So, was gonna get the 550, but it didn't seem to have the go of the 346, as for the 560, Jesus what a saw!! Cost me £100 more!

Was the 550 fresh out of the box or had it been run a few days? I've not used a standard 346 that's anywhere near the performance of a 550 yet.

It was a demo saw, well run in, but I didn't have the go of my 346

Haha possibly, I've seen a few vids too of stock 346's out cutting 550s, I think it's a lot to do with the user, and how the saw beds in, I think mine may have developed a bit more than the stated power

Know what you mean, I know of a completely standard 357xpg that will outcut any other standard 357 I've encountered and no one knows why.

 

I'm not totally anti 346, I just couldn't bring myself to buy one when my old 353 wanted retiring as they were really starting to feel dated and just not that robust compared to the earlier ones.

Fair enough, I liked my 346, just had a nasty tendency to roll over if you didn't watch it constantly, and whilst on the subject of out cutting saws, I used a 362 ages ago, and I thought the 357 i worked on could easily out-cut it, despite being roughly the same age!
