Chainsaw Repair

That it is but--oil will get er done too . Truth be told I just use what I get a hold of .I can't always be choosey .Fact I carved a spur  out of A2 ,did the oil deal then annealed it back to probabley around 56-60 Rockwell and didn't have any problems .

You know I wouldn't dream of doing my half wit metalurgy on a critical  part but for a chainsaw spur it worked .

On second thought I did make a hob out of A2 to cut a worm wheel on a lathe .Talk about a long drawn out process but I got er done finally .Cutting a worm wheel on a lathe however is another story all together .
