Oregon Tool S57 Advancecut 16 in Chainsaw Chain

Product Description

The OREGON TOOL S57 is a 16-inch semi-chisel chainsaw chain built for reliable cutting performance on small to mid-size gas-powered saws. Constructed with hard-chromed cutters and hardened rivets, this chain delivers maximum wood bite while maintaining durability across extended work sessions. The heat-treated semi-chisel tooth profile cuts smoothly and handles debris-heavy conditions better than a full-chisel design. A built-in Lubri-Tec automatic oiling system delivers oil to key chain components during operation, reducing wear and the frequency of chain adjustments. At 0.555 pounds, it is lightweight and straightforward to install. This chain meets ANSI standards for low-kickback and is engineered to reduce vibration and user fatigue during prolonged use.

The S57 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where operators run small, lower-powered saws up to 42 cc. It is the correct fit for any chainsaw brand running a 3/8 inch pitch with a .050 inch (1.3 mm) gauge bar. Landscapers, tree care crews, and homeowners maintaining property will find this chain appropriate for firewood cutting, limbing, and general cleanup work. Always pair this narrow kerf chain with a narrow kerf bar for correct fitment and safe operation.

Installation Notes

Installation and chain replacement should be performed by an operator familiar with chainsaw safety procedures. Power down the saw and confirm the chain brake is engaged before handling the chain.
