That link in you second post has an error in it too mate?
Don't know why some are shown with digital display and some are not............. its the same part number I believe, don't really care if it has digital readout or notQuote:

and type in "hitachi mitre saw" to the search box
it doesn't have a router option comes as a package deal saw + router
Yeah still not working but had a look at their store and found the deal your looking at on page 3 of their sliding compound saws?
The router is nice but is a 1/4' router (small) and depending on what you want it for is nice.
$950 for the saw looks about average through their range. $850 to $1000 for most of them except the Growler Special for $1850!!
I have a C10FS and the C12FS or the one you are looking at will be real nice mate. It's a Saw! What on earth is the digital display for???
Go ON ya know ya wannit FESTOOL FESTOOL FESTOOL cha cha chaQuote:

I had up to 12 guys working in my work shop and had 3 industrial accidents in 10 years. 2 of those was with a Router and one on the bench saw.
A 1/2 router will be a more solid in your hands device and less likely to flex the router bit, can do a bigger cut and do more damage.
Depending what your going to be doing with your tools a Trimmer would be handy though. But to be honest, an electric Buzzer, a Belt Sander, a good Jig Saw, a set of 18v power tools, a Good sliding compound saw, a T50 series fixing Gun and a Framing gun and your in business mate.
Best bit of advice concerning these little tools. Also add band saws to that.Quote:

‘Horizontal Log Bandsaw’ for the win!
Just scored off Gumtree a retirement legends bargain out bush.
A few dozen more guards needed adding and a risk assessment/operations manual created upon arrival back at the yard ;-)
Amazing the old school ingenuity out there, full respect to these old Blokes and huge thanks for passing it on down [emoji106][emoji106]

Hey Todd,
Long time.
Anyways mate, If it was me,( And I run my own HandyMan business now) I'd by aRyobi 2200W 305mm Slide Compound Mitre Sawhttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...019/01/114.jpgfrom Bunnings.
You will do nearly all cutting you ever need to, you could buy a few different blades for this saw, so you have a finishing blade for architraves (60 tooth), and a multi purpose(40 tooth) and an aluminium cutting blade.
If you have a slide compound, you never need another saw on the bench. If get a mitre saw, one day you'll need the slide and wont have it.
I was Ryobi everyday cant fault them.
But as always choice is yours
Hand held circular saw.
Makita LS1016 compound mitre slide saw
Triton work bench (table saw)
All were very useful building our place. The Makita replaced an old Ryobi drop saw I had which karked it a day or two after the framing timber arrived. Swore at the time about the unexpected cost of replacement, but looking back having a compound slide saw made many tasks so much easier, & some possible that I couldn't have done without the old saw.
