We are disappointed
3/5

Having to deal with a reliable saw is essential to my construction work. When I used this saw the first time, it didn't cut straight the head rocked from side to side rather than cutting 90°. There were a number of ball bearings that needed Because it had only been mine for a couple of weeks, it was all covered under warranty. I've been working on it for 6 months now, but still haven't found a solution. It was not possible for Metabo to ship it to be repaired, so I found a local company to fix it for me. It appears that there are around six of these with the same problem at the moment, according to the local tool doctor. A poor quality saw that is common. Rather than save money on it, I spent.

This saw is a great large saw at an excellent price
5/5

I worked as a trim carpenter for over a decade, before the Great Recession. I chose the Hitachi C10FHS, a very precise and portable saw that I found to be an My experience with this saw was so good that every carpenter on our crew bought one within two months of me buying In addition to that, it held up to constant long-term use A term used in a sentence. My choice and selection of this saw were based on my recent decision to go back to woodworking. As for quality, I think it's on par with what I experienced before and I am impressed with its versatility. I like how big this thing is for work in the shop. I don't go to the site every day since the truck is probably too big for me to take on a job. A DeWalt stand has been added so I can easily move it around my small garage shop and transport it if I want to. The initial use of the product has shown it to be extremely accurate, powerful, and excellent so far. I also want to thank you I was amazed at how cheap the price was.

The slider can fit almost in the same area as a normal slider A miter saw with a sliding head
5/5

My old Dewalt standard miter saw takes up a bit more space. The miter lock handle on my Metabo arrived broken, but Metabo replaced it at no cost to me. There was a small error with the fence, which needed to be addressed. However, the manual does not explain how to do this, so I figured it out on my own. There is a safety button on the saw handle that is hard to press when you are using it with your left hand. The laser is bright and easy to adjust. Performance is good, and the price is below average.

It was damaged when I received it. Trying it again, second time, the throat plate was out of alignment. Your team is out after 2 strikes! We used a different saw this time.

THE BOX WAS COMPLETELY OPEN WHEN IT ARRIVED
3/5

The top of this item was completely open when it arrived after waiting two weeks for shipping with Prime. IF I HAD LEARNED MY LESSON FROM AMAZON, I would have never bought large items from the online retailer.

This saw is a solid, powerful option for any Excellent saw
5/5

I'm very pleased with it. Set up is simple, the system is powerful, and lots of flexibility is offered. Despite its weight, it has a solid blade. There is a laser, but you lose it as the blade comes down, so it is not useful This is perfect.

That's still good to hear
4/5

I was worried about the quality being affected by the hitachi buyout. As of yet, there is no evidence that it will happen. In the history of chop saws, Hitachi has always made the most convenient and easiest to square machines. A trimmer's dream at a great price.

It's well worth the investment
4/5

Having replaced my Dewalt with this Metabo, I am very pleased with the product. It is awesome to have a new saw like this. Although the box was quite damaged, the contents were in good condition. We just got it thrown down at our front door by the delivery guy. It was, however, not damaged in any way. The next time I see this, I would do so.
