Thread: What kinda saw do I need

This is another vote GDG and his trailer load of saws.

3 for GDG.

Get the 10 inch Hitachi DD. It will do anything you will ever need and will last a lifetime if taken care of. I agree with the 12 inch saws being way overrated. I got a 10 inch Makita and it cuts wider boards and taller moldings than most of the lesser brand 12s. Also when you go to buy a new replacement blade down the road, your wallet will be glad you have the 10. Like the guy earlier said, too much blade runout and wobble with the 12 inch saws. Jmo. Hitachi makes some jam up good stuff. Jmo. Take it or leave it

Now you got to remember that we had to split logs before some of them would go through the mill when I was a kid.

Dont know much about the saws you are talking about DD but I do know this, if you get an elcheapo one that is the kinda cut you will get. Go ahead and get a good brand name saw and take the advise of the guys who are using em on a regular basis.

I'll take GDG advise. I've seen his work pics and the fella KNOWS how to do things and do them the right now. Got alot to do for sure around there. one thing I will HAVE to contract out is moving the Oven. We don;t have alot of counter space in the Kitchen and the oven needs to be moved, then a counter top made. That's down the road though

Hitachi makes good stuff. I have a Hitachi drill press and a Hitach router. My miter saw however is a Bosch and it is a 12 inch......never had a problem with wobble or run out and I have been useing it for over 15 years now. I saw a lot of white oak and that stuff will really test tools for ya.

Here ya go DD. more value in the sets.
