Hitachi C10FSH 10-Inch Sliding Compound Miter Saw

I narrowed the list down to the Makita 10" slider and the Hitachi 10" slider. I went with the Hitachi and have not regretted it. The laser feature is great!! Definetly speeds up the cutting, I just lay my tape measure on the stock, line up the laser and lock it down. The cut is dead on! No need to break out the pencil and square or to visually align the blade to the mark. I also read reviews about the dust collector with miter saws and how they were basically worthless, so I did not hold much hope that this would be any better.

I ordered it on 4-23-03 with the free shipping. It came down to either the C10FSH or the Makita LS1013. All my cordless tools are Makita. I love them and was ready to go with LS1013 but it didn't have a Laser Guide.

They never develop slop (like the Makita) in the positive stops .I can set it to a 1/8th of a degree and not fall into a positive stop (like the Dewalt). So Every time I pull up this saw out wheather its a 22 million dollar house or a 200.000 dollar house this saw with its razor thin laser will show me what accuacy really is. Buy it.

could not have asked for anything better! The laser sight makes things so much easier in cutting parts for my projects. Price may be a little much but believe me you won't be disapointed! Quality of the cuts, capacity, and accuracy is also excellent.

The saw has one big negative, the black rubber dust guide. If you hook up a vacuunm system to the saw, the rubber closes up completely and render the vacuum system useless.

I thorughly researched all the competing saws including Makita, Bosch, PC, and Delta. My father in-law has owned the 8 1/2" Hitachi sliding miter saw for over 10 years and attests to Hitachi's reliability. The 10 inch saw gives greater capacity and flexibility. The Hitachi saw was delievered in perfect adjustment. It is smooth and powerful.

I am an amature woodworking ehthusiast so I do not have a lot of technical details to cover but features wise it seems to be one of the best one on the market. As indicated in other reviews, I do agree that it's Dust collection design has a big room for improvement.

Hitachi C10FSH 10-Inch Sliding Compound Miter Saw With Laser

Top quality product. could not have asked for anything better! The laser sight makes things so much easier in cutting parts for my projects.

This past weekend I purchased this saw (serial #201xx) based upon recommendations by at least 10 seasoned finish carpenters and 3 professional power tool dealers. The dealer included a free Hitachi 10" 72 tooth carbide blade and a Hitachi baseball cap.

I Like the laser feature to align the cuts when cutting diferent angles so I know the lengths will always be what I want them to be , "Rigth on the money " .
I wish HITACHI would include the same blade as the one they sell with the 10FSB.

Easier to use bevel adjustment levers. Came set up "right on" out of the box. The laser is easily adjusted to read either left or right of the saw kerf (or right down the middle if you prefer). I would have preferred the 72 tooth blade but have no complaints about the quality of cut with the 40 tooth blade. A solid, well built machine with NO slop in the cuts!

I have used Hitachi compund saws on all of them. If you are into quality. This is your saw. In my opinion there is no other manufacturer of slide compounds that can compare. They never develop slop (like the Makita) in the positive stops .I can set it to a 1/8th of a degree and not fall into a positive stop (like the Dewalt).
