| Product Description Hitachi's' 8-1/2-inch sliding compound miter saw is a tried-and-true favorite with professionals, who value its solid construction and reliable accuracy. It has a 9-1/2 amp motor with an electric brake, 11 positive miter stops, and 4 positive stops on the bevel gauge. We like the big wide table, the hefty base construction, and the embossed numbers and markers of the miter gauge. While the sliding fence is clearly designed with easy adjustment in mind, it's less durable than we would like to see and not too tall. The blade guard operates smoothly and doesn't obstruct the visibility of the work--an improvement over previous versions that had a tendency to hang up. This saw was among the first sliding compound miter saws out, and its solid, reliable design hasn't changed much or lost popularity, even after several years on the market and a lot more competition. Due to its solid construction, it remains accurate after a long time on the job, making it a consistent favorite with professional trim carpenters and everyone else whose work depends on exactitude. People who want the accuracy this saw offers but need more thickness capacity and the convenience of a double-bevel saw may want to consider Hitachi's 10-inch sliding compound miter saw. --Brian Trinen |
| What Some Customers Thought
Contractor I know that there are probably better sliders out there but I had some specific needs that this unit filled nicely. Number 1 was compactness and portability. At 38 lbs I can easily get this into my van and up to the top shelf where it fits just right. I added an after market laser guide by Irwin - sweet. I just love it. I just got done with a pretty good sized crown molding job (I always cut my crown laying flat, using the compound miter). Every board just fit like a glove. I may be getting better with experiance, but it was my best job yet. I love this saw. But get the laser!
Superb little jewell I live in Santiago, Chile, and bougth this little miter saw from Amazon 5 month ago. I ended up paying 35% more than the Amazon price including shipping to Chile and custom taxes. Still less expensive than the price you get from a chilean distributor. It arrived in perfect conditions. I have been remodeling a small country house that my wife bought 450 miles from Santiago. My job allows me very few opportunities to go there but whenever I can, I load this small Hitachi marvell with other tools in my SUV and work there for two or three full days. The job is a pleassure with this saw, it cuts beautifully straight and in angles and the motor seems more powerful than it looks. I am very, very happy with this saw. I must add that I use it with a big 220 to 110 transformer since here our line voltage is 220 volts, and it works great.
hitachi mitre saw i'd like to get right to the point... i am a building contractor/carpentry contractor in florida. i use this saw to trim houses and install cabinetry every day. i've tried them all, and this saw outperforms everything else i've used in the past. |
