Okay, before you jump on me I do have an electric chainsaw, I have 4 gas ones but I admit I also have (or had) an electric one.
My excuse is that when junking up the logs on my rudimentary "processor" there is always the ,
1) Cut
2) turn off and put down chainsaw
3) advance log
4) pick up and re-start chainsaw
5) see (1) and repeat.
With the electric saw, after you cut and release the trigger the saw stops allowing you to set the saw on a nearby surface and then go to step ( 3) immediately followed by step (1).
The bonus is that once the trigger is released the saw can be set on any convenient surface (preferably one that doesn't require
bending down!)
Anyway, my use of an electric chainsaw being justified I'll explain my problem.
The saw stopped moving it's chain.
The following pick shows why.
It also shows that I was able to determine the tooth count and then the Diametral pitch and pressure angle with my gauge.
A further check in my gears drawaer produced this.
So now All I have to do is machine the plastic gear and the steel one to fit each other and I should be back in business
junking this .
To be ready for the splitter.
Don't hold your breath, wife is demanding priorities.
