Oregon PowerCut™ 72EXJ115G Skip-Tooth Chainsaw Chain – 3/8" .050" 115 DL Full Chisel
The skip-tooth version of Oregon’s legendary PowerCut™ series — the 72EXJ115G is built for professional loggers who run extra-long bars (36"–42"+) on high-power saws. With fewer cutting teeth than a standard sequence, this chain clears chips faster, reduces drag, and delivers explosive cutting speed in big timber while maintaining the full-chisel aggression and durability that made the 72EXL famous.
Blued cutters for corrosion resistance, expanded filing indicators, gold loop start marker, and LubriTec™ automatic oiling make this chain easy to maintain and long-lasting even in the harshest conditions.
What Is Skip-Tooth Chain & Why Pros Love It
A skip-tooth (or semi-skip) chain has one or more drive links between each pair of cutters instead of the standard full-sequence pattern. This removes roughly 25–33 % of the cutting teeth.
- Faster chip clearance – critical on long bars to prevent clogging
- Reduced power draw – less drag means higher chain speed & less strain on the engine
- Cooler running – lower friction = longer bar, chain, and clutch life
- Aggressive bite – each remaining full-chisel cutter does more work per revolution
Skip-tooth is the go-to choice for felling large-diameter timber, milling, and competition cutting on bars 36" and longer.
