I use my Hitachi the other day for the first time and the first and only thing I had to complane about was the miter gauge. I thought it was just a little too loose in the guide. I found nothing wrong with the blade, I cut some walnut with it and it cut fine. Yes, there are much better blade but for a starter blade it worked just fine.I am 64 years old and I had not trouble getting into the back of my truck, just roll it to the gate, lean it and lift. It only take a few sec. just use your brain and not your back and you will still have one when you get my age. With all that said I like this saw very much.
I just picked this saw up in like new condition with a cross cut sled, zero clearance insert, and a brand new Freud 80 tooth blade off of Facebook for 250$. No way I could pass that up. Can't wait to play with it tomorrow at work. Btw anyone wanna buy a lightly used Ryobi table saw? Lol
Love mine except for the distance of the left mitre slot from the saw blade....it's about 7.6 inches. It makes it hard to use a feather board or even find one that can get close enough to the blade to properly use one. Typically should be about 5.5 in. Good review Thank u
I just had my saw have the switch fail just out of two year warantee period. Called Hitachi and the CS Rep said I could take it to a service center and they would still honor the warantee work as it is a known issue. They also offered to send me the part and I could install myself. The rep said they would send out a diagram and he walked through how to install over the phone. It sounds pretty easy. I opted to have them send me the part free of charge.
i got one only used it 10 times but mad a mistake of not changing the blade and now it stopped and i am livid lmao but i love it still because i will diagnose the problem in a few days and be ok (jrb) inc best saw for the money hands down GOD paid 400 for me for it
Bought one. 8 months later, proved to be junk for a Job site saw. The breaker trips constantly, so it takes forever to rip 2x materials Underpowered next to the dewalt The fence is cool, but it’s not as precision as dewalt (the saw I before) It is lighter than the dewalt, and the and adjust knob is awesome In the end, I gave it to my dad, and he loves it for a home saw
Why do you suppose it is that the Dewalt has a much smoother fence movement system? I noticed the same thing on the big Skil Saw, the fence seems much more rougher then on the Dewalt. I'd much rather the Skil or this saw but that smooth operating fence is a big selling point. Makes it hard to decide and I want to purchase one ASAP.
USD's, here in the US, it normally retails at $569, everything above that, that you have to pay is import/export duties, and for the boat ride to get there.
Based on all the pictures I see of this saw, it appears you put the stand handle on the wrong side. I believe it goes on the left and the handle acts as support to large stock on the left side.
I agree, he just needs to mount the saw 180 degrees differently so the wheels are on the left side. Unless he uses the fence on the left all the time!??
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?
Hallo an alle :-). Wer hat schon Erfahrungen mit der Hikoki C10RJWAZ gesammelt und kann seine Erfahrungen mitteilen? Wo liegen die Stärken und Schwächen der Säge? Was kann man bei dem "Spaltkeilproblem" machen?
My saw is/was great! With less than 2 hrs use time, got it out a day or so ago. Set it up, pugged it up, pushed the start button and all it will do is hummmmmm!! Started looking on the net for help and suggestions, nothing worked, NOW I FIND OUT THE DAMN THING HAS BEEN DISCOUNTIONED!!! 😡 SHOULD HAVE PAIDED THE EXTRA $100 AND GOTTEN THE DEWALT - - -
Elias Cruz hey on sale at Lowe's for $329 now. - Aug 7, 2020. In ts called metabo now. See Jeff strot videos here on UA-cam he show tool and other deals.
The Toolmat Cruz ✝️. Hi thank You for the great information ℹ️, for one day I lost the special for this Hitachi Seton RJ jobsite table saw. I missed it. And a manager at Lowe’s did not honor the special sticker of 349.00 over here in California. Lowes had that special glow sticker after there was none in the warehouse and the manager did not honor it.. hop to know when this is going on Special so I could buy one and use it for my small HMS company God bless you stay safe my friend may God protect
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???
It's held in by one screw you can access from the bottom right side of the saw by removing a dust panel/shield. It's a pain to do. I eventually cut a slot in the bottom of the riving knife so I could slip it on and off without going through that entire process. There is a spring that simply needs to be pushed in with a flat head to get it back it.
While the Metabo HPT #C10RJSM may have a couple of changes, this review is still valid. Now, if you're referring to the Metabo HPT #C3610DRJQ4M; that model is in a different class of table saw as it doesn't come with a stand and it can be powered by plug or proprietary battery.

