OK some are made for the videos and some are not.Things just fell into place and here is my first video. The original video is much clearer that the tube version.I had an old chain but it did do the job.Red Oak, Ken

It's a good saw, I have one and use it often. As long as I keep my chain sharp, it will cut just fine. The only thing I don't like is only having one bar bolt.

Good question - looked like it was quite dull!

It could also be that the rakers are way too high. opcorn:

Listen to this man! He know's his stuff.
I liked the sound also but was quite disappointed with the progress. There is a saying in German: A lot of noise about nothing.

what chain on a 445?

My 435 came with .325 NK H30, seems to a good choice for lighter saws.
I got around to starting the older 52 cc Makita DCS 520 earlier, have
it rigged with a .325 NK B&C from Baileys and a 8 pin rim, it will rip through
limbs like slicing bologna.

The H30/95VP is the stock chain on the 445, and it basically is a good choise on that model. The chain model is not the problem - but he said it was an old one, so lack of proper filing probably is!

This was more of an experiment just to see if I had the knowledge to make a video. Yes this was an old chain, however the camera I was using is well past it's prime.I use this one to trim fence posts ext. Prior to turning on the camera, I cut three limbs that were on the ground. I may have tagged something.Ken

i'm pretty happy with my 445, it's a nice little saw. bought it before i had much else and i like my 25+ year old bigger huskies but this one always runs and it may take a little longer but it gets through anything you want it to, has some nice features too. i was skeptical of the single bar nut but haven't had a problem so far. otherwise it has a good set of nuts.....with a sharp chain.
