A wood-cutting chainsaw chain of modular construction comprises a plurality of links disposed along a longitudinal centreline of the chain. The links include apertured joiner links, apertured cutter links and apertured driver links. The links are fastened together by pins passed through overlapping and/or adjacent links and one or more of the links are welded to the overlapping and/or adjacent links. The cutter links can comprise a pair of side walls joined to an enclosed top portion and are distributed between the joiner links.
