This saw is $399 normally, but if you are a member of Harbor Freight's loyalty program, you'll get an extra $80 off right now, and if you join the loyalty program for $30, you still get a savings of $50!
Excellent review - well done! I bought one less than a week ago and it's meets or exceeds expectations! Will be upgrading the dust control (or lack of it :)) and making a zero clearance throat plate. Thanks for the helpful video, Larry
Paid $299 for my Hercules 12" Sliding Dual Bevel Compound Miter Saw last year during their Black Friday sales...I also picked up the Hercules 12-1/2" Thickness Planer for $349....the Hercules planer has 3 cutting knives on the cutter head VS 2 like most other brands have.
I have my Miter Saw mounted on a Black & Decker Work Mate right now as it makes it quite portable when needed....I have my old miter saw stand which I use if I need to cut long pieces as it gives more support with the slide out extension wings, but for the most part the little work mate is great because it hardly takes up any space when I'm working in the shop.
Probably the best overview of this saw! Thanks man!
Thank you! Hope to be putting up more reviews soon or other tools!
i’ve had mine for 2 years now . very handy to have the 12 inch blade with all the features. i mounted mine on the rigid rolling miter saw stand . easy to move near project . dust collection is never an issue since i o lot do wood working in spring summer and fall . hook up the shop vac . the rest is blown off with my leaf blower when outside . great saw for the home owner .
get the ridges rolling miter saw stand . great portable stand that can store vertical. large wheels. you’ll love this stand.
Great tip for buying extension cables 👍
Good review, ill have to look more into this saw for my shop.
It’s a fantastic saw. If you’re just starting or looking for a mid budget option, this has all the features of the higher end brands.
On sale on $299 day after memorial day.....$100 off!! I'm getting one tomorrow.....sold on all reviews I've seen.
That’s a really great price! Definitely get it!
I just purchased this saw and I love it. I am waiting for a coupon to pick up the Hercules miter saw stand. Good Review
It’s been a great saw for me for over two years! The stand is a great addition if you want to make it mobile, but soon I will be moving mine into a work table to where it moves out of the way when not in use! I’ll also be doing a review soon if the Dewalt plunge router so stay tuned for that as well!
Great review. I’m in the market for a saw, and I think I’m sold on this model.
It’s been a great saw for me over the last couple of years, never had any issues with it! I’ll be doing more reviews soon, so stay tuned for those and what else you may need!
I have that exact same song I love it probably the best song I've ever bought and I did not know that is made by TTI or I would have gotten it a long time ago thanks for
@sturgillshandymanservices9375 - I played the video to the end, and never heard a song. So please tell me, what is the best song you ever bought?
Hercules saw got them all whooped
Good info. Thanks for sharing. I'm guessing you either over rehearsed or didn't rehearse. Whichever one it was, try doing the opposite to see if you get a smoother delivery. And R E L A X :-)
Thank you for the feedback! Always trying to make better videos!
I don't know about the TTi comment, i seriously doubt that unless you have a good source. Lu Tools, Powerplus and SBD are what the internet suggests. I have this saw and do like it but if I had to do it all over again I would get a ridgid. This saw is made primarily for construction and is basically a dewalt clone. The worst part about it is you will need about 34 -35 in of clearance front to back which is right around highest in its class. It terrible for a shop but great if you are lugging it to job sites out in the open. Definately not a shop saw unless you have unlimited room which most do not even in a two car garage.
hes wrong its made by a french company
by Guilletmot Corp
computer software, nothing to do with tool manufacturing@@toolsonabudget7763
All sliding miter saws require space for them to operate, that's how they are....if you are buying a sliding miter saw you should have enough brains to realize they take up space and plan for that...they've been out for decades, so its nothing that should be of a surprise to anybody that they require more space than a non-sliding miter saw, or other types of saws that use a number of pivot points instead....The Ridgid would be my choice but I got the Hercules for $299, and my saw is on a mobile stand so space isn't an issue and never has been a point to make when I've bought miter saws in the past either....they're made to be mobile so having them slide and the rails and space requirement hasn't been an issue....if you want a space waster buy a radial arm saw. If you don't have room for the miter saw in a 2 car garage you need to clean the junk out of your garage.
@@wildbill23c absolutely wrong, it depends on the arm mechanism (some require NO space from the dimensions listed when they have articulated arms). There is a true disnction between using a miter saw for construction and for fine woodworking. What you are basically saying is all matter requires space...duh. No need to be smart with your comments dude. This saw requires the most space front to back in its class....FACTS! Go look it up smart guy! Definately something I wish I knew before buying it and I'm sharing my experience.
Once you make a beveled cut, you will no longer have a zero clearance plate. Just saying.
I still have the original plate for beveled cuts that I need to make
Made by TTI??????
Forget that!!!! I've had horrible luck with milwaukee tools and absolutely horrible experience with their batteries...specifically their 12ah HO batteries. Absolute garbage!
Thank you so much, young man good job explaining HERCULES miter saw. Their instruction manual is written by someone I don't know but it doesn't make sense. Like on page 8 it says on 2. Lock knob 239, on 3 it says bag 240, TOOL CLEANING 2. It says pin 89 on 3. It says plate 229and so on and on.
Which doesn't make sense because there is no number that could be found. I found two Krater pins and a black plastic threaded rod with a good turning handle. I don't know what to do with all. I WISH THEY WOULD DONE A BETTER JOB ON THIS MANUAL.
