Query: Surprisingly good...

I didn't have high expectations for this saw because it was [low in price] and the bottom of the Hitachi line, but I was pleasently surprised. It seems like Hitachi cut back on the accessories to get the price low, but the basic saw is really nice. It's pretty powerful, accurate and easy to use. It really is more useful with the optional extenders (Hitachi #317542) but you can jerry-rig something together on a table. Really a great value. Note the fact that this is not a compound saw.
