This is Metabo HPT. The HPT stands for Hitachi Power Tools. When Hitachi was sold to KKR (who also owns Metabo), they kept making the same products, but couldn't keep the name so they changed it to Metabo HPT.
Metabo HPT is consumer level. Still pretty decent, but far from the quality of real Metabo.

I just wanted to inform people that may be cutting 4x4's for fencing or whatever that a miter saw is INSANELY nice to have on hand. These type cannot do it but a 12" blade, especially a sliding one easily and safely can.
Dewalt's DWS779 has a perfect rating on Amazon and most other sites, is a top seller for years now and is very heavy duty for the price. If price is no issue for you and you want simply the best of the best then clearly this will not be for you, you will spend about double in price at least. For the rest of us sane people, this is an AMAZING saw. I think I got it closer to $320.. I don't recall but it was an excellent price either way and much cheaper than the competition. What you dont get with the saw is a shadow light and it does take up a few inches more of backspace but by not having these features, I saved $300.. seems 100% worth it to me.
Sliding miter saws in general also have a very impressive range of wide woods they can cut super easy and extremely clean. My only regret is not getting one sooner, they truly are very nice to have if you do a lot of DIY. For triple the price of this one, knowing what I know now, there's no way I would get one of these.. I would put it towards the better saw instead. I love it a lot.. so long as it doesnt cut my fingers off.
Things to look for on a miter saw:
- Sliding compound (I think this is a big deal. It means you can cut much wider material with a smaller saw)
- Dual bevel (can adjust the lean of the blade to the left or right, which is more convenient than flipping your boards around etc)
- Laser (not a huge deal, you can just tap the blade to the material before starting to ensure it's positioned right
12" saws are cool, they'll cut big stuff effortlessly. 10" is also very capable IF it's a sliding saw, and the saw is smaller and the blades are a bit cheaper too.
