Makita EA3601...the most intriguing saw to date

[LittleLebowski]

like we have a choice in the world.

Pretty much. However, if it's between "made in China and profits going to a Chinese company that copied another company's design" and "made in China and profits going to a European or American company that created the design themselves," there definitely is a lesser evil there. Also, I agree with you; I would prefer buying a Dolmar made in Germany. I own two and love them.

You can have a look here, although specifications are divergent on both homepages.

The 3601 seems like a very nice saw. If made in Germany, Japan, or USA I might be scheming to get one. Or, if I found a good deal on a used one since the commies have already made their money from it. Makita sells a sweet little top handle that is made in Japan, I think by Yamabiko. It's not officially available here but you can buy one on Fleabay, I wonder if it is the same as the Echo CS-271?

I dont think you will be scheming to get a 3601.....

No. In any event, my Echo CS-400 has me covered in that department, made in the USA for about the same price. The 3601 is a neat design though.

Lol I was just thinking that the 3601 and cs400 would be somewhat competitive on the consumer level. That would be a cool side by side. The 400 has earned a almost cult following by some. I would like to use one for a few weeks.

I don't believe its made in any of your 3 choice destinations. This is the one we get here...Dolmar don't even have it in the catalogue .

So far it's a little cold blooded, but every time I run it it gets stronger, and it's still stock. Impressive little bugger!

Also another important part of your statement if the company concerned has there own premise with there own stringent management then it's a better scenario

I know in Germany each Dolmar product is started and finished by one person

I did a quick muffler mod to one of them. Guy picked up the saw and took it to Memphis with him.
