If nobody use one :mad: I'm afraid that I have to :cool:
The extra cutting capacity with regular 7-1/4" blade is the key.
We may have something good here.
If not...One more CS for the collection. :cool:

How much are they? I hate when they don't have the price on the web site. It's like they want to get you in the door.

No idea yet.
Waiting for "our' cousin Robert :D to give us the $$$$ news. :eek:
I think $350.00 -$375.00 for the guided one. (fancy)
And I will bet on $285.00 to $300.00 for the sidewinder.

They really are very nice saws. We just imported them from germany where they have had them for awhile. Your correct about the pricing. I havent sold many yet so im not positive about the price. Feel free to send me a PM with your email address and I can see what I can do for you. If you need anything Hilti just let me know. We have the best service too. If you have anything go wrong with the saw in the first year we will send you a paid UPS label and guarantee it will be fixed within a day no charge. Hows that for service?

Hi Richard.

From Hilti.

$159.00 for the 167 (sidewinder)
and $299.00 for the (fancy) 267.
I was only off by 'one saw' on the sidewinder. :eek: :rolleyes:

Yesterday I use the Hilti (267) on the EZ for few hours.

Nice saw with unique benefits.

1. Plunges EZ and straight without any side movement.

2. From Hilti." Uniquely positioned on top of the tool, the lower blade guard release is designed to be operated in one fluid motion"

Works good. Same feature can be found on the Bosch CS 8-1/4"

3. The smart power and the variable speed is good to have.

4. EZ to set and cut bevels . (very nice)

5. Ez to set depth of cut. (very nice)

6. Ez and safe to chance sawblades. (very unique design )
Stops the power even if the cord is connected.

7. Ez to connect the vacuum hose and with good dust collection.

But...Not as ez to use all day long as the regular sidewinders. The top handle is a drawback. Not at the right place. After cutting 2x materials for few hours ...I grab the PC Mag 325 in order to get a brake. (May be the height of the table was to high?)

And while testing different saw blades ..I discover that you can't use the Diablo's. But this is something that can be corrected Ez with a simple washer.

And the electric brake. Not as fast as the Mag. 325. but not a problem because you can lift the saw while in use without damaging the plastic edge of the guide.

1. Plunges EZ and straight without any side movement.

(With the base still on the rail and the depth knob lose)

For on site work..I go with any sidewinder. For shop work...the Hilti is a good choice but not before you play with it. (the top handle)

Before I forget. The Hilti on the EZ cuts thru 2x materials with a regular 7-1/4" blade. And displays plenty of power.

This week I will try the same setup with a lower smart table and use
the Diablo blades.

Happy 4th guys.
