 Great saw - forget the rebate nailer April 13, 2006
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I am totally happy with my new Hitachi saw but I want to warn others about Hitachi's failure to honor their rebate offer of a free nailer ($100 value) when purchasing this saw last fall. Last fall, I sent in complete paperwork for the rebate within the prescribed period. I heard nothing for about three months. In early March I sent a second copy of my rebate materials to Hitachi. Yesterday (after about a month) I received my second rebate application returned to me unopened and stamped "Offer expired". Like the previous reviewer, I think Amazon needs to know this is happening. My initial reaction when I saw the "free nailer" offer was this is too good to be true. I was right.

The product works with ease and is very accurate. All you want out of a chop saw at a fair price. I am very satisified with my purchase.

My wife purchased this saw for me as a christmas present. I've had a low-end delta CMS for several years, and I was never able to get it to make very accurate cuts. It was fine for basic cutting, but now that we're getting ready to start replacing trim and install crown molding in much of the house, I wanted something that was going to give good, accurate cuts. I also wanted something that would let me make cuts in larger material, like 12" shelving boards etc.
Now that I've had the saw for a few weeks, and had a chance to play with it, I must say that I'm very happy with it. It is very smooth in all operations (cutting, and changing miter and bevel settings). It was set up accurately right out of the box, but I did need to adjust the bevel indicator needles to reflect that, which was a very simple process. I love how easy the blade is to change, and frankly I just love the feel of using it. You can really tell you're using a precision piece of machinery.
This is a great saw for the money, and I'm very happy with it. I expect it to last for many years.
No Complaints Here. Except, where's my rebate? January 7, 2006

This was my original review of the product. I have updated it since Hitachi did not send the supposed rebate that came with this miter saw. Now I am pissed. Just look at all the reviews for Hitachi products. I have a few of their tools and I have been happy with all of them including this one. For the price alone it can't be beat. And on top of that I am getting a free Finish Nailer from Hitachi. I used to think Makita, Dewalt, Craftsman, and Delta were the best. Sure they are good, and they are expensive too. And to think a brand like Hitachi known for it's electronics product(s) can put out tools like these should make other tool manufacturers go back to the drawing board and start thinking. Just go to Lowes and see Hitachi tools and you can tell they are well made and when you see the price, you may not look at other brands again. I have Makita, Dewalt, Craftsman, and I am replacing them all with Hitachi tools, except of course my Craftsman Compressor. ;-p.
Okay, I like this miter saw and the price is decent. It was $70 cheaper with free shipping when I ordered it in December 2005. But, it supposedly has a rebate for a free finish nailer from Hitachi. I bought the Hitachi brad nailer and the finish nailer rebate would complete it. I sent the rebate request and it's already the end of March, so where is the rebate? I ordered it from Amazon and they advertised this product with the rebate so I told myself it's a good deal so I ordered it. Who is responsible for delivering it to it's customer? I believe Amazon should contact Hitachi and demand that they send the rebate(s) to it's customers.
