Oregon OEP 72RD072G 3/8-Inch Ripping Saw Chain 72 Drive Links

The Oregon OEP 72RD072G is a professional-grade ripping chainsaw chain designed specifically for milling lumber from logs. This specialized chain features 72 drive links with a 3/8-inch pitch configuration in a standard sequence pattern, optimized for cutting along the grain of wood rather than across it.

Key Features:

• 72 drive links for compatibility with 20-inch guide bars
• 3/8-inch pitch provides excellent balance of cutting speed and smoothness
• Ripping chain design with modified top-plate angle (10 degrees) for efficient grain-parallel cuts
• Standard sequence cutter configuration for consistent performance
• Premium chrome-plated cutters for extended edge retention
• Heat-treated components for durability under demanding milling conditions
• Low-vibration design reduces operator fatigue during extended use

Oregon's ripping chains are specifically engineered for chainsaw mills and portable sawmills, delivering smoother cuts and better surface finish when converting logs into lumber. The 72RD series features a unique cutter geometry that removes material more efficiently when cutting with the grain, resulting in less strain on the powerhead and faster milling times compared to standard crosscut chains.
