The electronic speed control ensures consistent RPM throughout the cut, so you get smooth, precise, controlled cuts each and every time.Additionally, the C10FSH utilizes a Poly-V-Belt transmission rather than a traditional gear transmission. This soft start technology allows the saw to operate smoothly and quietly and reduces recoils during startup.Compound Feature for Precise Miters and Bevels Hitachi designed the C10FSH for versatile, easy use. The thumb-actuated positive miter stops allow for simple miter adjustments at the most common angles: 15.0, 22.5, 31.6, and 45.0 degrees to the right or left. The tool also features a 57-degree miter angle to the right and a 45-degree miter angle to the left for maximum flexibility. Additionally, a white-on-black miter scale provides superior visibility, allowing you to easily adjust the angle of the cutting blade for creating miters in crown molding and other trim pieces.And with a bevel range of 45 degrees to the left and right, you can quickly and easily flip the saw blade while leaving your material in place. To save you even more time, bevel stops to the right and left are conveniently located at zero and 45 degrees.The 10-inch TCT saw blade (included) makes easy work of trim and other woodwork, and the linear ball-bearing slide system and adjustable pivot fence allow for accurate cutting of large workpieces over 12 inches deep.Laser Marker Technology for Perfect Cuts EverytimeHitachi equipped the C10FSH 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 FeaturesThe C10FSH contains plenty of features to help you make the perfect cut the first time. To start, a splinter guard behind the fence increases safety and reduces tear-out for clean, finished cuts. A patented, fully adjustable chip deflector also prevents tear out, aligns the cutting line, and provide zero-clearance support.For further refinement, a large table provides a stable guide and sturdy support, a built-in clamping system holds your workpiece in place, a comfortable vertical handle with a vibration-reducing elastomer grip keeps you in control, and an electric brake feature quickly halts the blade to prevent unintended cuts.The C10FSH also includes a dust collector that minimizes accumulation of dust and particles in your both your workspace and the saw's interior components, keeping your jobsite clean and prolonging the life of the tool. An added bonus, easily accessible carbon brushes will help your saw perform for the long term.Durably built, this tool is backed with an industry-leading five-year warranty.

Reviews
This is the second Hitachi C10FSH that I have owned. I looked at all the others but knew this saw inside and out and how good it really is. For the record, my other one is still in service at home while the new one is on the job site.It shows up every day ready to work.
Great saw, can't add to what has already been written. BUT this was a used unit. The fences do not line up perfectly, and I can see that someone was monkeying around with them as the bolts that hold the fences in place were all scratched and worn. Really would have liked to get a new saw, since that is what I thought I purchased. Anyway, all is well, and I will not be returning the unit, but there should be some more quality control on returned items. Hitachi gets the 5 out of 5. Amazon, and the return system, gets a 2 out of 5. If you could buy this from another source, I think that would be the best. However, to my surprise because of the weight and size of the saw, there was absolutely no shipping damage.
I've read many reviews about the packaging but Amazon customer service assured me it's guaranteed. So when I received the "Hitachi C10FSH 10-Inch Sliding Compound Miter Saw with Laser" I really inspected carefully and took pictures. Found no damage, fences were square. The only the problem was the optional right side "Hitachi 321387 Sub-fence for C10FSH and C10FSB" because Hitachi doesn't include this. It's held in by 2 large metal dowel pins and tightens down with a set screw. There's an 1/8" play at the top of the fence without tightening down the setscrew. After tightening down the set screw, the sub-fence isn't square/level to the other fence on the left side. I've seen this problem written in the past reviews. So I have a fix for that. I added brass shims in the dowel pin hole. I used brass shims because it's a soft metal and will contour to the round hole and they sell different thickness of brass strips. [...]
I am a homeowner with limited but growing DIY/Contriction experience. As I am beginning to take on slightly larger construction projects, a miter saw now makes sense. We got a good deal on this one through Amazon, and so far I am very pleased with it. It feel sturdy and responds smoothly, and the laser (once adjusted, which isn't hard) is very accurate. I haven't used it extensively yet, so I can't vouch for durability, but it's very nice in terms of ease of use and accuracy of cut. Pros: Nice laser, sturdy, easy operation Cons: Very loud (more than most other tools I've used), somewhat heavy.
Dead on right out of the box and still gong. The laser is awesome, not a gimmic. I searched for long time debating which one to get and this is the one! It does everything it is supposed to and is right on the money. Easy to set up and adjust. Buy this one.
