- Yup, my old Mastercraft benchtop table saw finally bit the biscuit. After researching the various options, I finally landed on the Metabo HPT 10" Jobsite Table Saw. In this video, I go through the unboxing, assembly and initial thoughts!

I remember doing some research and thought it was previously Hitachi by the green casing. Built some one the best furniture with the tightest angles with a hitachi chop saw purchased at costco back in c1998. So I bought this. sale at local supplier but locating one in stock in So. Cal for same day pick-up was difficult. One available. Got it. The loose parts and the nuts and bolts could be better differentiated in the instructions as I lost the bag of bolts when unboxing...Actually was wearing my rings as well, got frustrated and took them off when I couldnt find the nuts and bolts. But once found, everything was put together in a snap. I didn't turn the saw upside down because....it will never be upside down and I didnt want some intial assembly to cause any unknown pre-stress on what may be an adjustment later/or many future adjustments because i stuck the saw upside down to put it together. If you can lift it out of your car you can assemble it wheels and handle first and then drop down the saw, angle the legs to get better access to the bold head that needs to be secured. I assume they specify it being upside-down so you don't inadvertently cut yourself or something.
When I first thought the bolts were gone I was very pleased with the frame for using on the ground or table.
First time I ever saw this rip fence design was on a Dewalt back in the early 2000s. Seems everyone does it similar now. I got an ol 1972 craftsman contractor saw that this is going to compliment...not replace.
Great video. Great tool....Hope you recouped savings since you were a first adopter years ago. Cheers!
Bought one too works great especially with the Diablo blade
Great choice
Have had mine for a few years and am very happy with it. The original blade did not last long and I replaced it with a Diablo general purpose blade and a DeWalt fine cut. Both work great. Learning how to do different cuts and more effectively use the miter gauge. I did polish the table surface and that makes a huge difference.
Hey what polish did you use? Thanks.
Bought one yesterday. Was planning to buy the 36V version but would have to buy battery and charger or the AC adapter which significantly increases an already high price. Got my corded version for $449.
I own other Metabo tools (Hitachi when purchased) and they are excellent.
Thank you for the how to video man 👍🏼
Great video!
I have the 36V version - love this saw. In mine originally riving knife was off to the left 1.1 mm and that's preety unacceptable. But I made some distances and now it sits perfect.
Also changed the original cutting blade. Now it's sharp as a razor and cuts much more cleanly. I chose quality industrial blade with little bit less diameter (250 instead of 254) and thickest as you can insert - (2x2.8 instead of 1.5x2.4). Highly recommend doing that and checking that riving knife if it is in the right position for your own safety. Cheers!
Yup, riving knife is all good, but that’s good to know that it could shift/be out of alignment!
My Metabo saw's riving knife stuck out past the replacement blade edge (admitedly-it's a thin kerf blade) which tended to catch on the stock...not good. Tried bending it but that did not work. In a flash of insight I created a shim (added to the inside of the knife where it is mounted in its clamp) using a post-it note and that brought the knife into alignment with the blade.
Ironically I upgraded from the exact same table saw.
Mine didn’t crap out at least.
I came to see how to use the fence. I was at a loss. I didn’t realize you just need to tug it. Seemed too tight like there was a release or something and was afraid to break it.
Thanks for showing how to adjust and check the blade for square etc.
I’m looking forward to having an accurate measure right on the saw instead of having to use the measuring tape for everything.
Great review
Thanks for a great video
I own it...works great with a new cmt italian blade
I have the cordless 36V version that also plugs in with AC adapter
Great and harder table saw
Thanks for the comment! What do you mean by “harder” table saw?
@@HeartToHomeWoodworking was supposed to say hardy
I had the same older saw and just upgraded to the same saw..used though. Had a broken fence lock lever $10 so the guy gave it to me for $40 with stand, rip blade, dado throat option...
I have the same saw and I love the saw it always surprised that they did not design a place to store the miter gauge ...that I have hardly ever used
There is miter storage behind the cord wrap. Look for 2 black rectangles about 1 inch.
@@hjeffwallace @2fuzy its there, but its crap. I installed a larger fence for the miter gauge, and drop it permanently into the "handle" on the lower left by the wheels. But I also have a crosscut sled that I use more often.
Hi~super, interestingm asterpiece.💪
Anyone else having a problem with the Arbor Nut coming loose due to the stop break when turning off the saw?
