Hitachi's sliding compound miter saw performed well in our tests but it lacks some essential features.
This is a good saw with some drawbacks. The trigger lock is best used with the right thumb, so left-handed operation is, well, unhandy; the rear blade guard must be adjusted rearward when mitering and it can strike the fences during some compound cuts; the tiny right fence isn’t too helpful, but the excellent left-side fence smoothly flips out of the way for bevels. The miter and bevel scales are cluttered but very precise.
