One reviewer said he was sent a 5000 rpm saw instead of the 8000 rpm saw. Is this saw the 8000 rpm saw?

Yes, the one I received was the 8000 as shown in the description. Very happy with it.

Yes, .043 is the correct bar & chain, I found the saw can use the .050 because my wife was given the wrong bar (.050) & the .043 chain with a combo at a local store which will definitely not work! Chain wobbles in bar, took 1 cut to figure that out, the bars look alike except the .050 is slightly rounder on the end. So I bought a .050 chain to match the bar & it works fine. Of these two, the bars & chains must be matched on the bar gap & chain guide tail. The Stihl 180c is a newer version of the 018c (I have one of each) both will take the above mentioned bar & Chain combos & also the longer 16" Sets.

The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite. It makes the saw quite a bit lighter, and probably more durable. Apparently, it also comes with a retractable hook. As far as the motor and performance go, I believe the two models are identical.I would base my purchasing decision on who will be using the saw, and how it will be used. If you need to make lots of one-handed cuts, or if you will be having someone that doesn't own the saw using it, I would probably spring for the mag model. If it's just you using it, and you are mindful of your tools, I think you will be perfectly satisfied with the $130 model. The $180 saw has a magnesium housing, rather than composite.

Sorry, for the late answer. I don't can help you. I sold the saw. Because the saw was not what I want. The Tracks are not really good. When you need the saw for business, the saw is not good enough. I buy a different brand, and I'm happy. But off course the new saw was more than the on double price. For hobby is this a good saw for a good price, but not for more.

No...mine was new when I received it.. This is a great saw, do not hesitate to purchase it. I have submitted warranty papers but have yet to have a need to use the warranty.

The label on the saw motor on my machine says "ASSEMBLED in USA".I can gather from that, that it probably was "MADE" someplace on planet earth but put together in the USA???Do yourself a huge favor and spring for the Makita A-90629 60 tooth blade.All I can add is that they have worked very well for me (both saw & blade) and I have absolutely no complaints with either of them.

I checked the specification on Craftsman 10" band saw Model No. 124.1400 in my operator's manual they are the same.

Jonathan, I ordered two of these saws and sent both of them back. The first one leaked horribly where it was not suppose to, and the second one, the blade kept coming off. I got irritated with them and exchanged them both for a Zephyr ring saw. I hate that I could not answer your question, but I DID NOT like this saw at all.

While I don't know the official rating, the performance of the saw equals or exceeds that of a mag77 or hd77.

I noticed it in all the detents which is why I returned it. I called customer support and they said it's normal and that no one else complained so they told me to "adapt to the saw". With my saw, I could move it at least a half degree in either direction when it was in the detent. I looked underneath and noticed the detent lever is made of plastic and it flexes easily so that was the problem. I couldn't stand the thought of spending over $500 on a saw that wasn't accurate or repeatable so I returned it. IMO, it's a MAJOR flaw. I don't care what anyone says. Companies are trying to save costs wherever they can and it's affecting quality. I would have gladly paid an extra $10 for a metal detent lever.

Uh, that last number is the letter S, and I came here with the same question. I want to think maybe Ezequiel confirmed.I just went to Remington's parts site and it says: "091371S Remington Chainsaw Chain Has changed to part # 10SC"

Brady, its difficult to tell without seeing both pics to see what you are talking about!!! The dbl handle and wide spool suggests its a 6001 ( the 1 being the left hand designation) from the normal right handed 6000...Without seeinf the difference you are talking about,,thats the best I can do...Sorry!! JimThis may also be a 6501, the 5 designates a "fast retrieve" ratio over the 000 models

Yes, .043 is the correct bar & chain, I found the saw can use the .050 because my wife was given the wrong bar (.050) & the .043 chain with a combo at a local store which will definitely not work! Chain wobbles in bar, took 1 cut to figure that out, the bars look alike except the .050 is slightly rounder on the end. So I bought a .050 chain to match the bar & it works fine. Of these two, the bars & chains must be matched on the bar gap & chain guide tail. The Stihl 180c is a newer version of the 018c (I have one of each) both will take the above mentioned bar & Chain combos & also the longer 16" Sets.

T, Got the new saw...everything looks ok but it does have the wrong label on the motor housing as before. Derek at Poulan is going to send me the correct one. It is interesting to note that on the bottom of the ES350 label, the name "HUSQUAVARNA" appears. I guess you just don't know who makes what anymore.... It's been good talking to you, hope all goes well with your new saw. Regards, Steve

The recalled saw is a different model. It is a floor standing unit, not a portable.

I also looked in my book and couldn't find the info either. I didn't see the information on the saw either. This is a light weight saw. I have used mine quite a bit over the years I've had it. I works great. I did find a phone number you might want to try. 1-877-bosch99. Maybe they have the info you want.
