This is my first Miter Saw, and I love it. Works great, has plenty of power and the 10-in blade gives it enough flexibility for larger stock. Blade never slows down and just powers through the wood. It is so easy to adjust the angles. What a great price Amazon offers, plus free shipping. I would have liked to have seen a finer toothed blade / more teeth, but oh well. I guess for most projects the blade is good, but I use it for detail work. Comes with the clamp which is nice, and compound feature will come in handy.

The saw works well and is good for the price. The cast body base isn't very thick and the first saw arrived broken, cracked and bent near the hole in the corner where the saw gets bolted to a workbench. This may be because it ships in a small factory box that then gets put inside another huge generic brown cardboard box for shipping with plenty of room to bang around inside. One or two small pieces of brown packing paper are loosely put around the factory box but there's tons of sloppy room between the boxes and the corners of the factory box arrived crushed both times. This kept me waiting on a project for a few days and that pissed me off. Amazon shipped me a new one for free and sent UPS to pick up the broken one. Time is money though, and this poor secondary packaging wasted my time. Luckily the 2nd saw was intact and immediately put to use.

The instructions aren't very good, I would have appreciated knowing that the compound angle tightening thread on the handle that locks the angle once you set it is a reverse thread.

Other than the poor shipping and mediocre instructions the saw itself works great, I am doing door and window casings and baseboard trim with it.

Great saw, have not used it that much but very smooth and can't beat it for $100.

Needed a chop saw and as always, the 1st place I go to is Amazon. I had my mind set on a different saw, but when I was scrolling about, this Hatachi popped up @ a third of the price of any, plus free shipping, and a gob of accessories. It got to me in 4 days, a third of the expected $, and free shipping. Bonus!! I personally have great luck with Amazon. I don't think I'm alone. When ever I need anything, I look forward to researching and buying whatever it is on Amazon because saving money and having the best selection is as good as it gets! If you've never made a purchase on Amazon, try it, I'm not getting compensated for this, I'm being honest. Spending my hard earned doe on Amazon, empowers my spending dollar, in this case by 3-fold. Oh ya, the saw is fantastic! jeff

Nice saw for a nicer price. Picked it up for 99 with free shipping. Used for a few light - moderate duty jobs and it has performed flawlessly. Solid saw with a great warranty.

Wow! What a price at $99.00 and free shipping. Great product. Hitachi is a top notch brand.

Great saw for the money. Perfect for the home remodeler or contractor. This is an amazing saw for the money. If you are buying to outfit your own workshop or to please the weekend remodeler this saw will be a perfect tool to have on hand. Very high quality for the price.

My husband loves his new saw. He's in construction so needs it often. On the other hand the shipping dept. needs to be looked into. I'm suprised it made it here in great shape, the box was to flimsey for the product and was falling apart when it arrived.

This is not the same saw you get from LOWES. I bought the Lazer guided saw from Lowes for $99.00. and bought this one for backup because the bearings wear out in about 6 mos of everyday use.So I get the new saw out and first off the holes to mount the saw do not line up so it cannot be mounted on my Dewalt saw stand.Then I notice the saw is not cutting true with what seams to be blade woble.I look at the blade and see there are at least Three Carbide teeeh missing from the blade.I will Never buy another Hitachi product again!It's not the same product as It was 10yrs ago.The cordless drill I bought,the gears striped out withen a day.Contractors Stay Away!

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 4x4" 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.

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 2x6'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!
