User Reviews and Rating
“We bought this same model years ago. I sort of claimed it, so when he needed his saw and my help at his house there wasn’t anything to do but get another one. I wasn’t this baby leave my house, I love the rotating table, clean cuts and laser! Since neither of us has great vision with eyeglasses and the laser we no longer waste wood with bad cuts.”
Karen, Amazon Customer Review
“I had to make a decision over the table saw or the miter saw. If you want to cut large plywood sheets then get the table saw, for household wood work, 90% of the times, the combination of a circular saw and miter saw would do the trick. Love the Hitachi product, got it with the Laser, which is a must, no setting issues, perfect cut. I built my entire workbench with my miter and circular saw. Light weight, small foot print, and the price is just right. Dust bag is useless, but that is not a big deal for me. Definitely recommended.”

“This is an awesome saw! My first use for it was when I was installing real hardwood flooring in my house. It cuts like a hot knife through butter! Very sturdy and easy to use right out of the box. I love that you can hook up a shop vac to help control the saw dust mess. I’d recommend this product to any one.”
