As a newbie to CAD, I'm confused about sprockets. I understand the differences and pros/cons between spur and rim types, but I'm wondering if there is some standardization among sprocket sizes?
For example, I need to put a new sprocket on a used CS-590 I picked up. It currently has a 3/8 7-tooth spur sprocket. Will any aftermarket 3/8 7-tooth sprocket work on my saw, or do I have to get one made for Echo, and even for my particular model. Same question for rim sprocket...I know the CS-600p drum and rim will fit the 590, but will any 3/8 7-tooth drum and rim sprocket assembly fit?
Seems like aftermarket (Oregon, Carlson, others) are available at a fraction the cost of Echo factory parts...hence my question. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any clarification!
