Abstract

A saw chain for a chain saw is disclosed. Embodiments include a drive link that may be used in a saw chain, wherein the drive link includes a tail and a concavity that complements a depth gauge of a trailing cutting link, reducing and/or minimizing the drive link's protrusion into a gullet space of the cutting link. Embodiments of the invention may help improve cutting performance and further help reduce kickback potential.
