Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi C12FDH 15 Amp 12-Inch Dual Bevel Miter Saw with Laser

Customer Review: Awesome Saw
Summary: 5 Stars

Having used a borrowed DeWalt 716 for the past 4 months I decided I need to return my buddies saw and get my own! I was dead set on getting the DeWalt but figured I would wait and maybe catch a sale. While 'waiting' I started researching other saws and the Hitachi caught my eye. Last week while checking online I found the Hitachi on sale at my local Lowes for $199. That was too good to pass up so I picked it up. Immediately after leaving Lowes I went next door to Home Depot and grabbed the Ryobi miter stand for $99. What a combination is all i can say. For less than $300 I am equipped with a 12" double bevel miter saw, with built in laser and 15 amp motor and rocking miter saw stand. The DeWalt 716 in $399 just for the saw, no laser, and then you need a stand.

After set up I started making cuts to check squareness and angles. Even though the indicators were on zero I had to adjust the bevel to square. Then I simply reset the pointers. The miter was fine from the factory. Next I adjusted the laser to the left side of the blade for my preference. Thats it.

Over the last 2 days I test cut everything up to a pressure treated 4x4 while testing squareness, etc. The saw cuts with the stock blade as well as the DeWalt I borrowed and for the price its simply amazing. I like the DeWalt fences a bit better and it does provide a wider cut. But the Hitachi comes with a built in laser, which is operated by a seperate switch.....many add ons run on AAA batteries, or the built in lasers often do not come on until you start the saw. This one you just hit the switch, line up the cut with the laser and your ink line, then pull the trigger to start the saw, Very nice.

Not for this review but the Ryobi miter stand rocks for the price....check it out if in need. No wheels but rock solid mounting, easy removal of saw, folds away, very sturdy, extends over 8', work stops on each end, etc., etc., ect.

Overall, Great saw and for $199 I woulda been nuts not to grab it. Glad I did. (and the stand too).

Compound Feature for Precise Miters and Bevels
Hitachi designed the C12FDH for versatile, easy use. The thumb-actuated positive miter stops for simple miter adjustments at the most common angles between zero and 52 degrees to the left and right. This design allows you to easily change the angle of the cutting blade for creating miters in crown molding and other trim pieces.

The bevel scale ranges from zero to 48 degrees to the left and right, allowing your material to stay in place while you flip the saw head to make opposing cuts, and the saw head bevels to the right or left, also allowing the material to stay securely in place for cutting efficiency. After your major bevel angle is secured, a micro-bevel adjustment knob can be used to dial in a precise angle without the weight of the saw head compromising accuracy.

The 12-inch TCT saw blade (included) makes easy work of delicate trim and other woodwork, and the tall, pivoting aluminum fence stands at a height of 5-1/8 inches to allow for accurate vertical cutting of crown molding and cutting of large workpieces up to 2-5/16 inches high and 5-21/32 inches deep.

Laser Marker Technology for Perfect Cuts Everytime
Hitachi equipped the C12FDH with its exclusive Laser Marker System, which can be activated before the blade is in motion for exact alignment and predictable blade placement. The laser marker is easily adjustable to suit your preferences, simply line up the laser with your mark on the workpiece, and the saw blade will make an exact cut along the laser guide. As long as your measurements are right, your cuts will be, too!

Chock-Full of User-Friendly Features
The C12FDH has plenty of features to help you make the perfect cut the first time. To start, it has a powerful 15-amp motor that generates a no-load speed of up to 4,000 RPM to smoothly and easily cut through even the toughest hardwoods.

For precise, safe cutting, a splinter guard behind the fence increases safety and reduces tear-out for clean, finished cuts, and a comfortable horizontal handle with a vibration-reducing elastomer grip prevents slippage and keeps you in control at all times. Additionally, a large base provides support and balance to prevent material from warping, and a built-in clamping system holds your workpiece in place. An added bonus, easily accessible carbon brushes will help your saw perform for the long term.

The Hitachi C12FDH measures 24-5/8 x 30-23/32 x 27 inches and weighs 46.3 pounds. Durably built, this tool is backed with an industry-leading five-year warranty.
