Review title: AWESOME LITTLE SLIDER!!! 5 Stars PLUS!
Product review: I've owned this saw for around 4 years now and it still amazes me everytime I use it or tote it around. It's only a 8.5" blade, but the 12" cut is pretty significant. I mention moving it around, and that should be a consideration for sliding miter saw. I've used Deltas and DeWalt 12", and for the advanced home user or light/medium construction application the Hitachi can't be beat. Its compact, light, and powerful. The carbide blade that Hitachi gives you with this saw is outstanding. If there's one flaw... it's the same for all miter saws and thats the dust collection. Even with a bag or shop vac connected, it'll still kick out a bit of sawdust behind the saw. Parts are easy to get as I broke a handle a couple of years ago and was able to replace it the next morning at the local dealer. No regrets about 10" or dual compound... this is one happy user!
