1Nice design, bad product  Dec 04, 2009
Bought this to upgrade from a conventional miter saw. Checked it out before using and found that the saw blade was misaligned with the turntable. It would have damaged the turntable inserts and blade if I had started using it. Don't know because I never used it, but it would probably would not have cut straight.

Called Hitachi customer service and got no help on service or exchange.

5Great Miter Saw for the price  May 28, 2009
I purchased this for my Dad for X-Mas and he loved it! The laser was a nice bonus that he didn't have from his previous model.

2Not Impressed Yet!  May 08, 2009
After waiting for years to buy this saw because of all the great reviews I bought the one with the laser. I build furniture and thought this would be the end all of miter saws. First off, the fence was out of adjustment and took some doing to line up. After less than 3 months of limited usage, the electric brake quit braking! I took it to an authorized repair facility, they ordered a switch which came in defective. Then they ordered another switch, armature, and two other items and I got the saw back after about 4 weeks. Less than 10 hours of use and once again, no brake -- it just coasts down forever which really makes it totally inefficient. I'd just as soon use my table saw. I contacted Hitachi once again wanting them to send my a replacement but it won't work that way. I need to take it to another authorized repair place and have them go through whatever the proper channels are to replace this saw. Maybe since it's "new & improved" I should have gotten the older, proven one or maybe because it's made in a different factory. Whatever the case, I'm very disappointed with this saw up to now. Purchased the end of October and barely any use.
