Reviews:
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.
