Average Customer Ratings:

Hitachi’s redo of the well-built C10FS took a great saw and made it better. Laser cutting line? Done. Taller fence? Done. More legible scales? Done. The soft-start, belt-driven, 12-amp motor reduces vibration, and you get the same impeccably smooth ride on the slide that its predecessor offered, thanks to Hitachi’s linear ball-bearing system. At a mere 44 pounds, it’s a great contractor saw for job site work, trimming studs, crown molding, plywood, decorative veneer and hardboard, even aluminum sash materials--and unlike other saws, it bevels left and right. This Hitachi is dead-on accurate every time, with a smooth action and comfortable, secure grip. Our favorite update to this saw is undoubtedly the laser cutting line--who wouldn’t want that? It’s a little spendy for the average home woodworking hobbyist, but with tools, you really do get what you pay for.-- Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Choosing a Miter Saw
Miter saws are versatile tools that have become a mainstay of workshops everywhere. These powerful saws make angled cuts by pulling a circular blade down onto a workpiece with a short, controlled plunge. It might appear that miter saws are infinitely complex and varied, but there are only three general types. The type you choose will depend on your woodworking needs.

Basic Miter Saws
Basic miter saws are the least versatile off the three major variations, but they’re a great starting point for novice do-it-yourselfers. These models typically adjust for miter cuts only, so consider upgrading if you need to do more than that.

Compound Miter Saws
Compound miter saws are easier to use than basic miter saws because you can place your stock flat for cutting, and they adjust simultaneously for miter and bevel cuts. A compound miter saw is great for jobs that feature stock that's not very tall or wide, such as door and window trim or picture frames.

Sliding Compound Miter Saws
Sliding compound miter saws are the most versatile of the available models. They have a motor and blade assembly that's mounted on a moveable arm to accommodate longer, wider workpieces. For smaller pieces, the saw performs like an ordinary fixed-head model. On some models, the blade can only pivot in one direction, but on a dual sliding compound miter saw, the blade can tilt to the right or left.

Important Features at a Glance
Though models will vary by manufacturer and design, these are a few of the more commonly found features that you might want to keep in mind.

• Electric brake: Reverses the flow of electricity when the saw's trigger is released. This is an important safety feature that slows the blade quickly in case of emergency.
• Blade guard: Most miter saws have self-retracting guards that withdraw when the saw is lowered for use, and reappear when it is raised.
• Laser guide: Gives a precise visual line where the cut will occur on your workpiece.
• Dust bag: Helps collect sawdust for a clearer, more tidy cutting area.
• Shaft lock: Immobilizes the shaft and blade for quicker, easier blade changes.
• Table extensions: Mount on either side of the saw to help balance longer workpieces.

Miter Saw Blades
Miter saw blades come in a variety of different sizes, grades, and materials, but there are three main types: steel, high-speed steel, and carbide-tipped blades.

• Steel: Inexpensive and good for cutting soft woods or plywoods. Sharpness diminishes quickly in tougher materials.
• High-Speed Steel: More rugged than steel blades, and great for cutting harder woods.
• Carbide-Tipped: More expensive than other blades but much more durable. Maintain sharpness over a longer period.

  Summary: My handyman reveiw of this Hitachi Miter Saw
  Comment: I am going to give this Hitachi Miter Saw a Five Star because of it's quality and performance. A friend let me use his Hitachi miter saw to do a hardwood floor job. I liked it so much, I ordered me a new one. The new saw had improvements, such as, laser, dust catcher, etc. I noticed that the new saw was not a noisy as the older one. Laser was perfect out of the box but I played with it's adjustment, then put it back to it's mark with ease. I looked at other chop saws but I especially like the slide bar on this saw, it gives you the capacity to cut 12" boards. A chop saw can only cut an 8" board, that's with a 12" blade, maximum. Well anyway if you are looking for a great miter saw this is the one. This saw will go through many climate changes up here, I believe it will handle them all, with ease.
  
  Happy wood working, Michaels

  Summary: reasonable for the price
  Comment: I've owned this saw (minus the laser) for a year and a half, and have used it for some fairly extensive remodelling tasks. Everything from finicky hardwood trim work, to cutting doug fir 4x8s. It does the job, but there are some caveats:
  
  - definitely hard to use with the left hand due to the location of the safety switch
  - hard to set the mitre a half or quarter of a degree from the detents
  - depth adjustment is difficult to set precisely, and you'll need to offset your work from the fence if you want to cut all the way across
  - a little underpowered - use a thin kerf blade.
  - need to make and adaptor plate to attach to a standard 4 bolt saw stand
  - work surface is not huge. you'll want to support your wood to either side
  - brake sometimes takes a few seconds to kick in after you release the trigger
  - stock blade is mediocre, but then you were planning on getting a good one, right?
  
  on the plus side:
  - once squared up, stays true
  - cuts well with a thin kerf blade
  - easily transportable
  - wide range of mitre and bevel angles
  - blade changes are easy
  
  overall, a good quality saw, and hasn't failed me after a lot of abuse. Could do with a few improvements, but you get what you pay for.
