The sprocket for the chain saw finally arrived, glad I didn't have a piece of equipment laid up waiting 9 weeks for parts.
Drilled and threaded the bolt pattern for the sprocket, a bit of creative clamping. Not well stocked with metric taps and dies, was rather amazed how well a Canadian Tire brand tap cut 4140.

Then had to cut a keyway indexed to the bolt pattern.

The keyway cut and it all fits, once in a while I get lucky. Even in the shop.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