A question brother, how has the table saw served you today? And one question: I just bought mine, but I notice that when I press the brake button there is some sparking momentarily inside the engine. Does this also happen to you, or is it a factory defect?
Any updates on this unit? Any issues with the lifting mechanism (being plastic gears)? One of the TH-camr wasn't happy with the lock lever (broken after a month of use), did you notice any issues on this lever? I'm pretty sure you did your research before purchasing the unit, what made you still buying it? One thing makes me a bit held back is the plastic gears. DeWalt units have all metal gearing but the cost where I live is twice as much
Hey Tomi! No issues with the rack and pinion so far. I’m quite pleased with the build quality, despite it having numerous plastic components. The lock lever did come loose on me, but after a couple minutes of fiddling around, I figured out how to adjust it. My only other complaint with the saw is that Metabo could’ve easily made the outfeed support extend further, but chose not to for some reason. When looking underneath the table, you can see there is definitely the room for it. That said, I’m still happy with the outfeed table, as other brands, like Bosch, don’t even have one. Overall, I’m quite pleased with the Metabo, and I still recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable job site saw.
I bought the same saw , But when ever I I try to rip , the fence moves
How is it holding up? I've read a lot of reviews people say the fence doesn't stay square is that your experience?
I've had it for about 5 years now. Just noticed that the fence has moved a little. Might need to replace the fence but looking at other options too.
Did you get that at lowes?
KMS Tools!
When will the rewiev of the saw come. I am thinking of buying one and if it isnt good. Ill buy the Dewalt 7492
I was thinking later this spring/summer. Too much else on the go right now. Definitely won’t be for a while
@@HeartToHomeWoodworking thats fine. Could you give a yes or a no to it though.
@@henriknielsen1982 oh I still definitely recommend it to those who are looking for an affordable job site table saw! It’s no Industrial Saw Stop, but it gets the job done. My only complaints with it are minor, which include the following:
- dust port is an oversized 2.5”, making a 2.5” hose difficult to get on.
- Metabo had the option to extend the outfeed support further, but chose not to for some reason. There’s room for it underneath the saw. That said, not every saw has an outfeed support, so it’s already ahead of the competition in that respect.
@@HeartToHomeWoodworking thanks.
How do you like the dust collecting port?
It’s a standard 2.5” and fits well with my dust collection system. Like any table saw though, there’s a fair bit of dust that gets ejected from the blade itself, so unless you have like a custom dust hood or something, you’ll have to accept some dust buildup. Does that answer your question?
@@HeartToHomeWoodworking agreed. Cyclone system hooked up des get most of it, but there is a fair amount that still spits up from the blade. Always wear a mask and apron when inside.
What is the table height on that?
About 900mm
Do you know if this table takes dado blade?
I don’t use dado stacks myself, but any table saw should be able to accommodate them. The only hindrance would be the insert, as you’d need to make your own.
I don't think it is powerful enough
It does. I’ve had mine for 2 years and have a dado stack I’ve use with no issues.
Do use the jobsite saw for actual woodworking?
I've had this saw for 5 years now. In that time I have used it for multiple reasons, but the past 2-3 years have been for woodworking. In that time I have built numerous jigs and sleds to do the more intricate work, and its still performing well. Fence is starting to age out, so came on YT looking for options.
Funny this looks the same as the CT Maximum job site table saw
It does 😳. Only difference I can see is the push stick storage. I’m surprised it’s priced the same too. I would’ve expected cheaper.
You paid a lot for your saw ! Amazon has it for $ 450. 00 right now !!!
Never mentioned the locking lever on the fence. Damm you I've seen all the videos on the hitachi table saw and that lever is never even mentioned..
Can the riving knife be removed or pushed below table height so you can do dado cuts with the ripping blade? Can this saw handle a dado blade (how wide) and can you purchase different table inserts for dado and zero clearance?
The riving knife does have a setting that will go below blade height for dado cuts with a ripping blade. I don't own a dado stack, so can't comment there. And from what I have found, you cannot buy inserts for this table saw.
@@JBF_75 Thanks. Interesting to know about additional inserts. They say it will do almost a 3/4" wide dado cut. But if you can't purchase an insert for it, what good is it. I suppose you could try and make one.
Great review. But if you need your fingers intact, remove all your accessories when working with rotary power tools. Just my 2 cents.
Just vought this at Lowes for 450
I assume USD?
I bought it for $350 at Lowes a year ago
@@HeartToHomeWoodworking yes
If they’re anything like their framing nailers….. they’re junk
Lol
Thanks for a great video
