Hmmmmm.............Maybe I need to talk to him.....I still have a 335XPT with low use sitting here that cant seem to find a home....

That isn't very unique...aren't they all barely used?

It took a few years just to get the bugs worked out of it........My Dealer never wants to see it back again........It runs good now after a nice life on the dealers repair shelf.....

Ok. I've only owned a couple of 335's. I had gotten one quite a few years ago when i started putzing with saws and I could never get it to run right. The second one I got I never touched and ended up sending it to Gary. The general consensus is that they are very tempermental. However, rbtree runs them regularly and seems to like them.

That would explain why I have 3 dead 335's littering my bench.. and he runs the MS200T (and his last remaining working 335..)

In fact I got it from a neighbour brand new since he thought it was too small for his needs. He changed to a MS230 and gave us this one. If I would have bought a new small saw it would probably be a 339XP because of the 0,325". It looks ugly as h**l but what the heck.

Now stop picking on the Troll's favorite saw!!!!! Troll loves the look of that saw.......

I really like the 339xp, but it is not my favourite saw (MS361 is).

It surely looks a bit odd, but handling is just great - so I forgive the looks.....:jawdrop:



Make sure it is a New Edition one, if you consider buying one (the older ones were never offered in the US though).
