Well...I have this saw...and you guys should mention a few things that you missed...as for safety, you have the blade too low in the cut in your demo cutting...it should stick out about the height of the teeth to prevent binding and possible kick back, also I noticed you removed the guard, (I don't blame you, they're all a pain)...BUT the riving knife should always remain for through cuts!! The riving knife on this saw has an easy single lever adjustment to adjust it up or down. It's function is to keep the material against the fence during a cut, and is the single most important thing, if you're going to remove the guard assembly, to prevent kick back and the plywood cut shows it absent...the fence is fully adjustable, the clamping force of the fence is also, but a bit of a pain to get to and adjust accurately. Mine was way too loose out of the box.I have used the Dewalt, Makita, Bosch, Skil, and Kobalt, and this is my fave hands down. Rips up to 35" to the right, handles a full size Dado stack, (longer arbor)...and plenty of power for a jobsite saw. The stock blade is just barely OK, as compared to a quality blade like a Freud Fusion, and you'll notice a big difference with a decent blade. The built in cart is sturdy, and has an adjustable foot to help on uneven surfaces...this saw weighs close to 100 pounds, which is a GOOD thing for a jobsite saw. Well built, well thought out...recommended, especially if you can find it on sale like I did!
Have you seen their new brushless stuff? They just released their new brushless 18v sawzall and it looks sweet! Plus they just made an “affordable battery program” where the 3ah slim pack is now only $39.99 instead of like $80 or whatever it was.
Got the same model. After so many times of using the cranking handle for the blades the gears give up since its just made of plastic. Had to replace and works great again.
Just bought it at lowes 2 weeks ago...the deal maker for me was the massive size of the table ( up to 36" rip cuts )which I need for cabinet making... pros, massive table size, (largest ive seen in portables) stand is on wheels, on board tools the price was a deal breaker....cons very heavy @96 lbs., was prepared to spend 549.00 on the dewalt DWE7491RS, but this one at 329.00 was it hands down! For all this I figure I'd suffer with its weight issue to get everything else!
Andrew Browner they never do, more like tools inaction 😂 have never seen them use them on projects it’s like it’s a hobby to do unboxing vids of tools they never use . This channel would hold more weight if they were tradies themselves but I think their at best blokes diy try hardship that like collecting tools more that they know how to use them.
yeah i feel like the hours ive put just on my favorite angle grinder is more than the hours theyve put on every tool theyve shown combined.. than again that probably goes for everyone with a favorite angle grinder .... Mmmm Angle Grinder

@@AdrianHiggins83 So I'm thinking you should start your own site and show us how to do it?
Is this the kind of table saw you would buy for a small shop or a garage? I'm not really worried about portability, just don't want/need a huge table saw to start out with
Robert Dailey thanks man. My dad has a big cast iron cabinet saw but I wanted something a little bit smaller. Glad to hear it isn't going to limit me much
One difference between the Skil worm-drive table saw and the Hitchi (and nearly all other tables saws, for that matter) is depth of cut. The Skil is 3½" depth at 90°, while other brands allow only around 3¼". The deeper cut allows you to re-saw 2x4s, 4x4s, 4x6s, etc., in one pass typically (or at least theoretically). Another difference is rip capacity. Hitachi: 35". Skil: 25" (still enough to rip 4'x8' plywood in half). Yet another difference is torque. The worm-drive by its nature has more torque than most other saws. This could be a benefit when going through thick, dense, wet lumber.
According to the Skilsaw Website on the larger worm drive saw the rip capacity is 30.5 inches. The depth is important. How do you think the table surface is and the rip fence? Would you consider this saw strong enough in design to be a good shop saw as well?
I own this saw. Wish i had the dewalt. Fence is nothing like the dewalt and neither is the quality. Also has a defective soft start. I wish these morons would really review the saw.
Thank You, been looking for a good in-depth review on the saw for ages. Heard Eric talking about it but never seen a video lol. Looking forward to seeing it. Thanks
You know I have that table saw and I got the dewalt and Hitachi have like 3 more features than Dewalt. #1 more cutting capacity. #2 the outside support. #3 when off the saw. Stop very quickly.
Cutting capacity isn’t really an issue in most circumstances beyond 24”. I personally would be using a tracksaw for these applications anyhow. The support is like 6” extra, not sure if it matters in most cases. The only BIG advantage for me is a brake if what you stated is the case. Waiting for a table saw really sucks - I always do since I am safety nut. The components looks awfully similar and the R&P fence is a DeWalt patent. I wonder what the durability is like.
@Moon Pie sounds about right, with a few exceptions like nailers, Hitachi is always a few small steps behind one guy or another. I have a 7491 and 745, both are very easy to use and serves my needs.
I don't know, something about SawStop trying to make its system mandatory on all table saws. Personally I think The SawStop portable is an awesome saw!
Bosch came out with the REAXX saw 15 years later which is a better design, but somehow Saw Stop says they infringe on their patent?!?! I have a REAXX table saw and Bosch is not allow to sell those model anymore, had to buy a extra cartridge just in case that gets pulled off the market.
I think its really messed up they can't even offer replacement cartridges. Bosch should have refunded some of the purchase price to the people that bought it.

