Customer Review: You get what you pay for.
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm not a fan of Makita power tools & the very few I have purchased, I have replaced with Festool or Porter-Cable. So when looking for an electric chainsaw I was surprised by both the price & the rave reviews on Amazon. I am primarily a hobbyist woodworker & turner, and this saw was purchased solely for slabbing wood for turning. I live in a city & don't even own a lawnmower, so I haven't the foggiest idea how well this saw would do at felling & bucking trees. But it made short work of slabbing (9) 30" long sections of spalted hard maple ranging in diameter from 12" to 18".

This saw is very well made, and as pointed out in one of the other reviews it's constructed in Germany (not in the Far East). In my opinion, it has proved to be worth the investment. The saw is well balanced and handles easily. The only negative point I noted was the chain adjustment mechanism is recessed and postioned such that it collects bar oil loaded sawdust while in use. So adjusting the chain requires removing your gloves & carefully clearing away the collected oily debris. I was paranoid about jamming adjuster with sawdust, so perhaps I took more care than absolutely necessary.

When selecting a saw I was undecided between the 14" and 16" bar. Ultimately, I chose the longer one. Based upon my limited experience, I'd recommend it. The saw balance is good, and the longer bar may come in handy. I suspect this will be the last chainsaw I'll need to purchase.
