UP DATE. saw still runs like a champ. Have now dropped it twice both times from 45' plus. both times the shut off switch fell out and was lost. second time the lock on cover for air filter broke. Very durable saw. Run motul or amsoil synthetic and premium fuel at 50:1

UPDATE...saw is still running with no problems. Have 2 of them now. They mainly see duty bucking on ground and stump clean up.

I showed the pics to my g/f. She said no at first. Then I said why not. She said the stickers are different, the plastic looks different. I then pointed out the "core" of each saw and she said yes i do see it now.

A couple of you guys dont think they look the same...What are you looking at. come on. Ive never seen closer saws. Thats the reason it caught my eye. I was walking by not "looking" and noticed it.

My thoughts. I should have got my tach. When the muffler was off i looked inside and could see nice hone marks on cylinder wall and 2 rings. If the blue max revved higher the times would be closer. Used .325 chain. Outruns any of the off the shelf home owner stuff Ive used in recent years. How...

did test runs of saws..... I did a muffler mod and tuned the blue max. I took a carlton k1 chain, sharpened at 25 degrees, mic the cutting teeth they were all within .006. I used the same chain and bar on both machines for the test. I did a final tune in the wood. did not have my tach but I...

I read this post and I did not see what size oak you cut.

One must learn to adapt and evolve and pay close attention to whats happening in the world. Its not like one day we woke up and the cheap labor was here in America. It didnt take one day for businesses to go outside America. There are several reasons why the world and America is in its...

no matter how you look at it..I bought a china made saw because it was cheap and i was curious. that is the bottom line..well i dont have a lot going on either and i had 100 dollars to waste..i could have gave 100 dollars to charity but where is that money going..this is 100 on research...that...

I agree with some of this. It comes down to a couple other things as well. A large portion of consumers want cheap. meaning they price shop. If the average home owner can buy a "similar" saw for a lower price they will buy it. There reason is I will only use it a few times. Im going out on a...

This is true...as i stated in the first post.."same"...I knew exactly what i was buying. There is a reason this is at menards marked down to 100 smacks. Its not like any of us go to menards to buy a saw.

My thoughts were the same. IF it blows apart at 12k and injures me i may have a different thought..I dont want anyone to think I was trying to say they are the same saw...but more they look the same...,,

if you look very close at the pics the mold lines and such are identical..the plastic air cover is slightly different...from what i can see of the jugs they look like they came out of the same mold as well..the redmax has anti rubbers the blue max does not.

The saw does not pull the 20" bar like the redmax. thats why its getting a 16"....im going to set the rpms at 12000 after muffler mod and see how it holds. ...should be interesting....$100 is just a few cases of beer anyway.

i was looking at the manuals..the bluemax..10000rpm max...25:1 ratio...45cc...redmax..12500rpm max....50:1....49cc...I use amsoil syn. at 50:1 in all my 2 strokes. the blue max got the same mix..

I normally wouldnt buy something like the blue max but for $100 i wanted to see how it would do. very cheap back up saw. Im not going to tear it down to see how the internals are until or if it breaks. FYI ...The ms361 and g5000 are my favorite saws to run, the little 3500t is close. its so...

The g5000 was made in japan. The g5000 is a great saw. I dont know about the 400 or 4000. I do have a 3500t that was made in china. It has 16 tanks of fuel threw it . no problems.

the blue max is a china made....redmax is japan made....both of them have removal cylinders. adjustable oilers. fully adjustable carbs.
