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.

After waiting for years to buy this saw because of all the great reviews I bought the one with the laser. I build furniture and thought this would be the end all of miter saws. First off, the fence was out of adjustment and took some doing to line up. After less than 3 months of limited usage, the electric brake quit braking! I took it to an authorized repair facility, they ordered a switch which came in defective. Then they ordered another switch, armature, and two other items and I got the saw back after about 4 weeks. Less than 10 hours of use and once again, no brake — it just coasts down forever which really makes it totally inefficient. I’d just as soon use my table saw. I contacted Hitachi once again wanting them to send my a replacement but it won’t work that way. I need to take it to another authorized repair place and have them go through whatever the proper channels are to replace this saw. Maybe since it’s “new & improved” I should have gotten the older, proven one or maybe because it’s made in a different factory. Whatever the case, I’m very disappointed with this saw up to now. Purchased the end of October and barely any use.

I purchased this for my Dad for X-Mas and he loved it! The laser was a nice bonus that he didn’t have from his previous model.

Flawless saw. Mine saw 8 years of tough duty before it crapped out, but was deadly accurate for about 7 of its 8 years.
