Good day, this was bought as a gift for my father in law who hunts and uses it to cut meat. I have not heard him complain about anything breaking yet so I'm sorry I cannot answer your question.

Barry: The model number of my Poulan is #1625 with a 16" chain and this chain was not the right one. it was 2" too long. I am not sure if this particular chain is the right one for your saw. The only place I could find one was at the "Tractor Store". That or Farm and Fleet may be a good place to look

Yes I do. Matter of fact I used it today. I resawed some 5 1/2 cherry. I also have resawn red oak. It does a good jobbut you'll need a different blade than what comes on the saw. I bought a resaw blade from highland woodworking.It has plenty of power to do what I want it to do. I don't think you should have any trouble sawing maple as I also plan toresaw maple myself. All in all I've been very pleased with the saw. Its pretty heavy so if you plan on moving it muchyou might want to put it on a set of rollers.

This is a tough saw and should be able to do it. I have not actually tried it myself.

sort of heavy and not worth the money. mine would not start right out of the box. when i tried to get the saw serviced, was informed that poulan does not warranty the cheaper saws.save your money, hit the flea markets and yard sales. find a saw about 10/15 years old. those were great saws. mine will not cut a 2" sapling side aways, but will cut some if you have your log/climb 90 degrees to the bar.

I have this table saw, and I bought this Dado set. I tdoes work, but you can't put a full 13/16 stack on this saw, with the throat plate. I had got a link, that Dewalt was supposed to release a throat plate in March/April for the 7491 RS saw. I am waiting for that. In the mean time you can get a 3/8 stack on and make cuts, just a few more passes.

Looked through my book and couldn't find the info you wanted. I can say this , it has worked perfectly for me the motor is a soft start which is nice, I have a 8 inch router that is no problem for the saw. It also has a very well designed safety system. I know some would discard this first thing. The one thing to remember is this is a light weight contractor saw.

i am probably not the one to ask about this saw. i really don't care for it and have since purchased an alternate unit. my problem with saw is different from yours, but still ends in the same result of an unsatisfied customer. good luck

Have never seen one to fit this saw. This has been a good saw for me overall but not sure if it would have the torque and enough power to saw metal.Sorry I don't have a direct answer for you. Would be very interested to know how you make out.Good luck. Just a last minute thought,try harbor freight .

I wish i could help you but the outfeed worked on my saw just fine. I ended up building an outfeed table for it since this being a bolt on addition as opposed to part of the saw was just not as sturdy as it should have been.

Yep, turned out whoever assembled my saw put the chain on backwards! Now that I've fixed it the saw works very well. I just hope I didn't cause any permanent damage running the motor for so long.

If it is the sane model I have you can buy them at Lowes. I think the length is not exact but they work fine because there is a lot of adjustment on the saw.

Yes. I bought one but haven't used it yet. I'm sure it's a good product. The saw is remarkable. It's rare that you get to say that about any product now a days!

I have the same saw. Check out Home Depot. I bought what's called a Universal Edge Guide. I had to do some minor filling on the mounting slots of the shoe of the saw. Works great!

Similar to other responses, it does seem hard to find parts. I found this website (http://www.remingtonchainsaw.com/gas_chainsaws/rm5118r_saw.html) that has the parts manual and if you click on the part below the picture it will take you to partsfor.com with the part you are looking for. I havent order what I need from it, but I dont think there would be any problems.

Sorry, for the late answer. I don't can help you. I sold the saw. Because the saw was not what I want. The Tracks are not really good. When you need the saw for business, the saw is not good enough. I buy a different brand, and I'm happy. But off course the new saw was more than the on double price. For hobby is this a good saw for a good price, but not for more.
