Hi everyone,
This saw was a replacement to my dewalt 12 double bevel saw.I had considered getting the dewalt 12in slider however I simply could not justify the cost. After reading the reviews concerning the Hitachi,seeing it at my local Lowes store (which by the way was 169.00 more expensive) and speaking to my father who is a professional carpenter ,and owns the smaller version of this saw, I decided this one was for me.
It arrived in 2 weeks which surprised me.The free shipping offered by amazon was GREAT. It came well packaged and nothing was missing ,bent or broken. It took little less than 1/2 hr to pull it from the box and made ready for action. One thing I didn't take into consideration when buying this was the additional space required.Compared to the Dewalt it needed a min of 6 more inches of bench space so keep this in mind.
The slide is smooth and pulls easy. I can make a 12 3/8 cut with no problems. The soft start is nice as the saw doesn't jerk when you pull the trigger. I haven't changed the blade yet so I can't comment there however I don't see any place to store the tools on the saw.
Things I don't like. The handle grip is not the most comfortable which sounds silly however when you are doing a lot of mitering your hand feels it. Also I hate the safety switch that needs to be depressed however a small strip of gorilla tape fixed that issue.
I also wish the aux fence had come with the saw rather than sold as a option.
So over all this is a excellent saw for the money and I'm delighted I have bought it.
regards,
Ray
