What happens here

Begin by familiarizing yourself with the various components of a chainsaw chain. The drive link is the part that fits into the chainsaw bar. Tie straps connect the links, secured by rivets. The cutter tooth is the sharp part that cuts the wood, and its depth is controlled by the raker, also known as the depth gauge. Identify the side plate, the top plate, and most importantly, the working corner, which is the tip of the cutter tooth responsible for the actual cutting action. Understanding these parts is crucial for proper maintenance and sharpening.

Goal: Understand the different parts of a chainsaw chain.
