Reviews:
Think of the Hitachi C10FS as the Clydesdale of all the industry's
sliding compound miter saw workhorses. It's tough, well built, and
feature packed. One of the few saws on the market that bevels to
both sides, the Hitachi lets you make compound cuts to the right
or left without the hassle of transferring marks or repositioning
stock--and the 10 amp motor is situated above the arbor to allow
a wider cutting range. Unlike other top-heavy saws, the Hitachi
remains well balanced and easy to maneuver--which, along with its
smooth-operating blade guard, makes it a relatively safe saw to
use. The saw's table allows a good miter range, swinging 57 degrees
right and 46 degrees left, and the unique bevel and miter scale
makes cutting crown molding a snap whether you're an expert or a
novice.
We especially like how Hitachi's multi-V-belt soft-start transfer
delivers power smoothly. The saw doesn't jump or buck on start-up,
so cuts are generally safe and easy to keep true. The saw cuts 3-1/2-
to 12-inch stock at a 90-degree miter, and at 45 degrees the saw
handles a 9-inch cut. We also like that the Hitachi features adjustable
plastic fences that give support when cutting small pieces close
to the blade, but are a bit disappointed that the saw lacks a detent
override, a mechanism that disengages the preset table settings
and makes it easier to lock into angles close to 0 and 45 degrees.
No question
about it, though, the Hitachi C10FS is a tough saw that easily stands
up to the rigorous demands of the job site; ours survived a tailgate
tumble with hardly a scratch. The well-designed bevel-locks and
scales, nicely balanced head, and smooth operation make this a great
tool whether you're a professional or a serious home improvement
enthusiast.
