Hitachi designed the C10FCE2 for versatile, easy use. The thumb-actuated positive miter stops allow for simple miter adjustments between zero and 52 degrees. This design allows you to easily change 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, the Hitachi C10FCE2 provides gorgeous bevels on the first try.

The 10-1/2-inch TCT saw blade (included) makes easy work of delicate trim and other woodwork, and the large extended flip fence raises to four inches to allow for accurate cutting of large workpieces up to 2-5/16 inches high and 5-21/32 inches deep.

Chock-Full of User-Friendly Features
The C10FCE2 has plenty of features to help you make the perfect cut the first time. To start, a 15-amp motor generates a no-load speed of up to 5,000 RPM for making crosscuts and miters with ease, even on the toughest cutting jobs.

For ease of use, a comfortable horizontal handle with a vibration-reducing elastomer grip keeps you in control at all times, a large table provides a stable guide and sturdy support, and a built-in clamping system holds your workpiece in place.

The C10FCE2 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.

Weighing just 26.3 pounds, the C10FCE2 is the lightest tool in its class, making it the most portable 10-inch compound miter saw on the market.

Durably built, this tool is backed with an industry-leading five-year warranty. It is compatible with the UU610 Miter Saw Stand from Hitachi.

What Customers Say About Hitachi C10FCE2 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw:

I'm an occasional user of this saw, and it works great. Saw arrived in excellent condition, very fast. I plan to add a Freud blade to it and expect even better results.

Does all that I want it to as a homeowner and for its portability, as for larger jobs, I have a 12" Rigid in the garage. Nothing broken, brand new out of the box. Could use a finer toothed blade, but that's a nit. Got this 10-inch miter to replace a fire-damaged B&D. Came packaged just fine. Had it less than a week, so have used it sparingly.

Directions are weak too, trying to tell me the wrong way to turn to loosen the bevel. Returning a saw to Amazon is a bit of pain because of the wait time, but you get a full refund on shipping and they pick it up at your door. I returned the first one because the bevel adjustment was so tight that I couldn't loosen. Got the replacement and it works great.

It is a useful improvement and you can't beat the price. Don't get me wrong, these are not the level of tool that one would choose to call furniture grade though. My DeWalt Heavy-Duty 12-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw takes two people to carry comfortably, and requires a good dedicated stand to hold it. They are light weight and easy to lug around. This is an excellent saw for the price.

Both are from Hitachi, and both are light duty saws. I added the laser cutting guide from Rockler, selling for $12.50. What makes these saws great is the weight. You can expect it to do 90% of what you buy a miter saw for, and do it well. I also have the table saw version of this type of saw,the job site saw.

They both have enough power to do most tasks that you will encounter at a job site and enough accuracy too. By way of contrast, this saw weighs about fifteen pounds and can operate comfortably on an upturned trash can.

During my several hours of cutting, the bag collected almost nothing. Thought that was odd since this indicates some kind of misalignment in the cutting assembly. First, the dust bag is pretty much useless. For those advanced folks out there, be careful since this saw may not be your first choice.

I also noted that tiny slivers of the plastic piece (which is part of the saw) upon which you place the wood got sliced off during cutting. This is my first saw, and at the price I paid, it is cheaper to own than to rent a miter saw from a place like Home Depot. Luckily, this does not interfere with cutting accuracy. At some point, I will read the instruction booklet and figure out how to use those. It did a fine job of cutting 90/45-degree angles. I am definitely not as skilled with wood-working as others out there but I had no trouble working with this saw. There are a some notable drawbacks of this model, however. Second, there is no laser guide, so there is some guesswork involved at least initially.

All in all, this is an okay tool and I look forward to using it in future projects. Bought this on Amazon for a simple apartment baseboard project. I didn't even use all the attachments that it came with. I don't understand why a tool-maker like Hitachi can't put an imprint by the cutting edge which clearly indicates exactly where the saw will make the cut.
