Mod Saws
I woulkd like to hear from Dennis or anyone else out there who puts lots of hours on these saws. In 94' I had a fellow named Spenske do a 044 and I loved it when it ran good. it didnt handle moving up and down in elevation that well but at the time I was running mostly just that saw. Anyway I only got a summer out of that saw around 400 hrs. Considering that I am used to 600-700 hrs on a pro saw that wasnt worth the money. I have seen 2 KD saws that didnt last a year in the city before becoming completely un reliable, air leaks seem to be the culprit maybe. But the point is a Madsens saw or one from Woods will have all the bugs worked out and run very well fgor around 700 hrs, now for a 100 bucks that seems ???? fine to me. So again I would like a no BS assesment from a production faller about thew longevity of these $$$$ saw mods.
