Ideas on double ended sawbars with helper handle how to adjust chain tension.
This is my first post here and I need help before starting to do some csm of some slabs on soft wood to start with.
The double ended sawbar I have is 66” long total and is about 74” long when the aluminum helper handle is installed. This helper handle has a grooved roller on it for the chain. The helper handle will slide on the 3/8" slot cut in both ends of the double ended bar.
Do most people just use a screwdriver to put tension on the chain on a outboard helper handle to adjust chain tension say during the first cut when things heat up and the chain stretches?
Does anyone make a threaded rod and bolt to fit the helper handle to adjust chain tension during the first ripping cut.
Thank you for any ideas on this topic.
