    Chains used on log cutting machines

    Thanks for the reply Wilhelm. I decided on the 14 slot sprocket so I can keep the engine RPM down. The saw will be over driven 2 to 1 so My plan is keeping the engine RPM about 2500 which will be 5000 on the shaft that drives the chain so the 14 slot means the chain will move 14 drive links per...

    Thanks for the reply WoodAbuser. I'm up at the shop now my therapy guy told me to do everything I can except for running power equipment. I see that I need to make a change in the design of the guide bar mounting plate to make it work better so I'll see if I can get it taken apart today. I had...
