Oregon 91PXL ControlCut™ 12" Saw Chain - 3/8" LP x .050" (44 DL)
The Oregon 91PXL044G ControlCut™ is engineered for both property owners and professionals who require a smooth, controlled cut on lightweight chainsaws. This 12-inch chain features semi-chisel cutters with an aggressive edge and a forgiving profile, making it easier to maintain. It is specifically designed to provide a balance of high-speed performance and maximum safety during limb trimming and felling.
Durability & Advanced Lubrication
Built with the Lubri-Tec™ automatic oiling system, this chain delivers oil to critical rivets and drive links to extend service life and reduce friction. The chrome-plated cutters and hardened rivets provide a tough outer layer that resists wear, ensuring you stay in the cut longer with fewer tension adjustments.

🛠️ Mechanic's Tip:
The 91PXL ControlCut™ is often preferred over the 91PX series because it offers slightly more aggressive cutting speed while remaining fully safety-rated. Use a 5/32" round file for maintenance. For the smoothest operation, check your depth gauges (rakers) every few sharpenings to ensure they aren't too low, which can cause the saw to "chatter" or jump in the cut.
