Thanks Peter, found it and bookmarked it!
If I could bother you guys with one last questions... Buying online. I have found the C9 for $219 at the following site with $20 freight which is cheaper than the best price in Hobart that I could find today that was $269.
SYDNEY TOOLS - Hitachi 2000W 235mm Circular Saw
*Edit* Also found this one https://www.gasweld.com.au/products/C9SA2%28H1%29-HIT
Are these guys reliable? Are there any other well priced sites I should be looking at?

As far as I know, both companies in my local area will price match for the identical item.
You can ring them or enquire off there websites.
Also as PAC MAN; give VEK the same opertunity, send them an enquiry off there website.
And if you're feeling like doing some extra chasing try Total Tools too.
Plus some of the melbourne forum members swear by some of there local Trade Tool suppliers.

Grabbed a Hitachi C9 today. Just dropped it into the Triton and fired it up. Super powerful!
I've got a bit of tweaking to do so it's all square but it's not far off. Any tips on getting the blade square vertically? It is about 1/2 a mm out.
Thanks for all the advice guys!

Rather then fiddling about with adjusting the blade to the saw base plate, put two small shims (thin washers would be best) between the Triton carriage and the saw on either left or right side to adjust.
Peter.

Thanks, but it's not my original idea, although happy to take credit for passing it on.
Learned it a long time ago when I bought my MK3, which served me well for a long time but is now relegated to storage as I bought a great TS. Glad I saw your post and have been able to help as I don't usually look at the Triton forum any more. Must be your good karma.
Peter.
