Makita EA3601...the most intriguing saw to date

[166]

Good...and bigger that a 5105 ?

Yes...

Do you think it has to be a DD or could you try a single D and pick up on one of the flats? I found and have a micro single D ..only 3mm across the total driver .

Double D vs Micro DD

 

[Simondo]

Yes...

Right then ..now here is the killer . Did you think it is going to be out there any time soon?

Double D vs Micro DD

Single D i have looks easily as small in size to the DD....wont need much to move the screw , worth a shot do you think, as getting any tool here is not looking pos.

 

[Simondo]

Yes...[emoji4]

USA only or do we all get them ?

@fordf150 the echo driver you talked about was that tuning tool
for the echo pb500 back pack blower, echo uk numbers are usually 6 or 7 numbers I think the number you posted was 91060

that I am aware of Echo never used that micro DD on anything they sold....thats the reason its a "until stock is depleted" item from them. Not sure why they ever had it in the first place.

Thanks for that it was just the local echo dealer had tuning screwdrivers but nothing on what size they where butte guy was only a screen watcher ,not clued up on machines at all so no joy there

 

[ajschainsaws]

Excellent...

We got some More money too spend

At least its not on "Shoes & Handbags " !!

I wanna open the exhaust up on mine but I won't until I find a silly carb tool.

The fit and finish seems real good though. I would say In some aspects better then my 421. Especially on the throttle and operator presence

If you can give me a size on the driver needed i will see if the single D might fit .

it looks like a nice saw or the build quality looks ok but i don't like the idea of its built in china supporting the communist.

So is the device you typed that on.

like we have a choice in the world.

Bigger than a 420...

Now I know what it is. How did you like it? The specs are solid, but it looks to be more a farmer class type saw.
