    Like that I am still seeing fairly recent posts on this saw after years of it being in production. Have had mine for 6ish years. The reason why I purchased it was because of the features and the price point over the competition. I use it both in the field, and as my primary table saw. Has never let me down. Dead on accurate cuts. Typically in setting up the legs. Would recommend landing one side, picking up the saw on the other side, and then dropping those down. Will save your back.

    This saw rocks, and I just got it at Lowes for $299 - 15% for buying the floor model. One error in this review is that there is a leveler on one leg for uneven surfaces.....the soft start and brake are great additions, and 35" rip capacity is huge for a portable saw

    I used to have the Bosch 10" job site table saw with gravity stand ( great motor), but then I traded up to the Dewalt 10" table saw (DWE749) with mobile stand, the stand is so sturdy under load, it's worth buying the Dewalt for that reason alone, the back legs are angled way out, and it's like the saw is bolted down. Great when ripping sheet material.

    I bought this Hitachi. Lowe's had it in stock and I could just go pick it up and get to work. It was on sale and with a 10% off coupon, I got it for $289.00. These reviews are all over the place and seemed to only make decisions making more difficult. I bought a damn table saw, now I can get to work. I did read many of the comments. They will call bullshit fast on a reviewer. Love it!

    If I hadn't already bought the DeWalt 7491RS, I would have bought this.
    Cheaper at $329 at Lowe's and a wider rip capacity.
    Out-feed support too.
    It would have been perfect for the amount of use I give it.

    Regarding the Hitachi soft start switch issue. My saw is 2 months past warantee. I called Hitachi and the customer service rep said to simply take in the saw into a service center and they would honor the warantee and replace the switch. He also said they would send me a switch free of charge along with a wiring diagram. I am having them send me the switch as the install the rep described sounds pretty simple.

    Rob why do you like the DeWalt better? My old Ridgid just died and I was looking at the Metabo HPT C10JRSM next to the DWE7491RS at the store. I kept coming back to the Metabo and ultimately selected it. I liked the larger table, rear outfeed support, larger capacity, and slightly sturdier fence. I also felt that the quality was better. Now, this could have been perception because it looked like the floor model of the Dewalt had been left out in the rain because there was rust everywhere. The DeWalt does have a nice quick removal feature for the riving knife but 99% of the time I run with no guard but with the knife. I also noticed that the Metabo knife can be lowered below the blade level for plunges into 3/4 stock - Anything more the knife would have to be removed. I'm wondering if I missed something? Is the DeWalt just a better running saw? Thanks!

      Bro I had the same experience. I was comparing side by side at the store and the Metabo looks so much better. It just look a better quality. The Metabo was more steady than the dewalt. It also has a 35 inch rip capacity. Now that I am using it I'm very happy with the performance.

    At 5:35 min, you wished that it had a leg leveling system. The right, front leg has an adjustable foot. I wish that it also had a spirit level built in., but that may be asking too much. But most importantly it is stable. I found that for its price range, this model is well stabilized.

    Just a little sidebar Rob, I have the Bosch 10" table saw with gravity stand ( convenient, not stable), and i have the Dewalt 8 1/4" table saw with the rolling table saw stand ( very stable, and convenient) the bosch is the better saw, but I prefer using the Dewalt because the stand is so steady when ripping large sheet lumber, there's no substitute for a steady base on a table saw.

    @30smsuperstrat 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I tried this out in the store today. The fence had quite a bit of flex when extended off the table. It was sitting right next to the dewalt dwe7491. It's obvious that hitachi is working with dewalt on This model. There is more similar with these two then sawstop and Bosch , if you know what I mean. The biggest thing for me was the fence flex and the fact that instead of having the flip over piece like the dewalt on the fence that gives support in full extension it rotates. What this means is unlike the dewalt you can't flip that part over the fence while it's on the table ripping narrow pieces where on the dewalt it acts like a spacer to be able to still safely use a push stick with narrow stock. For a home diy or woodworker that's a disadvantage that could be worth the difference in price.

      A Concord Carpenter / ToolBoxBuzz that's true but those thousand people are a great durability test. The dwe7491 sitting next to it probably had the same thousand people play with it. I'm really torn because it has a lot of great features. Outside of the fence that felt a tad bit flimsy in the locking latches, could have been the setup, I wouldn't have blinked an eye at buying it over the Dewalt and using the $ 180 in savings for something else in the shop. But now I see this is coming and I'm like, no way ,lots of torque and a rack and pinion fence.

    Bought this at big box blue store on sale & because I liked the portable wheels. Failed after few uses, cutting soft redwood. I could not return because I waited after 90 days to start using it. Soft-start module failed and prevents reset. Part is back ordered 3-6 months. Look at all the 1 star reviews on Amazon and Lowes website same exact problem. When I tried to leave a review on Hitachi website for this saw, they rejected it, very dishonest on their part since I was warning people about their defective soft start sensor which will prevent you from starting the saw even if it's not hot and you wait 24 hours. There is nothing you can do except wait 3-6 months for this back ordered part. Hitachi customer support is bad, they don't care so buyer beware. This saw should be recalled. How is it they have parts to keep selling it in store, but can't provide parts for service and they have bad customer service.

