I bought this same saw about a year ago at Lowes, I paid something like $150 for it. It’s a great saw, really smooth and comfortable to use. Works great for cutting trim boards, but I’ve also used it as a chop saw to cut 2×6′s, it doesn’t bog down one bit when cutting larger stock. It’s a little heavy, but to me that just means it’s built better. It’s also quiet compared to other miter saws I’ve used. This is definitely a great deal! I’m almost tempted to buy a second as a backup!
I received this saw as a Christmas present in 2007. I’ve used it nearly every other weekend since, and the only complaint I have is with the manual. This was my first miter saw so I wanted to be sure that it was put together correctly, but the instructions were nearly incomprehensible. But, since I’m a guy and am used to not reading directions (j/k) I figured it out eventually.
This saw is very powerful relative to other models in this price range. I had looked at the Dewalt saws, but didn’t really think the quality of construction was the same since Black & Decker bought them out a few years back. I’ve used this to cut 4×4″ treated posts and it slices through them like a hot knife through butter, with no motor lag at all. The sawdust catch-bag is a nice feature, but doesn’t catch it all. I wasn’t expecting it to, and having ANY of it get caught is a plus, and simply less clean up for me once the project is finished.
After receiving this saw, I did some research and found out that all Hitachi power tools have a 5 year limited warrantee. I’ve blown through 3 drills – 1 Skil, 2 Black & Deckers (guess I didn’t learn) – on my trip to the Hitachi brand, and will never buy anything but Hitachi tools from here on out. I would recommend this tool to anyone that is looking for a professional quality tool at a decent price.
