I was fortunate enough to get my Hercules saw during a black Friday sale in 2019 for $299. I also got the folding portable Hercules miter saw stand at the same time. I think it was on sale for $149. I have been using the heck out of them since. Aside from the less-than-perfect dust collection, I have zero complaints. Mine was perfectly aligned out of the box. It has been a great tool and I expect to get many years of trouble-free service.
@@shampoo6563 Very true. However my dewalt orbital sander keeps about 80% from the air. I haven’t heard anyone else speak about it being so effective so maybe I got lucky. I don’t even use my air sander at work anymore because of the dust cloud. I’m really bad about wearing a mask.
@@josephandrews2353 yea I have noticed mine doesn’t fling as much dust around as my coworkers Milwaukee. The dewalt does do a really good job, maybe even the best compared to my coworkers Milwaukee, and porter cable sander.
@@shampoo6563 I bought Milwaukee’s 1st edition cordless sander a few years back. I was all excited as I unboxed it. Then I turned it on and used it. Right back into the box and back to Home Depot it went.
I don't think your fence was sliding... it appeared you didn't pay close attention to making sure your boards were tight to your block. For one group, there was probably at least an 1/8" gap between the stack of boards and your block! :)
get the ridged rolling miter saw sand . solid and very portable with 20 inch wheels. can store verticaly with the miter saw attached. i paid $160 . gone up to $250 but still worth it. better than the compact stands.
I'm planning to buy this saw when it's back on sale next month and debating getting that Ridgid stand. Hopefully it also goes on sale. I love how it pops up so easily. I did not realize you could store the saw on it while hanging it. Great news. Thanks!
My Ryobi 10" has been great for past 10 yrs. it's a little tired, and it's finally time for an upgrade. Picked one up this afternoon, it's a beast. First thing I did was check that screw that was loose on yours. Appears to be right on the money out of the box. Thanks for your video, helped me make a decision on the Hercules over the yellow/black brand.
Your stop didn't move. Play the vid back and you'll see that your workpiece wasn't pushed up to the stop far enough. But great and quick fix. Great video.
I just bought one today. Did the research also, and pound for pound, it is as good as the dewalt, but at about $200 less (even after I bought the 2 year warranty).
yeah man, I got one a few days ago. total beast. great price even with the warranty considering I had looked at the non slide dewalt in the same $ range.
@@braindamage_eclipse I bought one yesterday and it had a 5/16-3/8 pin in the hole for the miter lock knob. I had to remove it in order to screw in the miter lock knob. Did yours have that? Wondering if I'm supposed to use that pin somewhere. Thanks.
I currently have a 10” single bevel sliding saw, Tool Shop from Menards. Probably very comparable to HFs Chicago Electric. Have had it for 6 years, had a kickback that broke the safety shield over the blade. Menards is absolutely useless in finding the part number and I am to blame for losing the manual, my bad! The internet sends me to Ryobi saws for some reason. But I have been researching the Hercules miter saw. For my uses, I rarely need precision cuts as a don’t do cabinetry, but I want an accurate saw in case I need it. The cost of the Hercules is very reasonable for the quality and I will probably buy one. The other options are the Chicago Electric 12” sliding dual bevel or the Bauer 12 dual bevel. The CE comes with a laser and no blade. Bauer is a few $s more but has a blade, no laser, and does not have a slide. The Hercules has the shadow light, slide, and probably is higher quality. This review probably convinced me to lean heavy to the Hercules.
at 9:47 your clamp is up against the wood support bar and there is a gap at your stop block so that is probably the reason for the inconsistant sizes but it looks like a real nice saw please update us on how you like it in the near future
Nice saw Mark. I need a new one too. I want one that the blade slides and able to cut more than 6 inch wide board. Nice quick fix on the rubber vac attachment. I won't tell Vicki you used her stapler lol. Great idea with the wood jig. Great buy, great video Mark!
That saw looks identical to the dewalt 780. I am curious if you can use some of the aftermarket zero clearance deck plates. It would eliminate your tearout and you can more accurately measure to your stop blocks.
I’m a retired ProfessionalWoodworker now retired and that Hercules line at Harbor Freight does appear to be a decent Upgrade from their older ChicagoElectric Line it’s definitely trying to Compete with the Dewalt 12” Sliders which are IMO the most versatile Miter Saw for Woodworking but their failure comes with Age and Use because they do get Sloppy and knocked out of Adjustment very easily therefore for myself personally i Own and use the dewalt 12” DualBevel Compound Miter Saws for the Crew of 40 Installers i had Installing ArchitectualWoodwork i did use the Dewalt Sliders , and i tried to keep them Tuned Up and dialed in FYI my personal Saw does not get transported very often unless it’s done by myself carefully , the other ones do get Transported by a team of Truck Drivers and do get bumped around and sometimes Chained up on a Job for security mine is kept inside a Secure building and has remained Accurate for over 25 years i do usually purchase my Saws at Price Costco because of them being one of the lower priced RetailStores inmy area on that model i do like the Hercules having the 14” Blade for that extra capacity on doing Moldings in the past i’ve h to build Custom Hand Miter Boxes to cut some of the Larger Crowne Mouldings On Site and we used Hand Saws and Tapered Shims and blocks to hold things in place for Accurate Cuts but that is time Consuming and Time costs Money as the old saying goes Unfortunately inCustomWoodworking in order to keep the work flowing you need to cut Pricing to stay Competitive so sometimes that hurts you in my Companies case we had the Machinery in House to make the Mouldings and that’s why we took those jobs on because overall the Company profited
The Hercules saw was copied from Dewalt, they made some improvements that they thought it needed. They have great warranty, I got the extended Warranty which started 90 days after purchase. Just before the warranty expires take it back to HarborFreight and tell them it won’t stay in adjustment. They will give you a new one no questions asked. Buy the extended warranty again for $60, you will have another 15 months to use it before getting another replacement.
