Hitachi - Circular Saw C7SB2
This small, compact circular saw from Hitachi features and easy-access bevel adjustment.
Jan 02, 2005
The Hitachi is small and compact with comfortable grips. It was the favorite among those with smaller hands. The adjustments were easy to use, though the bevel adjustment slipped beyond the 45° stop. The dust-ejection system was excellent, and the table was sturdy and flat. The blade bolt is small, so be careful not to overtighten and strip it.
