The new 90cc class makita

[huskyboy]

Yea ...any larger CC saw has to be able to take the leverage demands on it running the longer bars. No good making them fragile !
The 9010 is just a simple design and shape, some may say just its a "Plain Jane " . Now we know the saying "Less is More" ? well, maybe.

That 42mm stroke is anything but plain jane!

True, but you have to get under the skin for that + give a dam about the tech side !

That's why it makes such a good saw for milling.
And don't eat as much fuel as a 394/395.

Was wondering when you where showing up.

Does the 42mm stroke keep the RPMs down a bit?

Long stroke = extended torque range.

 

[huskyboy]

Stroke isn’t everything though sometimes. A 661 has more torque than any 660 I’ve ran... and it has a shorter stroke.

What blew my mind on the 9000 I picked up and sold for 200 as non runner was the double bar mounts.

 

[RI Chevy]

Well.... does longer stroke mean lower RPM?

 

[paragonbuilder]

Well.... does longer stroke mean lower RPM?

No, not in the cut rpm anyhow

 

[Hedgerow]

Well.... does longer stroke mean lower RPM?

No.. Just equates to better leverage..

All these saws must be pretty close though. Except for the big, big ones. Lol

I have heard the 9010 is very well built and I have always liked the 42m stroke. Everything I have seen from ported saw videos shows the 395 and 661 ending up the stronger and faster saws once ported but I have heard these are about the most heavily built saw in the 90cc class great quality look to it I may still own one one day to keep. Cool saw!!!!

660 what’s that? Never heard of her.

[GCJenks204]

I sure wish I was going to get a chance to run this one when it arrives on Friday but not looking like it will happen before it moves on to its next home.

And boy do they oil well.

The whole saw seems like it was designed for at least a 4mm larger bore.

Yep..
what’s a 390 bore again?
54?
