An Excellent Saw ! [Posted on 2008-03-05]
With this saw I've built everyting from furniture to trim work to framing additions. It has great accuracy, is portable and does everythig I ask of it - day in - day out for years already. I laugh when friends see it, then go out and buy a dewalt 12" because its bigger/cheaper etc. & then complain about the dewalt's weight, accuracy and power up on long extension cords. I've run into quite a few profesional trim guys using this saw - same story - the Hitachi 8.5" is a great saw.
Absolute work horse! [Posted on 2008-03-25]
Short and sweet. I used this exact saw at work for 5 years in a shop where 4 different people absolutely abused it. It ran like a champ and always cut true and straight. So given my knowlege of this saw, when my craftsman chop saw went down it was a no brainer. BUY THIS SAW! You will not be disappointed.
DESIGN FLAWS [Posted on 2008-05-10]
I've waited about six months before I wrote this review and I've put the saw through some work. The adage "you get what pay for" is remarkably true for this product. I purchased this at when Hitachi had a special for under three hundred. I also got a router. At the time I thought it was a good deal. Now I realize this will not be my final shop mitre saw. That says alot doesn't it.
The problem-this saw cannot cut a 4x4 without flipping. Without modification this saw cannot cut a 4x4 at all. In order to cut a 4x4 I had to permanantly take off the blade guard and bend the blade guard holder back(it is held to the body of the saw by a small easily stripped phillips screw. If this saw could cut a 4x4 in one pass I would give it five stars because in others respects it really is solid.
My most loaned Tool [Posted on 2008-06-24]
I've owned this saw for almost 4 years, and it has earned a quite a reputation among "loanees" including a professional cabinet maker and a flooring contractor. It's admittedly not the most feature laden, and you can't cut 4X4's in a single pass, but for me and my needs it just keeps getting the job done, time after time. It's my wife's favorite power tool, primarily because of it's light weight and quick setup. I've added a Forrest blade, removed the dust bag and rigged a vacuum port in its place. I guess a laser guide would be nice, but it's easy to see exactly where the cut is going to go by touching the blade to the stock. I was a little tenative when I decided to buy a miter saw, so I went for this model due to its low price and I couldn't be happier.
