Hitachi C10FCE2 10-Inch compound miter saw Reviews
everything else I've cut with it is no problem at all. Not sure why the description STILL says this unit has a laser. I used this saw to install a very hard stranded bamboo floor (over 3000 on the janka scale), and when cutting the bamboo, the saw only bogged down slightly. Packing is a bit lacking, though my saw arrived in good shape. it doesn't. Hold out for 99$ price, and with free shipping, it pays for itself in no time.
We did not return it after we received it for the second time we should have but no time. Amazon replaced it and we do appreciate the work they have done. Mark Haghighi We return this product for having a broken part. It came back again with a broken bolt hole that attaches to the table. the miter itself is ok. The packaging of this product is very poor and does not protect the product.
This saw is unusually well made, sturdy, powerful, accurate. I am a retired building contractor and this is one of the best values I've seen.
Great for cutting 2x4 and wood laminate panels (though you have to flip the board for the final cut) without motor bogging down. 40 tooth blade trims true, great for being free. Cheap Craftsman miter with the wrongly aligned stick on angle guage (are you kidding me) don't compare too. This one is made in China (not Japan) but my expectations are for the occasional homeowner use, not for contractor duty and I am very pleased. That's where the laser guide helps with perfect cuts. Yes. Sure beats the plastic Ryobis sold at HD for the same price. Picked this up for 99 bucks (price fluctuates often so just throw it into your shopping cart and wait for that deal to come up).
Bought an Irwin laser guide for about 20 bucks and I'm ready for my job. the dust bag is pretty much useless, it catches just the ultrafine particles, all the rest of the debris is around you. My 80 tooth laminate blade is almost the cost of the saw. Best comparison is the entry level Dewalt but that one comes in at at 200 so this is half price for about the same performance.
There were many complaints about cheap plastic parts and even cheaper angle/cut quality. I compared Dewalt 723, Craftsman and couple of other models from home depot. I arrived in 2 days (with free shipping) and since the blades are new you could you use it to cut moulding right out of the box. Dust bag isn't very useful as it captures only part of the dust, but that's true with all other brands as well. Used it couple of time for miter and compound miter, and all the angles were perfect with fine cuts. BTW, its cheap @ $125, but the price here fluctuates alot and I was able to get it for $99 + taxes + free shipping. Other Ryobi and Makita were similar to Hitachi and Dewalt, but werent' that popular and couldn't find many reviews.
I haven't tried mounting it on a stand, but have heard people complain about incompatibility with Dewalt miter stand. The construction of the saw itself is strong and it comes with few accessories. After all this analysis and talking to couple of contractors, they suggested that Hitachi is equally good and I ended up ordering one from amazon. This was my first miter/chop saw and I looked around alot before buying it. Dewalt was twice as expensive ($209) and Craftsmans from Sears was pretty darn cheap and althoug you could buy a sliding compound miter for less that $200, the quality wasn't good. I highly recommed this saw.
But may be when you cut 2x4s for few months, you might need a newer blade with more teeths.
