Hi All, RL Blair & Busssaw, the Remax 3200 hasn't been sold by Brian & Jen for some tme now & the ony left available as far as I know is Jamie Dorean. The SC306 Echo has also been discontinued along with all the reed type intake designs they had as they don't meet EPA standards now & the new replacement is the 310s which is lacking as it doens't have an adjustable oiler but there is other ways of limiting the oil delivery also? I have a Shindaiwa 285 on it's way to test out & also want to try the Tanaka (model not sure) that Baileys is currently selling in there carving package. I want to keep the current Redmax's I have as it will be a hard time to find another match to keep up with the ability of detail & low vibes of this one!
Thanks, Robbin
