My Mac 47A has a obvious handling issue.. I wasn't aware the 261 suffered from the same problem
The MS261 cost a lot less than the 346xp here, but I am still not interested, because of the obvious handling issue.........:msp_smile:

I searched through some threads and don't recall seeing a ton of info re the 261 vs 346. Maybe I missed something.
Its all in the flippy caps, they make all the difference in the world!
Sorry this just struck me as funny if you have been on this forum awhile.:hmm3grin2orange:

They are both excellent saws, but I still prefer my 346.
Yes, this has been beaten to death a few times already......
Yes it has. I also find it odd when someone starts a thread, then does not participate.

What about the handling "issues" with the 261? Is this an inside like joke I missed or is there really something to it?

Really when did you get chance to run a MS261?
Try the smokehouse cheddar sometime. They are one of my favorites.

Not having handled a 261, I would have agree with Brad based on what I have read. I think it boils down to lighter and more nimble vs a little stronger, heavier, and not as nimble. But all of these differences are relatively minor and any advantage could easily be washed out due to dealer support. If you plan to mostly buck with the saw, then the 261 is probably a slightly better choice. If you are going to have a limbing saw, then the 346 is probably the better saw for you.
