Default Hitachi C10FL Tablesaw, Any Good?

I think you are off to a great start with investing in really good quality power tools like Hitachi. I own one after reading on really fantastic reviews (
http://woodworkingtoolkit.com/hitachi-c10fl/) and no regrets so far.


Not so sure I'd agree from the review.


Cons
Right after setting this table saw up, you will notice that the Hitachi
C10FL has a movable base that is simply just a base. It moves, but it
lacks the general smoothness of a movable table saw. It is jittery at
best and any ridges on the floor will literally bend the rollers. Thats
right. It happened to many people. Which is more than weird, since
Hitachi advertised this product as a €śstationary table saw€ť.

It weighs a ton, and it makes no sense to have a table saw of this size
and weight to be movable.

This table is also a potential fire hazard. The dust collection
compartment is inside the table saw, so you visually have no idea what
it is collecting. Sawdust that enters it is hot from friction so the
risk of a fire is ever so present with this table saw model.

Furthermore, the instructions that came with the Hitachi C10FL table saw
was literally rocket science. You absolutely need sound knowledge about
the operational parts of a table saw to get it going. Not the easiest
thing in the world if youre a beginner or use your table saw for simple
cuts.

It was also fairly pricey, and nothing can justify the price of this
table saw. Absolutely nothing!

Conclusion
We feel that the features of this table was €śbeef up€ť and didnt reflect
reality, at least, for its users. Many customers quickly found their way
into a whirlpool of woes using this product. To think about it, how
could Hitachi ever have released this table saw in the first place?

Hopefully, this old model by Hitachi will be relegated to table saw
history and be nothing than a bad memory. Today, there are far superior
table saws at a fraction of the price of the Hitachi C10FL. Both your
money and time will thank you for looking the other way.
