1st Customer Review : I don't recommend this one
I purchased this saw from Lowe's. About 3 days after purchasing the saw the scale that shows the bevel angle fell off. I must have swept it up with sawdust and threw it away because I never found it. I e-mailed Hitachi, told them what happened, and asked them for a replacement. This was over a year ago. No reply. It's really unbelievable that this little scale is simply glued onto the saw and not scribed onto the frame.
I purchased the 90 tooth blade and I don't know if it's the saw or the blade but there is quite a bit of wobble in the blade. No matter how securely you hold the stock down, every now and this due to blade wobble it will jam. I know how to use a miter saw so it's not user error.
Finally I found it impossible to get this thing calibrated properly. The set up mechanism is badly designed and the fences are not straight! That's right. I don't know if it's the constant jamming or the manufacturing but the fences are both curved a bit. I've...

2nd Customer Review : So far so good
I purchased this saw a few days ago to build some shelves and a work bench. I did a lot of shopping around to find the best value 12" saw. This Hitachi was competitively priced with similar saws from Craftsman, Ryobi but seemed a little better built and had a 5 year warranty.
Unlike the previous reviewer, mine came aligned perfectly right out of the box. The fences and blade were square, and the laser was even accurate (it's also quite easy to align should it ever need it later). Wary of the previous review, I specifically looked into how the bevel guage was attached before purchase, and can't for the life of me see how it would ever fall off.
So far it's cut through plenty 2x4 and 4x4 lumber with ease, producing nice clean cuts. The included blade (44 tooth IIRC) seems perfectly adequate for framing. I'll be getting a second higher tooth-count blade when I get around to doing floors and molding.
Pros:
- Competitively priced
-...
3rd Customer Review : Outstanding!
I am a contractor of 30 years and I had been using a old 10 inch Delta chop box when doing trim work. One day before starting a full house trim out including full wood floors and ceilings I decided to get a new chop box. I looked at all of them and settled on this one. I am now almost finished with this big job and I couldn't be happier with this saw. I have probably made a 1000 cuts. It came perfect right out of the box! I bought a 90 tooth blade thinking I would need it to make clean cuts but havn't taken it out of it's package yet! One thing I love about this 12 inch saw is being able to stand a 6 inch board against the fence to cut a notch out. I use to have to use the table saw and that took alot of extra time. I should have picked one of these up 20 years ago but didn't want to spend $700. Only drawback is having single bevel but I am use to it. I wish it was made is the USA too.
