The Makita electric saw uses the same bar mount as an Echo, but you’ll get a 1/4 drive sprocket that fits your Makita.
Each kit comes with a Bar, x2 (two) chains, and a 1/4 pitch sprocket.
Adding a Panther 1/4 pitch bar and chain to your saw will reduce drag on the engine due to the decreased cutting kerf. This will decrease the power needed to cut through that gnarly branch…. In turn, giving you more free power to wield at your fingertips.
– Disclaimer –
“These Panther kits are smaller and less “robust” than your standard 3/8″ bars and chains. You must not apply any unnecessary force or leverage against the bar or chain. Doing so will damage the product”
August Hunicke has found when cutting larger diameter wood, the bar can start to bind. Not recommended for chunking down spars. Please don’t misunderstand, this is a sweet set up but it’s not the right choice for prolonged large diameter cutting. If you need a long lasting durable all-around bar and chain combo, don’t expect it to be this one. Use this for limbing and then switch out to a bigger saw for spar work.
