It's been said, that saw is overated. Maybe it's just a wannabe?

Nice! They are a great saw stock or ported. I just got my newest one back from Randy (Mastermind) today.

They are under rated. I'll take all of them I can get for $150 each!

This one is #2 for me. The 1st one I got from Neil and i love it. This one will be going to Randy. I love the 357 he just did for me and I'm sure this one will turn out great too.

They are impressive stock. With that many rpms, I thought I would have to be extra careful about pushing the saw in the cut. But mine seems to have some torque.
There are trees in Tucson????

The NE 50cc ones surely does.
I'll vouch for him on the trees, I bought one of them home to Snowflake and left the other one for him.There are trees in Tucson????

Yeah and the cactus aren't much fun to cut!
Not so many trees in Tucson but the mountains south of town are loaded with plenty of large live oak and juniper trees that you'll want some big saws with long bars for.

What ever you do, do not port it... it will leave your other saws feeling left out.

OK.. I have an nmurph tweeked 346 and a master minded 346xp, both saws are my favorite to run of all the saws I have had so far, and I probably could get rid of all the others and be happy with one 346. BUT.. that is crazy talk.
Does anyone else here prefer a ported 550xp over a ported 346xp??? I see the 550 is a little smaller and a scoosh lighter, but can it make the same power as the 346???
I have an 026pro, dolmar 420, 359xp, to compare to, no other 50ish cc saws to compare with.
I have no auto tune saws yet, I like tuning my old school stuff so far.
So kenjax, are your saws ported?? What do you like more about the 550 than the 346???

I believe it's like this. Stock goes to the 550xp & ported goes to the 346xp...

I think my recently masterminded 346xp will be my new fav! Holy **** Batman!!!
Mine runs like a scalded dog with 3/8 pitch and an 18" bar, cutting osage orange, locust, dead ash and dead cherry. NO ONE borrows that saw!!!!I think my recently masterminded 346xp will be my new fav! Holy **** Batman!!!
NO ONE touches that saw but me!!! Stays locked up at work unless heading to the woods!!!!

Somethin ain't it! I'm now runnin 3/8 on both my 50cc ones & .325 on the old 45cc. The old dog is still fast as hell!
