[woodwizzard]

Me too, hope they have more than one:laugh1:

Did you order one of these saws Maxnaggle, quite tempted to get one myself at that price.

 

@Shavey, does the dolmar come close to that price?

 

Just ordered one, for those who can afford it, order two! Haha

[woodwizzard]

Same here, can't stretch to a pair though. Looking forward to it turning up.

Great find that one max and wood wizard have some fun with your new toys result!!

[woodwizzard]

Yes, thanks for the link Max, perfect timing for me and saved me £70

What's the bar size range for these saws, I'm guessing 16" to 24"?

For me and a lot of customers the 24" seems to be the perfect match with the size of timber around now but saying that I've used from 18" to 32" perfectly :thumbup:

Well I put it together today, not had a chance to run it, but the build quality looks great. Photos make it look a bit plastic fantastic but I'm glad to say that's not the case. Hopefully get it going tomorrow!

Alreet! I'm on the hunt for a makita 7900 after having used one and it being an animal..

The one I used was a dcs7900 I'm pretty sure, as it was fairly old.

 

How ever, I've found this sweet deal: Lawson HIS: Makita EA7900P45E Petrol Chainsaw 45cm (18") 78.5cc (Replaces DCS7901) + FREE OIL

 

But it looks like the model is slightly different (ea instead of dcs) and the specs show it to be down on the old model by .5 of a bhp...

 

Information is fairly limited, so I was wondering if anyone on here may be able to shed some light?

 

Thanks

 

 

If they had been selling that saw, at that price back in June - id have snapped it up, instead of my buying my 6401.... for £10 less

Only put half a tank through it and it feels really well built and free of vibes'. Looking forward to running it in
