I have their 12 inch CMS and I like it though I have not owned another
brand. I got it when Amazon was blowing them out for $179 and it has the LCD
for bevel/miter angle. Hitachi does have a five year warranty. It is made in
China but every CMS I have seen from anyone lately is made in China or
Taiwan. If you live near a Lowes stop in and check one out. I would probably
considerone if I was in the market for a 10 inch CMS or the Porter Cable
dual laser or Rigid miter saw that is in about the same price range. In
general Hitachi saws seem to have a good reputation and are powerful. I see
that HD has recon Rigids right now for $129 though I am not sure what
shipping costs would be. --- Steve

I'm looking at a 10"compound miter saw on Amazon for 169. Yay or Nay?
