Overview
This aftermarket 18-inch replacement chain is designed to fit select DeWalt chainsaw models. When the factory chain wears out, loses its edge after multiple sharpenings, or stretches past the tensioner’s range, this chain gets you back to cutting without waiting for a dealer order. It’s built to OEM dimensions for a direct fit.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 18”
- Type: Semi-chisel (aftermarket replacement)
Compatibility
This chain is designed as a direct replacement for select DeWalt chainsaws. Double-check the pitch, gauge, and drive-link count on your existing bar stamp before purchasing. These three measurements must all match for safe operation.
Installation notes
Start by removing the battery or disconnecting the power cord. Take off the bar-cover plate and release bar tension. Pull the old chain out of the groove and off the sprocket. Seat the replacement chain into the bar groove — cutters must face forward on the top of the bar. Engage the chain on the drive sprocket, reinstall the cover, and adjust tension so the chain lifts about a dime’s width off the bar and springs back. Hand-rotate the chain to check for binding before powering on.
Common questions
Q: Will this 18 inch chainsaw chain fit my DeWalt DCCS672B 60V chainsaw, and is it also compatible with the DWCS600?
Yes, this chain is listed as compatible with the DeWalt DCCS672B 60V 18” chainsaw and the DWCS600 using an 18 inch bar. It’s designed as a replacement saw chain for those specific models, so it should match the bar length requirement correctly.
Q: Do I need any special steps to install this chain on my DCCS672B, or is it just a standard replacement?
It installs like a standard replacement chain: remove the side cover, release bar tension, fit the chain around the sprocket and bar, then retension it before tightening everything back down. Make sure the cutting teeth face forward on the top of the bar, and check chain tension again after a few minutes of use since a new chain can stretch slightly.
Q: How often should I sharpen and oil this 18 inch chain on my DeWalt 18” saw?
Keep the chain oiled whenever the saw is in use, and always verify the bar-and-chain oil reservoir is filled before cutting. Sharpen it whenever you notice slower cutting, fine sawdust instead of chips, or if the saw starts pulling to one side, because those are common signs the cutters are getting dull.
