A measuring device for defining a cut location for a chainsaw, the measuring device comprising:
- a length indicator;
- an attachment portion for positioning through an aperture defined in a guide bar of the chainsaw;
- and
- a fastening assembly for coupling to the attachment portion and comprising a fastener and a magnet, the fastener coupling the fastening assembly to the attachment portion, and the magnet magnetically coupling the fastening assembly to the guide bar.
A system comprising:
- a chainsaw comprising a guide bar having an aperture;
- and
- a measuring device for defining a cut location for the chainsaw, the measuring device comprising:
- a length indicator,
- an adapter assembly coupled to the length indicator and comprising an attachment portion for positioning through the aperture of the guide bar, and
- a fastening assembly for coupling to the attachment portion of the adapter assembly to trap at least a portion of the guide bar between the adapter assembly and the fastening assembly, the fastening assembly comprising a magnet for magnetically coupling the fastening assembly to the guide bar.
A method of defining a cut location for a chainsaw, the method comprising:
- attaching a measuring device to a guide bar of the chainsaw, the measuring device comprising:
- a length indicator having an end,
- an adapter assembly coupled to the length indicator and comprising an attachment portion, and
- a fastening assembly coupled to the attachment portion of the adapter assembly and comprising a fastener and a magnet, the fastener coupling the fastening assembly to the attachment portion, and the magnet magnetically coupling the fastening assembly to the guide bar;
- and
- using the measuring device to define a cut location for the chainsaw, the end of the length indicator positioned at an end of an item to be cut or at a previous cut location to define the cut location for the chainsaw.
