Find the Right Chain for Your Milwaukee Chainsaw in Two Simple Steps

Choosing the correct chain for your Milwaukee chainsaw doesn't have to be confusing. Some Milwaukee models are available with different guide bar options, so selecting the right replacement chain can sometimes be tricky.

This guide makes the process simple.

First, learn how to identify the exact chain your guide bar requires, then scroll down to the Milwaukee Chainsaw Chain Size Chart to find the recommended chain for your model.

Step 1 – Find Your Milwaukee Chainsaw Model

Scroll down to the Milwaukee Chainsaw Chain Size Chart below and locate your chainsaw model and guide bar length.

This will show you the recommended chain size for your setup.

If your model appears more than once with different gauges or drive link counts, continue to Step 2 to confirm the correct chain.

Step 2 – Check These Two Things on Your Chainsaw

Some Milwaukee chainsaws may have replacement guide bars fitted over time. Checking these two measurements ensures you order the correct replacement chain.

1. Drive Links (DL)

The drive link count is the most accurate way to identify your replacement chain.

To calculate it:

• Count the cutters on your existing chain.
• Multiply that number by 2.
• The result is your Drive Link (DL) count.

Example:

22 cutters × 2 = 44 Drive Links (44DL)

If you notice one slightly larger gap between the cutters, your chain has an odd number of drive links, such as 45DL.

2. Gauge

Gauge refers to the thickness of the drive links that fit into the guide bar groove.

Look for one of these markings stamped on your guide bar near the mounting point:

• .043" (1.1mm)
• .050" (1.3mm)
• .058" (1.5mm)

Your replacement chain must have the exact same gauge as your guide bar.

If the gauge is incorrect, the chain will not fit properly.

Do You Need to Check the Pitch?

In most cases, no.

Once you've confirmed the correct Drive Link count and Gauge, the chain pitch will automatically match your Milwaukee guide bar.

This makes choosing the correct replacement chain much easier.

Why This Method Is the Most Accurate

Many Milwaukee chainsaws have replacement guide bars fitted during their lifetime.

For example, a previous owner may have changed:

• A .043" guide bar to a .050" guide bar
• A .050" guide bar to a .058" guide bar
• A 14-inch bar to a 16-inch bar
• A 16-inch bar to an 18-inch bar

Because of this, relying solely on the chainsaw model can sometimes result in ordering the wrong chain.

Checking your Drive Links and Gauge guarantees the correct fit every time.
