Oleo-Mac 1.5 mm cutting chain .325" - what it is and why you should choose it?
Oleo-Mac 1.5 mm cutting chain .325" 78 guide links 30629008C is the original factory chain designed for Oleo-Mac petrol chainsaws. This is the working element of the chainsaw responsible for the proper cutting of wood - from small branches to thicker logs. It is made of high-quality, hardened wear-resistant steel, so it stays sharp for a long time and does not require frequent sharpening.
Designation .325" determines the pitch of the chain, that is, the distance between successive rivets. This is a very popular pitch in multi-purpose and semi-professional saws - it combines high cutting performance with good working culture and reduced vibration levels. Groove width 1.5 mm (0.058") ensures a perfect fit with the compatible bar, stable chain guidance and less risk of chain popping out of the groove.
78 guide links is responsible for the total length of the chain, and thus for matching the specific length of the bar. In practice, this means that you are assured of correct chain tension and comfortable chainsaw operation without stopping for adjustments.
Cutting teeth of the type semi-chisel provide an optimal compromise between cutting aggressiveness and cutting edge durability. This type of tooth profile is less sensitive to contaminants in the wood (sand, soil, bark), so the chain stays sharp longer and better withstands harsh working conditions.
In daily use, this means for you:
- fewer sharpening breaks,
- high operating culture - the saw does not "jerk" when cutting into the wood,
- clean cut, which facilitates further processing of wood (chopping, storage, drying).

Application of Oleo-Mac 1.5 mm cutting chain .325" in daily work
Oleo-Mac 1.5 mm chain .325" 78 guide links 30629008C is designed as a chain versatile and efficient, ideal for a wide range of woodworking tasks. It works well for both light domestic work and more demanding tasks in the woods or on construction sites.
Example application areas:
- Work in the garden and orchard - pruning branches, removing dry branches, crown molding, cleaning up after storms. Semi-chisel teeth allow for smooth and controlled cutting, which is important for precise pruning of branches.
- Preparation of firewood - cutting logs into fireplace or stove sections, sawing logs and branches into smaller pieces. The chain retains its sharpness even when working for a long time on hardwood (e.g. oak, beech), which reduces fuel preparation time.
- Forestry and logging work - felling of medium-sized trees, trunk limbing, thinning of young trees. Stable chain operation facilitates precise directional cuts and reduces operator fatigue.
- Wood construction - cutting beams, scantlings, structural elements, preparing wood for roof trusses or sheds. Accurate and even cutting reduces the need for additional machining.
Thanks to the well-thought-out geometry of the teeth, the chain copes well with both soft wood (spruce, pine) and hard wood (oak, acacia). Properly driven and regularly lubricated, it allows to significantly speed up the work, while increasing the safety of the operator.

Key features and advantages of Oleo-Mac 30629008C cutting chain
When you choose this chain, you get a product developed by specialists with years of experience in the forestry equipment industry. The most important benefits for the user are:
- High durability and wear resistance - hardened steel and precision-made links ensure long service life even in intensive use. It saves you time and money because you replace the chain less often and use fewer consumables.
- Semi-cutting teeth - are characterized by a softer edge compared to full-hole teeth, which makes them more resistant to dulling due to contact with dirt. In practice, you can work longer between sharpening, and the chain "forgives" the occasional snag on the ground or sand in the bark.
- Stable, smooth operation of the saw - pitch .325" and a width of 1.5 mm ensure high operating culture, reducing vibration and recoil. This makes it easier to guide the saw along the cutting line and translates into greater safety, especially for less experienced users.
- Optimal fit for Oleo-Mac chainsaws - Designed specifically for GSH 520, GSH 51, 510, 56, 560 models. The original chain eliminates the problem of mismatching technical parameters and guarantees full use of the power of the device.
- High cutting performance - Aggressive but controlled tooth geometry enables rapid penetration into the material, resulting in shorter job completion times. This is especially important for seasonal logging, when every working hour counts.
In daily use, this means you can plan without worry:
- cleaning up a plot of land after a windstorm in one day,
- preparing firewood for the entire season in a few intensive work sessions,
- execution of horticultural and forestry orders without the risk of unplanned downtime due to chain damage.

How to take care of your Oleo-Mac cutting chain to make it last as long as possible?
Durability and operational safety of the chain largely depend on proper operation and maintenance. To get the most out of the Oleo-Mac 30629008C chain, it is worth following a few simple rules:
- Regular sharpening - sharpen the chain at the first signs of a decrease in cutting performance (increase in sawdust, the need to press the saw harder against the wood). Use a file with the correct diameter for the pitch .325".
- Proper chain tension - the chain should not sag from the bar, but must be able to be lifted slightly by hand so that the guide links do not come completely out of the groove. A chain that is too loose increases the risk of falling off, one that is too tight accelerates wear and tear.
- Proper lubrication - always take care of the correct level of chain lubrication oil. Dry chain heats up, dulls faster and can damage the bar.
- Avoiding pollution - try not to cut in the ground or in direct contact with stones and metal parts (nails, screws). Sand and foreign bodies drastically shorten the life of any chain.
- Storage - after the season is over, clean the chain, lightly oil it and store it in a dry place. This will protect it from corrosion.
With this kind of operation, the chain will serve you for a long time, ensuring not only high cutting efficiency, but also safety and comfort at work.
