Slowly getting back to this project. Wanted to start honing my skills on the plasma table so figured out how to nest parts.

Have a good bit of what I think is called Link Belt Chain, (someone give me the right name if you know) But can't find mating sprockets, so here's a sprocket in kit form. In the joys of CAD copying I ended up with twice as many spacers as required.

Welded up, with a section of the chain.

The chain came from an old sawmill, some links have bolt flanges to attach crossers to carry sawdust or trim ends up a wooden chute.
This chain is either REALLY worn or some odd size, the pitch came out as 2.709 inches measuring 40 links. The sizes in the machinist handbook are odd, 2.609 for a number 78 then jumps to 3.075 for a number 103.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
