CHAIN UPGRADE You 100% NEED, Makita DUC101Z Pruning Saw - 1/4" Pitch Conversion

Much needed chain and sprocket change on the little makita 18v battery pruning saw / mini chainsaw. The chain it comes supplied with is a bit too big and aggressive and doesn't leave a clean cut when pruning shrubs or trees, so we are swapping it out for a much smaller chain which cuts fantastic and is a lot smoother.

I will also be doing a full cutting comparison video on both chains soon. Having used this new setup for a few hours already all i can say is WOW what a difference. Cheers for watching 👍

Hello Sir, always enjoy your videos because you tell your viewers everything that's necessary to know about whatever your working on or testing and nothing that they don't need to hear, like so many other channels just flapping their gums but not providing any relevant or useful information. Just wanted to let you know that bud! Thank you for your consideration and knowledge.

[@RJLmachinery]

@@AllGoodOutside Cheers, i try and keep it informative but I do end up waffling too much at times 😅. I'm slowly getting better at editing as well so trying to cut out all the nonsense. 👍

[@AllGoodOutside]

@@RJLmachinery excellent, thank you again for the fine videos bud!

I'm a nurse its 2:00 in the morning and I've never used a chainsaw BUT if I ever need to change the chain on a makita I now know. Enjoyed the vid

[@RJLmachinery]

😂nice one 👍

[@pomfrittbroccoli]

So very helpful! Thank you so much!

[@RJLmachinery]

👍

[@neilkenward1379]

Seems like a good plan. Could you specify the parts required for the conversion, so that I can order the right bits from chainsawbars, thanks.

[@RJLmachinery]

Search for panther mini conversion kit on there, it comes with all you need.

[@ozcountryliving4751]

What is the part number for the sprocket please mate

[@marcelc1408]

How much TG has your new 1/4 chain?

[@RJLmachinery]

Whats TG?

[@KNGwaywestdesign]

how is the oiling now? More 1/4 to sharpen... I'm looking for spool of .43 non safety chain. cheers

[@RJLmachinery]

Seems to be oiling fine, at least there are not too many teeth to sharpen on this little chain 😅. I need to start making my own chain i recon, the panther unguarded mini chain cuts well 👍

[@user-ue1uc6rc6h]

this star is not for this chain, you need a star for 1/4 picco and you have a regular star for 1/4 chains.

[@RJLmachinery]

Whats the difference?

[@user-ue1uc6rc6h]

@@RJLmachinery due to this discrepancy, the wear of both the star and the chain will be increased, the load on the saw motor will also be increased, and the chain itself will not be able to tighten normally, because in some positions of the star the chain will sag a little, and in some it will be too tight that the engine will not be able to turn it , as it was when you first set the chain to the tire with this 9t sprocket.

[@RJLmachinery]

This chain and sprocket combo was put together by a professional chainsaw chain company. It fits fine. Find me the correct 1/4 sprocket?

[@MrDelgrigorov]

Over 250$ for the set, while a chineese 74$ one do the job... no thank you.

[@RJLmachinery]

Cheap ones replaced every 6 months 😂 no thank you.

[@MrDelgrigorov]

@@RJLmachinery They are not replaced every 6 months for sure if you buy the proper brand.

[@ferencsamu935]

could you provide a link for the chinese ones on AliExpres?
