Now that Hitachi has made the full transition to Metabo HPT, theyโre rolling out the MultiVolt line as a sign of whatโs to come. The Metabo HPT MultiVolt 10-inch miter saw is one of the more intriguing items weโre taking a look at first.
If youโre wondering if this is really a Hitachi cordless miter saw, the answer is yes. Itโs just getting the new Metabo HPT branding.
Key Features
The big highlight for this saw is its combination of cordless power with the ability to use an AC adapter. Better yet, that AC adapter is compatible with any Metabo HPT MultiVolt tool.
Metabo HPT goes with a zero clearance rail system. Whatโs interesting is that it moves away from the typical rails directly over each other or to the side of each other. Instead, it gets more of a diagonal orientation. Weโll have to wait and see if that gives it more stability.
This is a dual bevel miter saw, so youโll get both mitering and beveling to the left and right with respectable ranges.
Pricing is interesting with this and several other Metabo HPT tools. Technically, theyโre being sold as bare tools. But thatโs a little misleading. When you pick up the saw, youโll have a choice of an AC adapter or a battery/charger combo. Plus, if you register your tool online between November 1 and December 31, 2018, theyโll send you a free battery.
Thatโs not bad for $619. By comparison, Milwaukeeโs M18 Fuel 10-inch miter saw is $599, with no AC option, and DeWaltโs FlexVolt is $63-$799, depending on the kit you choose. The FlexVolt is a 12-inch saw.
