Very nice indeed...just a word to the wise . Worth checking the de comp on that sort of cylinder as a precaution. This was on a Makita 9010 and showed up on test . Im not saying there is a basic issue with them but worth a squirt of suds maybe. You may have already been there of corse.

Every decomp valve I’ve ever tested leaked . Brand new ones straight out of the box leaked with me. I lap everyone of them prior to installation

The one in the picture was failing at 0.5 bar while checking the saw for air leaks...I was surprised !

Did a search here for EA5000P, I know where a brand new one is (home owner) bought but never put oil or gas in it. Are they a good saw, what price for them?
I don't need it but,,, don't have room for more cars/trucks/bikes/wheelers/boats, ok could find room for another boat.
Would slide in saws now, xxx, 7900, 6421, xxx, ms171 see a couple holes.

This Made in Germany sticker was a welcome sight. Rumor has it the next ones will come out of China.

I was a little disturbed about as well. Bourbon seemed to lessen the heartbreak

I thought I heard the makitas were going to be made in Japan? Big difference there in build quality.

That hasn't been the case with the Dolmar ps 420 ..ps-35..and Ps-32 saws along with hedge trimmers ..line trimmers that iv had dealings with so far. Identical other than the sticker. Having there own dedicated production facility rather than putting out the product for tender is fine. The parts that the saws have been made from are the same. The Dolmar pro range of saws are still assembled in Germany .

mgr1 · May 19, 2018

Yes, dolmar pro saws are made in Germany. The home owner models are also build in Germany for a 6 month period. After 6 month the little problems are solved, they set up a quality control guideline and everything moves to China.

Any know if the Makita 520 44 mm piston ring width (top to bottom height) is 1.5 mm?

I'm trying to confirm as the supplier sent me a ring for a 1.2 mm width which ain't going to cut it..

ajschainsaws · May 19, 2018

Yes there was two rings for that range of saws 1.2mm and 1.5mm

Made / assembled in China is happening everywhere but the most
Important thing is the factory is built and run by the corporation producing
The products and makita have that covered
We got a makita assembly line over Here in the U.K. for the battery products
But there output isn’t enough to fulfill supply and demand
