“Wow, I’m wondering why I never thought about buying one of these.. Always struggling to cut 2×4’s with a hand saw, LOL. This is a great investment! It’s well worth the $140, I purchased it because it was one of the cheapest one at the time of my purchase. I have no regrets, This thing is amazing, I had fun building my shelves in my shed :)!”
Sergio Gutierrez, Amazon Customer Review
“I replaced a 12 year old similar Delta saw with this product and I am very pleased. I don’t know if it’s the difference between an old saw and a new one or the difference in brands but Hitachi wins hands down. The Hitachi cuts smoothly, is quiet and has very little vibration. I’m waiting on the rebate item but I’m sure it will be nice too. I highly recommend this saw, especially for the price.
