I just read (another forum) "Had a friend recently buy a Dolmar 510 some months ago. Has had nothing but problems with it and dealer states Dolmar no longer supports their saws as Makita has bought them out. Anyone else hear of this rumor?" Sounds like a bad dealer to me & I thought that Makita owned the Dolmar name for years now? I hope it's not true, I've been waiting for the need to get one. I've only heard good things from the owners of one.
Nice - I love my PS-510 - going on 7 years old and only issue has been a bad coil. The only reason I'll likely not buy another Dolmar is parts. They sell fewer saws than Stihl/Husqvarna and aftermarket parts seem unavailable. OEM parts are pricey - the coil was about $85. But.... the saw is a great machine and I've cut a ton of wood with it. Congrats! Cheers!
