 great deal, lots of power awesome portability .... just buy a better blade Sep 25, 2006
By Johnny on the Spot
"Johnny on the Spot"
While shopping for table saws the most important factors I considered were: value, portability, ease of use, and accuracy. After comparrison shopping I found this saw to be an incredible value at $279. As for portability this saw without stand weighs in around 53 pounds which makes it easy on the back. All the controls are upfront and easy to use and I had no problem setting this saw up right out of the box without the manual. The only draw back... accuracy. After attaching the factory blade and ripping a few boards I was fairly disappointed with my cuts, however realizing that the factory blade was rather cheap, I went down to the local hardware store and picked up a freud diablo blade and slapped it on and realligned everything. After that this saw cuts like a dream. In conclusion you get a lot of bang for your buck with this saw, I would just recommend upgrading the cheap factory blade for a better one.

Good saw for limited applications Feb 28, 2008
By Newbie Woodworker
First of all there is a universal truism: A good carpenter never blames his tools.
The Pros:
I have been able to produce several pieces of furniture for use around the house with this saw. The saws greatest assets are its portability without having to purchase aftermarket lifts (I can fold it up and stow it away against a wall in under 2 minutes clearing the space for other operations), its small footprint (approx. 30" x 20" without extensions), dust collection bag (for those without dust collection systems), fairly accurate / easy to use fence, 1 - 1.5 hour assembly time, and its price. Everything was aligned right out of the box, and the directions were clear during assembly.
The Cons:
A large part of the saws portability is attributed to its weight. This attribute is an unfortunate double-edged sword. Because the saw is so light, it has a tendency to move back when ripping long (greater than 3 foot) boards. Should you run into some resistance when ripping a board (like going through a tough knot) the saw will tip up and away from you (the additional foot provided in the back of the saw will prevent the table from tipping over however). The miter gauge requires you to square it to the blade each time you use it. The anti kickback splitter requires a large amount of adjustment to get correctly aligned each time you place it back on the saw. All parts are metric, making replacement difficult to impossible unless you order directly from the company. Lastly, as I am now discovering, you cannot upgrade the saw with aftermarket parts (i.e. no zero clearance inserts, no riving knives, no splitters, no featherboards, no miter gauges, no jigs, not sure about aftermarket fences, but I am guessing no on that one). You either have to find a way to alter the parts (like featherboards because the miter slots are on the table saw are not standard) making them more expensive, or, you simply build them yourself.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for something simple, ultra portable, and you plan on using it for simple ripping operations or just plan on pulling it out occasionally: this is your saw. For beginning furniture makers, this saw will make your entrance into the hobby a little more difficult than other saws would, and you would be best advised to look elsewhere.

 No more Hitachi for me Feb 07, 2007
By MAY
For the price the saw is not too bad but I was very unhappy with customer service at Hitachi. My saw came missing the two dome nuts for the hand wheels and a slightly bent mounting flange at the rear of the stand. When I called Hitachi customer service and explained the problem they suggested I send the saw back to Amazon for an exchange. I explained the saw would cost $99 each way to ship so it did not make sense to spend $198 in shipping over a few dollars of parts. The customer service rep said that was Hitachi's policy. I told her I would never buy another Hitachi product as I felt that was not fair to Amazon to which she replied "that's fine".
I have been a contractor for 35 years and buy tons of tools for my business. Stuff happens and I understand that but I guess Hitachi has more customers than they need. They now have one less customer.

Update: Because Hitachi would not take care of the problem Amazon sent out a new saw and told me to return my first saw after the second one arrived. With the new saw still in the box I set the two saws side by side and as I removed a part from the box I replaced it with a part from the old saw. After I was done assembling the second saw I realized it too had some flaws. Between the two saws I had enough parts to make a 95% saw so I shipped the extra saw back to Amazon and ordered a Bosch stand for my Hitachi saw. Now the Bosch stand is the best part of my Hitachi saw.

 Great Saw @ a great price! Feb 28, 2007
By D. Ek
"dano222001"
I purchased this saw as my first own table saw. After using my father's craftsman table saw for years, I moved out of state and no longer had a table saw at my dispense. I did a lot of research, and was stuck on purchasing a craftsman table saw. After seeing this saw, and it's price I decided to take a chance. Hitachi is slowly becoming a big player in power tools. I've used a couple of their items before (roofing nailer, miter saw). The thing I like most about Hitachi is how light weight (but not a "cheap feeling" light weight) their products are. I got my saw about a month ago, pulled it out of the box and set it up. I absolutely think this saw is a great value. This saw performs as a $500.00+ saw. The only thing I changed on it (as with any cutting equipment provided) was the saw blade. I purchased a higher end saw blade, and the saw gained even more in value. I recommend this saw to any "at home, do it yourself'er". This table saw alone is great for any framing cuts you may need to make, and if you change out the blade for a nicer one you can make any fine / finish cut you will ever need.

 A Ford is easier to work on than a Honda.... Sep 12, 2006
By Dr. John R. Walker
"pharmacist/theologian/woodworker/guitarist"
Probably the biggest problem with the Hitachi c10ra3 lies in its non-standard size parts. Forget about replacing the miter gauge, or getting any sort of miter slot accessory, because the hitachi slot is 5/8" instead of 3/4". The screws are all metric as well (which makes sense, I guess). This wouldn't be a problem except that as far as I can tell there's NO WAY to get the blade guard/spreader on the saw without taking the thing apart. In the process of which I managed to break (yes, break in half) a couple of these crappy screws. You may say, "But I'm not even going to use the blade guard." Oh, but you need to, because the blade is so misaligned that you'll have kickback with just about every cut. Look, it's probably not that bad a deal, but for the trouble it's given me I might as well have bought the $99 special at the local hardware store.