    Great review! Hitachi has done a complete 180 in the past year; they've come out with the best impact on the market in the Triple Hammer, the most powerful cordless drill with their recent hammer brushless model, and have introduced some excellent new cordless nailers. I have the DeWalt 745 and have been on the fence between keeping it and buying a stand or returning it and buying this Hitachi. Either way I'd be spending about the same, but the DeWalt would be more portable since it can detach from the stand (but doesn't include dado capacity which isn't a big deal for me).

Within the first few months many of the factory tightened fasteners were coming loose. None of them had any locktite or even lock washers. The motor itself comes out of alignment constantly. At six months two of the welds holding the frame together snapped. On top of that hitatchi both through email and through referred vendors has now
    Confirmed that the daddy insert is actually a myth. Yes, I made one but the design of the throat is such that it snaps when passing material through it. Also, the power cord feeding the motor doesn’t actually allow you supply a full 15 amps to it so forget about even a 14 or 12 gauge extension cord. Spend the money and buy the dewalt. Buying the hitatchi to do any real work is like buying a plastic fork cut through a steak; it will get the job done for a few minutes, but in the end you may end up chewing on chunks of plastic.

      Good info. I was considering this saw but everything just felt a little flimsy to me. I guess my impressions were right.
      I actually ended up with the ridgid r4513 when it went on sale. Doesn't have some of the little features like soft start and braking but the fence is really solid and the whole saw feels heavy duty. Maybe I'm wrong but that's just my impression.

    Hello,
    Why do the miter gauge slots have their top edges beveled?
    It seems it is not possible to remove miter guage play using nylon expansion discs due to the beveled edge.
    Is there any good quality miter guage that can work effectively with the beveled slots?

    Don't know if anybody cares about this, but Lowes has been clearing out
    the Hitachi ($299) and replacing them with the same saw that is a
    "Metabo" branded. I ended up driving two hours to get the Hitachi on
    sale after they said it was there, to find out it was not that but the
    more expensive Metabo. Walked out the door with a brand new Metabo for
    $290 after military discount. FWIW the SKUs on the two saws are
    linked....hint hint. Good luck hunting these saws down!

I then checked to see if It was equal down the length. It was. I have full confidence in it. It is a great saw. The only concern I have is if I need service in the future. DeWalt has service everywhere. Metabo doesn't. It would have to be shipped. I saved my box just in case.

    @farmermike9262 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Real world comparison between rigid 4514 and metabo 10in. Metabos fence is not sturdy too much slack in the pinion fence when locked. All plastic. Very cheap feeling. Ripping 3/4ply beyond 28in the fence and support were very unstable. The stand were very stable is a pain in the ass pushing 4 separate pins. Basically it has great features poorly executed. Janky feeling. Overall I would recommend I as a beginner/budget saw. Has great power just dont think the plastic on fence and pinion are durable enough to last thru the years. The rigid lacks metabos features but is solid and sturdy overall. The out rigging of the fence for wider rips is strong sturdy and durable. Gave me confidence when ripping 3/4 unlike the metabo. Part of the table on the rigid separates and slides out to support the fence when ripping beyond 13in. Very nice feature that NO OTHER SAW DOES! Why not? Relying on the dinky fence and pinion alone to support 3/4ply common. Also rigids stand it foot actuated. No pins to pull. No bending over and its overall weight it 20 or so lbs lighter than the metabo. If the metabo felt sturdier and Amazon could a actually deliver it without damages(sent it back twice! ) it would gave been a keeper. Rigid out shines. Would rather gave a dewalt but not at their price point

  • @bradedwards1609

    Rob do you mind giving us all an updated review of this saw? Do you think it is still a close second to the dewalt, since the buy out of Hitachi? I am hobbiest and am looking at the metabo and Dewalt 10", just not sure the dewalt is worth the extra money. Plastic gears are concern in my opinion. Thanks in advance and keep up the great reviews.

    • @JerryElmore-p5q
      @JerryElmore-p5q ปีที่แล้ว

      If you see this, I just posted my comments about the saw and I would not buy another one of these saws. One would think the plastic gears would wear out first, nope. The threaded steel rod wore down the threads on the cheap aluminum or pot metal attached to the motor. The result is motor/blade will not raise or lower. If you can find a new motor that is the only fix other than a new saw. Will not buy another one. My son-in-law is thinking about a way to repair this motor......

    I bought the Metabo version of this Hitachi, pretty much based on the results of this video, and a few other videos showing very high reviews and recommendations. Metabo bought Hitachi, so it's the exact same saw with a different label on it. Having said that, I have noticed something that I cannot seem to figure out with this saw. The riving knife seems to be permanently affixed and cannot be removed or replaced, which presents a few problems. If I want to use a thinner blade, the wood won't pass the riving knife without binding, which obviously is dangerous. Also, if I want to use certain table saw jigs that require the riving knife to be removed, again.....I am unable to do so. Is there a way to resolve this???