Have you had any problems with it up to date?
Any problems after a couple years of use?
Have you seen their new brushless stuff? They just released their new brushless 18v sawzall and it looks sweet! Plus they just made an “affordable battery program” where the 3ah slim pack is now only $39.99 instead of like $80 or whatever it was.
We should get some soon :}
does anybody know where you can find the dado throatplate/insert for this saw?
Boy does that look like a green DeWalt saw. Looks and seems to preform just like the Dewalt. Nice saw.
Got the same model. After so many times of using the cranking handle for the blades the gears give up since its just made of plastic. Had to replace and works great again.
After wat time ?

For all this I figure I'd suffer with its weight issue to get everything else!
It looks like a pretty nice and fairly compact saw. I like the extending out feed support.
i dont get this video it doesnt test or show any details just "hitachi sent us a new table saw it has a rack and pinion fench"
Andrew Browner they never do, more like tools inaction 😂 have never seen them use them on projects it’s like it’s a hobby to do unboxing vids of tools they never use .

@@AdrianHiggins83 So I'm thinking you should start your own site and show us how to do it?
Mr P I would if I worked in the trade, but my level of trade skills is a home gamer.
The rack and pinion fences are awesome

Yes
Robert Dailey thanks man. My dad has a big cast iron cabinet saw but I wanted something a little bit smaller. Glad to hear it isn't going to limit me much
Do the hitachi cordless framing nailer!
We did on Instagram or it will be posted soon
Have you seen the new metabo 10” cordless table saw ? Wondering how it compares to Dewalts Flexvolt table saw for power ...
It rocks! Europe only though ugh
Those are some fancy jeans!....didnt even notice the saw...
How does this compare to the new larger Skil Saw worm drive?
Hmm good question

I like that switch control
How wide does the fence go? I what's the widest rip cut you can make
It's 35" to the right of the blade and 22" to the left.
Dan A
Nice, someone that can actually use Google! Lol
This is basically identical to the DeWalt jobsite saw. Stand and everything. Right down to the fence. It's a green DeWalt saw.
moonman9j9 But it doesnt have the $300 dewalt logo on it.
I own this saw. Wish i had the dewalt. Fence is nothing like the dewalt and neither is the quality. Also has a defective soft start. I wish these morons would really review the saw.
Can you do a review on the dewalt flexvolt table saw...
We did I thought
Seen the one you did at the dewalt event not an actual review like your other reviews in your garage?
O, We will do it. It is an awesome saw.
Thank You, been looking for a good in-depth review on the saw for ages. Heard Eric talking about it but never seen a video lol. Looking forward to seeing it. Thanks
Looks pretty nice reminds me of Dewalt a bit. Thanks for review guys!
Can you guys to a tool box tour
The have done it before I can't remember which video it was. I
Yeah that's what I thought but I could not find it
why does Eric hate Sawstop?

What is the table made of plastic or aluminum?
I can't wait to tell Santa about this.

I like the rack and pinion fence. I am with you Eric, not a fan of how Steve Gass tried to force his technology on everyone. #TIACREW
Nice saw
looks good like my dewalt through #TIACREW
