what are thoughts on the 201t

[Danavan]

Just want to know if I am alone in my thoughts on the 201t.

 

I have not bought one as yet but have had the chance to use one a few times & I have to say although I like some of the new features on it I have been left a little un-impressed as to its power compared to the 200t. I cant work out if this is old sch syndrome (remember the change over from the old ali 020 p to w ratio) or if it has something to do with emissions box ticked & a not being able to jam a tuning screw dr in to tweak.

 

As their is no way to tune this saw in the conventional way, dose anybody know if the plug in diagnostic thingy will be available for general purchase too to bung in with an ever expanding tool kit:sneaky2:

You are not alone in having "thoughts" about the 201T.

Can't help answer about re-tuning a 201T, but in the comments from the above link, Steve Bullman mentions having retuned his, so you could ask him how he went about it.

not really sure what you mean by this. it has the same 3 screws as a 200t, high, low and tick over

The one I have used has the same holes in the same positions but at closer inspection they are small plug points for an electrical male input for a diagnostic type thingy by the looks of it.

 

I will double check next week when I am working with that co again.

 

I may be wrong:blushing:

 

Not the first time

Check out Gnarlyoaks thread on the same subject. An older thread with lots of input that I didn't find before I posted this one:blushing:

The 2011 catalogue was printed in Jan the new models (201T, 201 back handle, 241) are not in there until the new one next year.

This happens every year as they are never quite sure when the new one will be on sale. They wouldn't want to promise something and then it not arrive, if you no what I mean.
