11.5 m/s ?

The 540i is 24m/s .

I was trying to stick to similar priced saws to the one the OP has purchased, and quoted the 120

 

The important thing is that they ALL have s significantly higher chain speed than the DeWalt (according to the specs)

May be stating the obvious but most of the saw specs give a chain speed. 

 

Einhell is 15 m/s, Makita is 20 m/s and some Dewalts are quoted at less than 8 m/s.  Guess which of the three companies also makes reputable petrol chainsaws?!

You are not trigger andy under another name are you. Who said anything about chain speed (not me) Must be that scottish air

Wash your mouth out with soap please!  I introduced chain speed because the OP stated that 'The chain speed is slow' with regard to the DeWalt he has just bought.

My little DeWalt arrived yesterday. First impression is that it's definitely a plastic powertool, feels well made enough for what it is but very, very different to a proper saw. The chain speed is slow, which does make it a bit bouncy if you don't have the body placed up against the work. It's very quiet and light. 

 

If you get one expecting it to be comparable to a small petrol saw for tree jobs, you'll probably be disappointed. 

But for mixed use cutting sleepers, fence rails, the odd tree limb, etc. then it's a more convenient option than a petrol saw and more powerful/capable than a recip. And very much cheaper than a "proper" battery saw.

You said petrol ! My spud ported 346 on a 15" bar driven by an 8 pin is considerably more than that ?

So we just need to wait until Spud offers a remapping service for the electric saws and it'll be a no brainer
