Great Saw

I’ve had this saw for a little over a year and it has been used to cut hardibacker composite siding, pavers, block, backerboard, and I even did some concrete slab cutting.

Last week I did some tile work in my kitchen and was even more impressed at how accurate you can be with this saw. The tiles were only 1″x2″ and I needed to cut the 1″ tiles in half, and I needed about 10′ for just that. No issues and a nice smooth cut. And that’s with the original blade!

This saw has a lot of power and excellent visibility. And it seems to be built like a tank and I haven’t had any issues yet. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Excellent quality but should come with case.
Just received this saw today. Used it to cut out some 1/4 inch grout lines. Cut with ease. This little saw is heavy and well made. It is easy to use and powerful. I give it 4 stars because there is no case. Otherwise it would be five. stars.

Update 2-9-2010: Change from 4 stars to 2 stars.

1. No case
2. 7/8 arbor. All of my existing blades are 5/8″ arbor.
3. No tilt adjustments.
4. Ryobi makes a better one for a much lower price.

Probably not the best saw for the price. However, this is still a well made saw and very powerful. Hitachi makes excellent tools overall and I will continue to buy Hitachi.
