    Wasn’t it just an alternate designation to xp? Pre xp pro level? Just my poorly educated guess.

    The special was a closed port cylinder as opposed to the regular being an open port design.

    Closed port is a better performer. Here’s an idea if you aren’t sure the difference.

    Thought about it today. It’s flagged XP.
    Special seems redundant

    I checked my XP, 1989, no Special

    I checked my 268, nothing there either

    Is xp special an ultra rare limited edition saw? Maybe I’ll bump the bid up to $75.

    Best I can find, the 268 became the “special “ (being closed port w/better performance) for a while, then they made it an XP. Both saws have the cp cylinder.
