Hi all,
I know that there's several real chainsaw experts on this forum, so hopefully it's a good place to ask:
How much wear is acceptable on a chainsaw drive sprocket before it should be replaced?
Mine has very slight, polished indentations (maybe a few thousandths) on the drive face of the teeth, and similar wear on the "top" of each tooth. I've seen recommendations (Oregon) to replace the sprocket every second chain, but this seems excessive and unnecessary unless there's significant wear. Your thoughts?
