Our take on the Oregon L68 ControlCut Chain

The Oregon L68 is a 16-inch replacement saw chain in Oregon's ControlCut line, built for occasional users such as property owners and landscapers. Its Micro Chisel cutters have small-radius corners that hold up in hardwood and are easy to sharpen with a round file. A low-kickback, low-vibration design makes it more forgiving than full-chisel professional chain, though it cuts slower than Oregon's pro chains. It fits several Stihl mid-size saws, including the 025, MS 230, MS 241 C-M, MS 250 and MS 251.
