I'm looking to replace a sprocket on a small saw and I have a choice between 6 and 7 tooth. So I got to thinking, I don't really know crap. I'm leaning towards 6 tooth cause I'm thinking it won't bog down as much as it would with a 7 tooth, cutting mostly oak.
So just out of curiosity, how do you determine the most efficient sprocket and chain combination for a particular saw?
More teeth, faster chain, less torque.
Less teeth, slower chain, increased torque.
Are there any rules of thumb in deciding what would work best?
How much bearing does the type of wood have?
Any benefit to adjusting the rakers?
I spend way too much time alone driving and so I keep myself entertained thinking about stupid sheet.....
