I'm betting that Cut4's 268 is a 1987 model. They may have continued putting SE on the ID tag for part of the year, as they had been doing with the 266.

Easy to read those tags. The first number, in that case would be a 7, indicating 1987. The second two numbers indicate the week of that year that the saw was produced.

I went an looked at a bunch of IPL's and such, and I'm satisfied that there never was a model 268SE. All of the top cover and starter decals from the earliest 268 IPL are "XP", up until the open port 268 came out.

The 266 of course does show both SE and XP model decals, with the change taking place from 1986 to 1987.


I know all that, and that is why I originally was so sceptical to the existence of a 268SE. From what I have experienced about IPLs, I tend to trust the tags on the saws more - but I could easily be wrong...... ;D

Why did they make tags that read 268SE at all, if that model never existed?   ???
