I have used several Hitachi saws and found them all to be well worth the money. I use this saw for light commercial use and I really like the magnesium plate. Only down side is that it doesn't come with a case. This one is definitely better than the one they sell at Lowe's though. It is more durable than the aluminum plate model. It's nice to have a general duty saw with a blade brake too.
Otherwise it is a good saw. The depth adjustment is not smooth. Dust gets trapped very easily and makes the depth adjustment difficult.
Overall a great saw. I couldn't find any other saw that performs this well in this price range and has an electric brake. I can't find anything I don't like about this saw. Good power, nice feel, easy to change blades.
Very rugged and quiet compared to some other CS's Nice even feel. GREAT SAW. 3 second Electric Brake.
The feel of the saw was also disappointing though. Unfortunately, I can't rate its (Hitachi) operation because I returned it and kept the Milwaukee.I tried not to mention this, but the mint green color was almost toy-like. I was very disappointed with Amazon on this one. I chose this, and a Milwaukee 6390-21, and the Mil was clearly superior in feel. The old industrial green that they used previously was much better. The unit I received was clearly used. Worse, the shoe was slightly bent, and it seems that the motor was loose in the casing.
