Hitachi C12RSH 12 " [Posted on 2006-06-28]
I am a professional woodworker and I purchased this saw specifically for cutting stair skirtboards, for which this saw proved up to the task. I also currently have the Hitachi 10' slide compound sans laser. The laser beam is a little to broad for my liking so I find my eye is still more accurate. Improvements in this saw that I really like are the rack&pinion gearing for dialing "micro adjustments" and the placement of slide tubes up top and to the side. This placement prevents sawdust from being thrown back into the slide tube bearings a big plus. Of course it would be nice if Hitachi would provide an attachnent so that the saw could be hooked up to a two inch vacuum line. Of course the saw is big and bulky but it is a 12 inch so... The setting are a little easier to read than most previous saws and the locks for positioning angle and bevel are solid. The bevel lock is a little awkward to work with but the slip ratchet mechanism helps. I feel that the motor is a little under powered so one has to go slower on cuts. All and all I am pleased with this saw and look forward to comtinued improvemts.
NOT CLOSE TO GOOD [Posted on 2007-08-29]
i love the 10 inch hitachi
one of the finest tools aval.
but this 12 inch slider
looks like someone wanted to make a diff cool looking saw
thats fine but why make it a poor quality tool
its heavier than most every saw really heavy,one guy will struggle to carry this
and forget getting it through a hall
it claims to need less space behind the saw due to its special slider
i checked from the back of my board to the saw slider all the way back
it takes up more MORE space
THIS IS IMP> the saw moves left to right with the most slop of any slider over $100
did not like this saw
Disappointed [Posted on 2008-03-16]
This saw never made it off of the back of the UPS truck. There had to be at least half a roll of shipping tape holding the box together along with various dents at the corners of the crate. After inspecting the contents of the package, I felt as if I was buying a used product and was surprised and disappointed that someone in Amazon's shipping dept. actually sent this saw out in such poor condition. After I was given a full refund, I decided to take my business to the local tool supply. Although I payed a few bucks more for the saw, it gave me peace of mind that I was not purchasing a used item and wasting my shop time on the phone risking another mishap.
The best miter saw!!!!! [Posted on 2008-05-07]
Now heres a real gem boys... little pricey but well worth every cent you pay for it. Cuts as accurate as any right out of the box... good fine adjustments available. Handy depth stop feature if using an aux fence. Will cut 12" wide!!!! Provisions for hooking up standard vacuum hosing to it.
