My mitre saw of 10 years is about to die and the local tool shop has an offer on a Hitachi C8FSE saw. Has any body any expierience with this saw and is it any good. Thanks.

Not sure which one your looking at, but I couldn't be happier with my Hitachi. I squared up the table and trued up the blade, and it cuts dead to nuts every time.
Edit: I've got the standard 10" Hitachi, the one off of the shelf at Lowe's (but I got it recon off of the internet).
You know that saw is only 8-1/4", right? Unless you are only working with trim, I would go at least 10", though I love my 8" delta for trim and portable work.
I have the Makita 10" slider. LS1016L. Great saw. Precise, great motor, accurate stops. Check out the review on FHB
