Just a heads up on these Makita DCS6401 saws. These are great deals I just picked up a new one In the box, not remaufactured http://cgi.ebay.com/Makita-DCS6401-...ryZ20538QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Baileys has them in there flyer for $499.00. These are German made Dolmars! rebadged for Makita, No changes other then the name and color. What is nice is these saws use the same crank and case as the 7900 saws! And Baileys sells a up-grade kit to make it a 7900- jug & piston. If you want more hp down the road. The fellows on the Arbor web site are buying these and modding these for stock class saws. Jay
 
Getting one for under $400 to your door is a good deal. With the 7900 p/c you've got a 7901 for under $600, and can sell off the 64cc p/c for a few bucks to someone who bought a burned up HD rental saw.
