A Lot of Saw for it's Size:
I have the older version of this saw, the B601, I've had occasion to use this saw, the CB75F a number of times, and it is one heck of a good saw. You can cut all day with it, and it never slows down, I've cut 12" thick wet logs on it, and it never slows down. Yes, the 110V motor seems wimpy, but it is not, it is geared correctly for the work the saw does. I have also cut thin, VERY thin veneer (1 mm thick) on this saw, and it cuts very consistently, without a problem. One thing I'll mention that I... more info
an accurate cutting , well made resaw:
The Hitachi CB75F gets criticized for being under powered and over priced. I agree that this saw is greatly improved by replacing the stock motor with a 5hp 1725rpm motor. As for the price, one only has to look at the 3"x3" heavy wall tubular steel frame and large shaft/bearing sizes to see its value.

There is an optional blade guide for 1/4" blades, but I would keep the saw set up with the 3" wide, 1/16" kerf alternate stelite blade and... more info
Hitachi 3 in. saw blade guide bearing problems:
Nultiple bearing failures. Guide bearings overheat and turn blue before seizing. Failures occure in the top rear position. 4 failures
in two years. bearing should be rotated 90 degrees as in the 1 inch
guide position. This destroyes the expensive stellite blade.
The motor is too noisy.
Over priced under powered:
I obtained this saw from one of my Doctors hobby shop. I got it for $610.00. At this pice it is worth the money. I am a one man shop building custom furniture. It is great for matching pannels. It is underpowered for production. I was a tool and die maker with General Motors in the 60's. I took the saw apart and rebuilt it. There is no vibration and it cuts streight as an arrow. If you find a used one and need a dedicated resaw this one is great for the small shop. It shoud come with a 3hp motor and the... more info
