a couple were very underpowered for a 15 amp saw, they would grab the stock and pull it away from the table risking major injury. On the other hand ive used well over a dozen dewalt mitre saws. which has been the case with only a handful of hitachi saws ive used it was lightweight tons of power and accurate. i owned that hitachi saw your looking at and it was great, only reason i got rid of it was i needed a saw with greater cut capacity.
