  • DurabilityCriticisedSeveral say the thin chain dulls and stretches sooner than heavier gauge chain.
  • KickbackPraisedThe low-kickback design is noted as reassuring for occasional users.
  • Power drawMixedIt keeps small saws from bogging down, but some find cutting speed modest in harder wood.

About the Oregon AdvanceCut Series R56 Chainsaw Chain, 90PX Chain, 16 in L Bar, 0.043 in Gauge, 3/8 in TPI/Pitch, 56-Link

Questions and answers

Will this chain fit my saw?
Only if your saw takes 3/8-inch low-profile pitch, 0.043-inch gauge and 56 drive links on a 16-inch bar. Check the bar stamp or your saw's manual before buying.
Is it good for a battery-powered saw?
Yes. The narrow gauge draws less power, which suits small battery and electric saws. It is not intended for high-power gas saws.
How does it compare with standard 0.050 gauge chain?
It cuts with less drag and is easier on small motors, but it is thinner and generally wears faster in dirty or hard wood.
Does it come with a bar?
No. This is the chain only. You reuse your existing 16-inch bar.
Is it low-kickback?
Yes, the 90PX cutter design is a low-kickback chain, though you should still use proper safety gear and technique.
How often should I tension it?
Check tension before each use and after the first few cuts on a new chain, since it stretches as it breaks in.
