Yes I did a search, a few actually, and found nothing on where you guys FIND the 9 and 10-tooth sprockets!?

There have been a few discussions on best chain-to-saw recommendations, in which I see several references to 7, 8, 9, and even 10-tooth sprockets. The big question is where can they be had? I have only been able to find 7 and 8-tooth in the parts directories online.

Also, it stands to reason the 10-tooth will be larger in diameter than a 7-tooth of the same pitch and gage, so how does one know whether a sprocket with one or two more teeth wil fit a saw?

Lastly, if a saw is strong enough to pull large sprocket, how much more likely are there to be chain derailments assuming proper tension is kept and the oiler is keeping the chain/bar lubed?

Thanks.
