Work length gauge attachment for chain saws

摘要

An attachment for a chain saw, suitable for holding a work length gauge, such as a wire log length gauge, to the chain saw so as to facilitate measuring and cutting logs to equal length, is provided for fastening to different handles and/or handle portions of different types of chain saws and for holding the gauge in desired gauging position with respect to the saw chains and cuts. The attachment is adapted to be fastened to vertical, horizontal transverse and horizontal longitudinal handle portions and to hold the log length gauge so that it may extend horizontally and transversely with respect to the chain. Positioning of the attachment on the saw may be effected by removing or loosening the saw handle and sliding the attachment onto it and then refastening the handle. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the attachment may be fastened to the saw handle without the need for loosening or removing the handle.
