Abstract
This invention relates in general to a measuring device for portable chain saws, and more particularly to a measuring device which is attachable to any portable power saw, for measuring the logs or other materials being cut, so that the cut section will be of a predetermined uniformed length. This invention is characterized by the fact that the measuring element originates immediately below the cutting chain, and can be pivoted to the left or right of the blade, or retracted into storage in the same plane as the blade or chain.
