Great so far
Rating: 5
Have used the saw to cut 2x4, 2x6 and 1 x lumber. It has been smooth, accurate and cuts extremely well. Miter angles were perfect out of the box. Made some picture frames just to check and the mitered corners were dead on. The laser has been spot on with no adjustment needed.

Great Features & Value

Perfectly square right out of the box! Love the laser! Cuts are nice and smooth! Fence is sturdy! After much research and talking with a power tool repair shop, and a high end cabinet man I know, this saw is the answer. Great saw!! If you're looking for a saw this is it!!

Easy to Use and Quiet
Rating: 5
I had to replace my old miter saw after several years of use. The first thing I noticed is how quiet the Hitachi runs. No worries on waking up the neighbors at odd hours. The ease of angle adjustment is superior to my old Delta. Cuts were good right out of the box with minimal refinement. The supplied blade offers surprisingly clean cuts for basic construction. It's a little heavier than I wanted, but hopefully that translates into greater durability. All in all, exactly what I needed at a better price than other competitors.

Bought it for home renovations. LOVE the laser guide! Easy to work, can manage smaller angles without difficulty. Cutting wood flooring, baseboards, quarter round, even 2x6s. A pleasure to use, makes this job a lot easier!

great product

This is the second miter saw that I have purchased. I bought one in 2006 to do a home remodel and I bought this one for my son-in-law to do the same. I cannot say enough good things about Hitachi products.

Replacement
Rating: 5
This saw is a replacement for an older model miter saw I had whose trigger stuck. I have only used it a few times for door trim and moldings. I bought this saw because it was on sale and was double bevel model. I was comparing the double bevel sliders at double the cost and this one. I chose this because in reality it will cut most anything I will use in width and has all the bells and whistles I need. This saw is going in my woodshop and will be my primary saw for cutting lumber to length and then to a table saw for any other cuts needed. Over all I am happy with my purchase and feel I got the most bang for my buck with this unit.

Excellent saw. Stock blade cuts clean

I would give it 5 stars but out of the box it was a tiny bit off the right hand mitre stop. I just need to go through the tune up procedure. I really do love the way the saw cuts

Good but could be better
Rating: 4
Stepped up to this bad boy have a used 10" saw, which was my first. My first purchase I had to return because the fence would not line up correctly. This one was pretty much spot-on right out of the box. The things that kept me from giving an "excellent"; the laser is worthless in daylight, there is an over abundance of grease on parts that does nothing but collect dust and there's plenty of that since the bag might catch 15% of what the saw produces. For guys like me that don't have a huge dust collection system, having a smaller dust port or an adapter to accommodate a shop vac would be nice. I do love the fact that it's a sturdy machine. Handles anything I need to cut and the blade is lasting a long time. It seems to stay accurate with little fuss and must say I do like the color!

This was my first purchase online. Sales was great with price matching and communication was excellent. I was expecting a brand new product but instead what I got was either a returned item or a recondition. The the packaging was a mess, the item has a broken fence, there's a broken piece of metal that I don't know where it came from and the item has several scratches. What a waste of time.

Excellent product! Great coverage, blends in well and is a wonderful sunscreen. Does not cause breakouts! Price on Jet was the lowest too! Along with fast shipping. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for protection for their facial skin. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
