Title: Reliable, durable saw
Review: Have had this saw for upwards of 8 years now. Other than a very minor leak in the bar oiler line, it's performed very well. As a woodturner, I frequently rip through the side-grain of large logs (up to 30"Dx30"L) then crosscut and trim to roundish blanks. It's been a very good saw and worth the money.Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that it doesn't have the high chain speed of my Stihl 036 - which is like a hot rod of a saw. The Makita is more of an Accord or Camry - reliable. Oh yes, the "real" manufacturer is highly acclaimed Sachs-Dolmar.
