Makita EA5600F review

[Canadian farm boy]

Cool thread Dan. These new dolmar saws are really awesome looking. I like how dolmar is pushing the new engineering and doing things a little different then the other saw manufacturers. Only time will tell how long they will last but at this point they are very impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing more testing or playing. Whatever you wanna call it. Lol

Pretty nice saw there Dan. Looks nice for a stock saw. Can you provide more on the Oregon chain? Pics?
What will you do with the saw? Port? Timing advance, MM?

It's new and will be out next year I believe. Here are some pics

It cut very well for stock chain, but will not be able to keep the profile with a file. I'll be converting to sq. When it gets dull.

Will the clutch cover plug up with chips or stay free of them.

I do think these EA-5600 / PS-550 are freeing up quicker than the 6100
Which took gallons of fuel to get up too full power

Have you take; a comp test yet

Oregon PowerCut 72EXL is the chain.

Is this saw filling a new nich in the line up or replacing an old saw?

Oregon PowerCut 72EXL is the chain.

Thanks Scott. A quick search shows absolutely nothing. LOL.
Must be top secret.

The Saw comes with 20" 3/8" .050 72 dl bar and vanguard [emoji107] chain marked Dolmar [emoji33], an interesting scrench, t27, and a RED screwdriver!

I gotta talk to them about Screnchs.

Not a whole lot of people know about this chain yet. Will be available to distributors and dealers late spring or early summer of next year.

SpeedCut is the new narrow kerf .325.

This is going to replace LGX.
