STIHL 63PMC3 Picco Chainsaw Chain
The STIHL 63PMC3 is a Picco low-profile saw-chain configuration using 3/8" low-profile pitch, .050" gauge, and semi-chisel cutters.
The semi-chisel cutter profile provides a practical combination of cutting performance, durability, and manageable routine sharpening for compatible smaller-displacement chainsaw cutting systems.
100' Bulk STIHL Chain Reel
This listing contains 100 feet of bulk STIHL 63PMC3 saw chain.
The complete reel contains 1,640 drive links.
Unlike a pre-cut replacement chain, a bulk reel allows properly equipped users to make multiple compatible chain loops in the exact drive-link counts required for different cutting-system configurations.
1,640 Drive Links
STIHL part number 3636 005 1640 contains 1,640 total drive links.
The 1,640-drive-link specification describes the complete reel. Individual finished chains use only the number of drive links specified for the particular chainsaw and guide bar.
3/8" Low Profile Picco Pitch
The STIHL 63PMC3 uses 3/8" low-profile pitch, part of the STIHL Picco cutting-system family.
3/8" low-profile chain should not be assumed to be interchangeable with standard 3/8" chain simply because both are described as 3/8".
The chain pitch, sprockets, guide bar, gauge, and complete cutting-system specification must all match.
.050" / 1.3 mm Gauge
This 63PMC3 chain uses a .050-inch / 1.3 mm gauge.
Gauge identifies the thickness of the drive-link portion that travels through the guide-bar groove. The guide-bar groove and chain gauge must match correctly.
Semi-Chisel Cutter Design
The supplied specifications identify STIHL 63PMC3 as using a semi-chisel cutter.
The semi-chisel profile uses a more rounded working corner than an aggressive full-chisel design and provides a useful balance of cutting performance and durability during normal chainsaw work.
Standard Cutter Sequence
This specific STIHL 63PMC3 reel uses a standard cutter sequence.
It should be identified by the complete 63PMC3 specification rather than treated as generic 3/8" low-profile bulk chain.
