Apparently this saw is quite new, it is not even listed on the Hitachi website yet.

Anyone else have one of these saws? So far I'm quite impressed with the performance for a 12" bandsaw. Motor seems more than adequate. The only limitation is 4-3/4" for resaw, but I'm looking into a riser-block possibility to gain another 6" in height.

This saw looks 'very' similiar to the Sears Craftsman 12" bandsaw also.
