Shoots

I listened to the sales guy at Lowes and bought a Hitachi that is, without a doubt, my least favorite tool in the shop. It was missing parts when I brought it home and Hitachi wouldn't send the replacement parts. Their customer service was horribly lacking. The table surface is horrible and it was bowed slightly so the miter wouldn't slide at all. One of the worst aspects of the design is that it really can't use much of a dado blade since the shaft is so short. The blade guard is a joke so I had to remove it just to get the wood to cut correctly. Overall, very poor design and build quality.
