Pros: Nothing, poor design and materials.
Cons: Everything. A terrible saw at best.
Comments:
Poorly made and not thought out well at all. Very poor throat plate design made it almost imposible to adjust. Blade was very hard to remove and install because of space limitations. Dust collection was poor at best. Side of blade was uncovered saw dust scattered out the top, bottom and most irritatingly back of saw, even with 1-1/2 hp dust collector hooked up. Plastic base was thin and weak. Unlike other better saws that have a stronger plastic base. Fence was cheap and light. Blade stops were hard to reach and slipped with use.
There are other better saws for the money. I replaced this saw with a table top Dewalt that does much better in every way.
Sorry Hitachi.
