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.


Really? Table saw sawdust is hot enough to start a fire? Maybe that guy
needs a new blade. ;-)

That would be prefect for one of those 3AM infomercials. Right after
the guy with the ketchup stained shirt gets done fighting with his
tangled garden hose and bumping his shin because he couldn't turn
the light on, he can put out the fire under his table saw.