If you're referring to a small baggie with 2 torx head set screws and 2 e-clips they go on the table extension. Look at your tool extension and you'll see a small hole; that's where the e-clip goes, but you have to put them in from underneath the table. The set screws are to lock the table extension in place, the e-clips are to keep you from pulling them all the way out. In the event you forgot to lock them down, you wouldn't risk losing them while moving the saw from one location to another.
I got a Hercules and had alignment issues immediately. Found the arm/blade path is not in alignment with the base kerf and there's no adjustment for it. It is off a 1/16" as the cut gets farther away from the fence. Not a detent aligment issue ata ll either. Exchanged it for another new in the box, SAME EXACT PROBLEM! This thing is okay-ish for framing, but for accuracy? Forget it. It's junk.
I thought about getting a Hercules saw but the warranty is pretty pathetic. It only comes with a 90 day warranty. If you want a one year warranty then that will cost you another $80. Parts availability for these is questionable too so if it breaks after the warranty then you might be stuck with a saw that can't be fixed. I can get a DeWalt for about the same price so I am going to go with that instead. The warranty is better and parts availability is not questionable.
Damn! That thing where the saw dust is coming in looks like a tongue licking! It's too soft! I would probably take that off and replace it with something else so that the saw dust will come in there nicely and the saw dust will not flying around everywhere.
The first saw was returned for Warrenty because of a loose bolt messing up a pulley. I walked into the store they asked me questions on what the problems were they wrote it down on the Warrenty walked out with a new saw in the box. Best Warrenty ever. The second saw is doing great with no problems.
Cut straight right out of the box. Everything seemed to be all lined up including the stops. Watch the 2 month review ruclips.net/video/tR02ktZ2iBI/видео.html
I use this saw everyday for about 2 hours, all of the saws last about the same. Most all of the internal parts come from the same supplier for all of the saws.
@@Marksmisfitworld I've found that since all manufacturers went to China that dewalt seems to be the best quality..I use mine to cut solid oak wood flooring.
@@Marksmisfitworld just saying man, it’s not a good idea. If you get caught in the blade it will suck your whole hand in vs. just cutting that part of your hand. I used to wear them at work at the table saw until someone explained how dangerous it is. I get it though, you’re older and you prolly have been doing it for years. 👍🏻
First blade is spinning to fast to grab my glove, it will cut through them. Second without gloves my hands would have been all bloodied up with me knocking off the edges and full of splinters. When I rip 20 sheets of plywood and cut that up into small pieces I would not be able to hang onto the wood after and hour from my finger being shined up from the wood surface.
Rigid is garbage. Went thru 4 in 2 months and they don't back their warranties. Hercules has a guaranteed lifetime warranty. One year free replacement. U can take it.back every year and the Store will give u a New one. The Hercules has out performed my default and now that's getting cob webs on it from non use. Multiple video's up of the side by side performance test on RUclips and Hercules is destroying the dewalt in those test. Don't buy a Ridgid. I threw mine in the trash. And be prepared to pay shipping cost of $75 to ship it for them to tell u it was your fault.
@@scraplifelivingthedream4331 I didnt see them mention a lifetime warranty on this saw. My concern would be in 4 years you need a part for it and you cant order it. I dont know if you looked at the parts list for this saw but it doesnt offer much..So then what you gonna do? Where the dewalt or ridgid you can order any part for it at many websites.
Good overall video except you are a little jerky in your movements & behavior. Please smoothin yourself out. And you could have been a little more descriptive with all the saws features.
This saw may be okay for framing and basic construction, but anyone doing real trim or carpentry work, no way. I purchased one 1/2021 after reading the reviews everywhere.

There is no adjustment for an arcing cut like that since the extension arms are not parallel with the base, or they are bent. The farther away the arm is extended out into the throat plate, the worse it gets. It's off over 1/16". The blade can be aligned to the kerf in the base, however it moves off to the right as you slide out the arm. I can get it perfect close to the fence, but outside of that, it's way off, regardless of the base plate adjustment. I got it dead square to 90 degrees, cut a 10" wide board in half, flipped one half over vertically and lined up the cut again flat against the fence. There is a large gap in the kerf down the middle and tight on the ends. I returned the saw under warranty exchange - which is awesome, and got another one to find the same exact problem.
