Hitachi 10 inch fiber cement saw blade
This is a great tool for cutting cement siding. I use mine in my radial arm saw and get very smooth cuts. With the radial arm saw I can cut the widest planks. The dust is much less than cutting with a regular carbid blade. I also use the 7 1/2 inch blade in a circular saw for rip cuts. I am also using Malco Plank Gauges for holding the planks during installation and they are very helpful. ... Read more

Surprisingly good...
I didn't have high expectations for this saw because it was [low in price] and the bottom of the Hitachi line, but I was pleasently surprised. It seems like Hitachi cut back on the accessories to get the price low, but the basic saw is really nice. It's pretty powerful, accurate and easy to use. It really is more useful with the optional extenders (Hitachi #317542) but you can jerry-rig something together on a table. Really a great value.Note the fact that this is not a compound saw.

Great Product

Good saw but with a few important issues
I've used this saw for about six months now and was happy with it initially.The saw is accurate and easy to use.

My problem is with the blade brake which began failing after about three months.The problem seems to be related to the trigger switch because I can sometimes get the blade brake to work by clicking the trigger once or twice.I've contacted Hitachi but haven't heard anything back yet.Hopefully, they'll step up and fix the problem in some way other than asking me to send the saw to them for a month or so to get it fixed.

The second issue is a feature that's missing.The saw only tilts one way.When doing crown molding, it's very convenient to have a saw that tilts both ways, rather than having to move the molding to the other side of the saw.Delta has a saw that is just a bit more expensive than this Hatichi which offers dual tilt - If you're looking for a saw now, I'd recommend the Delta over this Hitachi.

Used And Abused
You have here a top rated saw by Consumer Reports . That's why I bought it. After using it over a year, I agree with them. As a contractor- I throw it in the truck and haul it all about. This saw has light weight but strength. The stop positions are very positive, much better than the Makita or the Delta saws I own. I use this saw to cut framing and do fine moulding. You will love this saw!

False advertising
I drove a 2 hour round trip to get this saw and now will drive another 2 hour round trip to return it! The saw is advertised as being able to cut 4x4s (nominal) at 0 degrees. It WON'T because of a poorly designed blade guard that hits the wood before the blade ever gets near it. It is also advertised as including the extensions and stop as standard equipment (even on Hitachis own "sell sheet") but it doesn't. The extensions and stop are optional. Apparently Hitachi knows about these problems, but doesn't care and won't fix them. Their reaction was "Sorry." I could almost hear the guy shrug and roll his eyes over the phone. Fortunately I saw another reviewer's comment on the blade guard thing after I bought the saw (but before I unpacked it) and was able to check it out myself before completely setting up the saw. It went right back in the box. Speaking of the box, if you insist on buying one of these saws, you had better check it out before you leave the store as the packaging does little to protect it from damage in shipping. ...
