DOLMAR made a rotoray engine saw in colaboration with Fichtel and Sachs.

Too bad you did not attend the show is Boscobel. I had mine there and you could have ran it.

Whats one of those KMS-4's worth anyways? Not like you can find one to even think about buying anyways. It's on my list of "Have to own" saws like everyone else on this site.

It is worth what the buyer and seller agree to.

Here's a vid of the Dolmar KMS-4, the saw they designed with the Wankel rotary engine:

Gotta love that rattle in the idle, definitely one of the most unique ones I've heard. Not a speed demon, but I think it performs pretty solid in the video.

I never heard about Pioneer developing a rotary though. That was an interesting read, thanks.

Were many of these Dolmar rotary saws made? I would imagine they are fairly collectable. How much would a guy have to spend to get his hands on one?

I'm not sure how many or what they're worth, but they probably fall into the "if you find one, sell something else to buy it" category.

That is well said. I agree fully. I received mine in a very honest deal. Both the buyer and seller were happy
