wmcot's Full Review: Hitachi C10FCH2 10 Inch Miter Saw With Laser
I needed to make a ton of 45 degree miters when installing floor molding and bead-board top molding in our room remodel project. There was no way I wanted to cut all those by hand so I began looking at power miter saws. I ran across the Hitachi 10 inch Miter Saw with Laser at Lowe's for $149. The model without the laser guide was $139, so I naturally decided on the one with the Laser. This is a great saw. It was easy to set up right out of the box. I used 4 bolts with wing nuts to mount it to my portable workbench and it kept the saw rock solid. The laser is the greatest thing about this saw - no more guessing or lowering the blade to see where the cut will be made. On a couple of pieces that were just a hair too long, the laser made trimming them super easy. Just line up the edge of the piece with the laser light barely touching the piece of wood and cut - you'll trim the piece by the width of the saw blade! Simple! The base has positive stops preset at the most used angles and the handle tightens to lock the saw at the angle you want. The base has a built-in guide fence extension that simply flips over to give you a longer guide when needed. Cutting is quick, clean and precise (now if only rooms were all built with perfect 90 degree corners!) I had about 30 pieces to miter on the room remodel and the Hitachi C10FCH2 Miter Saw with Laser saved me hours of time compared to manual mitering and many mistakes trying to miter with my table saw! I'll be using this saw A LOT in the future. The saw also comes with a dust collector bag and a small vise assembly for extra holding power on difficult pieces. The saw head can be tilted easily by unlocking it and using the built-in scale to get the angle exactly correct. This is great for complex cuts like crown molding (which I will be doing in the future.) Best of all, the entire saw weighs under 24 pounds so it is extremely portable!
