[neiln]

Thanks shavey, I'll contact them later to see if their stock has been through the safety recall.  If it has, then wop can refund me.

The future Makita maybe ??

Gosh those big spikes look nice, if only I knew someone that could supply them.

If only I could have my saw back also

Morning Neil, Many thanks for your message. All recalls would be to do with a technical department so you’d need to contact them regards this. If you give us a call on 01908 211 678 and ask to speak with technical services they’ll be able to assist you further. Kind regards, MakitaUK

Bill those spikes I’ve been told are NLA in the EU but I’ve ordered five sets and some wrap handles from the USA so I will keep one set back for you

Those 'klingon knuckle duster' felling spikes are normal on the dolmar/US version, and from what I read they are awaste of space...or more specifically a waste of an inch or 2 of bar.  I've read they are just too big.

 

shavey, is that the dolmar with a makita sticker on it?

 

Right, ive pinged fastfix a message, i'm guessing the stock (if they really do have stock) hasn't gone through the recall but I've asked.  Since I paid WOP £10.56 more I've also messaged them....I want a better price or else I'm defo off.  TBH, if Fastfix really have got stock that has been through the recall, WOP are going to have to offer a very very good deal to keep my order.   the tenner saving will virtually buy a bar adapter and I'll pop into f r jonesy for a 24" stihl rollamatic, and a couple of loops of RS full chisel.

Yes they are big quite big but they look good   

 

That Makita is genuine it’s how there being sold now in the USA

Iv'e swaped panels round  on mine to make  multi colour  saws.

 

Like a car with a different colour bonnet.
