Features

Its 15 amp motor provides extreme power for even the strongest wood. It has a very thin adjustable indicator, allowing for more exact measurements. At 26.3 pounds, it is the lightest in its class to allow for portability.

A very important feature to the Hitachi Compound Miter Saw is the five year limited warranty offered by Hitachi. Another great aspect is the professional quality at a decent price. Prices depend on where you get them. Make sure to look around for deals. The average price is around $140. However, some places have offered the Hitachi Miter Saw at $99, with free shipping.

While the Hitachi comes with a handy dust collector attachment to minimize airborne particles, it only catches about 50% of the dust. However, most saws do not have a very good record on dust collecting. The clamping system is not as strong as it could be; therefore running the risk of breaking. It is made up of plastic parts that appear to break easily.

Product Performance

One of the best features of the Hitachi C10FCE2 10" Compound Miter Saw is its precise cut. Its blades can cut through treated 4x4 posts with no motor lag or little to no vibration. It can be used for a variety of projects, from light projects such as door and window casings, as well as baseboard trim to more heavy duty projects, such as cutting 2x4s or 4x4s, etc. Great for wood laminate panels, other than the fact you have to flip the board for the final cut. Overall, the product performance of this Hitachi Compound Miter Saw has a high product performance rating.

Summary

The Hitachi C10FCE2 10" Compound Miter Saw is an excellent choice for projects around the home. Construction workers like the fact that they are not as heavy as some. Professional quality and a great low price is something to really consider the next time you are checking into a saw. Its five year warranty makes this Hitachi C10FCE2 10" Compound Miter Saw a risk free investment.
