Our take on the Oregon R56 AdvanceCut Chainsaw Chain, 16 inch, 56 Drive Links

The Oregon R56 is a 16-inch replacement chain for small homeowner saws up to 42 cc. It uses 3/8-inch low-profile pitch, .043-inch gauge and 56 drive links, so it fits narrow-kerf bars only. LubriTec oiling channels feed the bar and cut friction, and top-plate filing indicators help you keep the cutters sharp. It is a low-kickback chain, which makes it a sensible pick for occasional users and light pruning work rather than heavy felling.

Questions and answers

Will this fit my 16-inch chainsaw?
Only if your bar takes 3/8-inch low-profile pitch, .043-inch gauge and 56 drive links. Check the numbers stamped on your bar before ordering.
Can I use it on a standard-kerf bar?
No. Oregon says narrow-kerf chain must run on a narrow-kerf bar. Mixing the two wears the bar and chain.
What size saw is it for?
Saws up to 42 cc. Larger saws need a heavier chain.
Is it a low-kickback chain?
Yes. It met the ANSI B175.1-2012 kickback performance requirement in testing.
How do I sharpen it?
Use a file sized for 3/8-inch low-profile chain and follow the top-plate indicators to keep the angles right.
