whats the difference between the 360 wes and 360 tes apart from the back handle? got a mate on the hunt for a carving saw and seen the wes is £275 which is cheap if its not a plastic home owner saw. thought this would be a good option for him if its as good was what people say of the 360tes.

I've got both and for done reason the tes seems heaps better. I have got a 16" bar on the Wes which might explain and its much newer so I'll give it time (got my yes 2nd hand) but gonna change onto a 14" bat on it 2mo so will hopefully notice done improvement.

It's still a good little saw I think but my tes just seems heaps better at the mo.

the Tes is £100 more than the Wes! please let me know how you get on with it on a 14''

 

thanks

Will do mate, haven't had a chance to change them over yet and only doing silky reductions 2mo so it'll be next week now.

Officially the 360TES is 1.50kW

 

and the 360WES is 1.39kW

 

This would confirm the observation above that the top-handle has more zing.

So I've used the Wes with a 14" bar and it still doesn't really compare to the tes. I still feel feel that it could give more and needs a little tuning tweeking and more time (its still quite new). I think it's a good little saw for its size and weight but the top handle is a little beauty.

It'll loosen up given a few weeks.

well if for carving you don't need balls out power all of the time then the WES shud do I guess?

Got a 350 WES that's only had an hours use since it was serviced by SPUD last year.

Also comes with a complete 350 TES engine inc clutch & coil & Muffler etc and a few other bits.

Let me know if your interested, I'm only a firewooder and have a 420 Dolmar so the echo rarely gets a run out..

Cheers.