64 is not that old! It’s my age too!
Thank you I saw all the reviews about hitachi table saw, and most of all of you liked!
Sorry for the late reply Mack, I appreciate the view and the comment! More videos will be coming soon.
You do an awesome job reviewing tools! You should review more - maybe Milwaukee! Thank you!
Second that!
Just bought one and do not plan to use the base. It will go into a table. Look forward to using it. Great review.

Thanks. I'm gonna kero my eyes open for when it goes on sale again at Lowes
It will be interesting to see if Hitachi has fixed the problems with the soft-start switch and fence lockdown lever.
It will! I like the saw, but overall quality is not quite up to par with companies like Milwaukee or Dewalt
Me too!
model name changed and branded under Metabo now. Metabo HPT C10RJSM

@@ellismedavoy7314 nice to hear.
Good review. Well deserved like & comment!

What did you find out?
that's a like the coldest saw I ever owned
and it is easy to fix check the slow start if you ever over load it
Background music very annoying. Not needed. Either we listen to you or the music. But nice and complete review!
Let’s have you make a review video then

Switched to a 1o" Diablo 60 tooth....cuts like Buddah lol
Soft start electric brake AND overload protection ! Other saws don't have that.

i liked the last half of the video . the music in the first half was so annoying i skipped past it . take care .
ITs $569 at Lowes now. Just a year and a half later. What happened? Metabo raised the price?
You mentioned that the price on this saw is $329. Where can I get one for this price?
Is this the same as the Hikoki
In Australia, that saw costs $1000 AUD ($710 USD)
Wow that is crazy! How much is the DeWalt?
USD's, here in the US, it normally retails at $569, everything above that, that you have to pay is import/export duties, and for the boat ride to get there.
@@thetooljunkie9915 I have not checked on the Dewalt price in Australia, but somewhere between $1000 and $1,200 AUD I'm sure.
The Tool Junkie $1300 Aus For dewalt without stand and around $300 for the stand
I like the saw but you can't use dado blades without a lot of modification. Dado info in user guide is a single sentence telling you what a dado is.
Based on all the pictures I see of this saw, it appears you put the stand handle on the wrong side. I believe it goes on the left and the handle acts as support to large stock on the left side.
I agree, he just needs to mount the saw 180 degrees differently so the wheels are on the left side. Unless he uses the fence on the left all the time!??
Does this do well with a dado set?
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?
hey man hows the noise with this saw? Compared to the dewalt 7491?
Hallo an alle :-). Wer hat schon Erfahrungen mit der Hikoki C10RJWAZ gesammelt und kann seine Erfahrungen mitteilen? Wo liegen die Stärken und Schwächen der Säge? Was kann man bei dem "Spaltkeilproblem" machen?
Don't trust it, it will quit in the middle of cutting, Hitachi know the problem but supplies no parts. Don't waste your money!
What's the thickness of the riving knife please?
Where did you buy it? I can't find it under $500.
I bought it at Lowe’s during a seasonal sale. Summertime might be a good time to shop for it, as that’s when I found mine for sale.
Did i hear a cookin soul vocal tag?

Why do they say the retail is cheaper then it actually is
#covidinflation
Has anyone built a zero clearance insert for this model?
yes, 1/4" hardboard with some glue ups on the bottom, take the riving knife off, or enlarge depending on blade wight

It’s 499 now
There 600$ now
I wish it was $329...
good run-down but this saw has been superseded, you should think about pulling the post.
The metabo is the same thing isn’t it?
@@srlowpez88 Yes, the Metabo is the same saw and the same model #. It sell for $569.00 as of Nov. 3 2020 at Lowe.
