Powerful Motor Provides Smooth, Accurate Cuts
The C10FSB Sliding Dual Compound Miter Saw features a powerful 12-amp motor that generates a no-load speed of up to 3,800 RPM for easily making crosscuts and miters in even the toughest workpieces. The electronic speed control ensures consistent RPM throughout the cut, so you get smooth, precise, controlled cuts each and every time.

Additionally, the C10FSB 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 C10FSB 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.

Chock-Full of User-Friendly Features
The C10FSB 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. For further refinement, a large table provides a stable guide and sturdy support, a built-in clamping system holds your workpiece in place, and an electric brake feature quickly halts the blade to prevent unintended cuts.

The C10FSB 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. It is compatible with Hitachi's UU610 Universal Work Station.

5 out of 5 stars great saw   August 1, 2009
Raymond T. Wolfe III
Hi everyone,
This saw was a replacement to my dewalt 12 double bevel saw.I had considered getting the dewalt 12in slider however I simply could not justify the cost. After reading the reviews concerning the Hitachi,seeing it at my local Lowes store (which by the way was 169.00 more expensive) and speaking to my father who is a professional carpenter ,and owns the smaller version of this saw, I decided this one was for me.
It arrived in 2 weeks which surprised me.The free shipping offered by amazon was GREAT. It came well packaged and nothing was missing ,bent or broken. It took little less than 1/2 hr to pull it from the box and made ready for action. One thing I didn't take into consideration when buying this was the additional space required.Compared to the Dewalt it needed a min of 6 more inches of bench space so keep this in mind.
The slide is smooth and pulls easy. I can make a 12 3/8 cut with no problems. The soft start is nice as the saw doesn't jerk when you pull the trigger. I haven't changed the blade yet so I can't comment there however I don't see any place to store the tools on the saw.
Things I don't like. The handle grip is not the most comfortable which sounds silly however when you are doing a lot of mitering your hand feels it. Also I hate the safety switch that needs to be depressed however a small strip of gorilla tape fixed that issue.
I also wish the aux fence had come with the saw rather than sold as a option.
So over all this is a excellent saw for the money and I'm delighted I have bought it.
regards,
Ray



5 out of 5 stars Good Saw   May 18, 2008
B. M. Schmolze (bar harbor, me)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

Arrived with some deep scratches on the base near the miter adjustments. Amazon shipped me a replacement overnight.

The saw seems great. Stock blade is almost good enough for finish work.

The dual bevel adjustment seems a little haphazard. The dust bag is junk but does a decent job collecting roughly 2/3 the dust.

Everything else seems fine to me. Nice miter controls. I agree that a "D" handle would have been much more comfortable.

I bought it at $439, but got a refund for the difference when it dropped to $349. I would not again pay $439 for it, and definitely would not pay $500+ for it.

I do think it's a great saw, though. Amazon service has been outstanding for me.



4 out of 5 stars Good saw but LOUD   April 6, 2008

As a full time carpenter, I've used this saw day in and day out for 2 years. My second Hitachi saw. Originally I had the old 8" compound miter saw and used it daily until I finally wore it out after 10+ years. Bought this one as a replacement. Light, accurate, great laser, but this thing just screams. You'll really need hearing protection when using it all day.
It's not an issue with the blade. I use several different blades, it's the electric brake. The soft start is nice and smooth, and not too bad noise wise, but let the trigger go and it really shrieks.
Other than that I would certainaly recommend it if you need a good dependable tool.
Just expect to say "What???" a lot at the end of the day.
Might seem to be a silly complaint, but I've had a significant hearing loss after working around power tools for the last 30+ years, so noise levels have become a criteria as important as accuracy and dependability in my book.




2 out of 5 stars I *REALLY* wanted to like this saw...   October 26, 2007
M. J. Sanford (Portland, OR)
6 out of 9 found this review helpful

and for what it costs, I should love it, but I don't. It came with a bowed left fence. After two weeks, I still haven't rec'd the replacement, so I can only make cuts from the right side. The right fence is about an inch tall, i.e. TINY. It slides smooth, and cuts wide stock. The blade it came with is good. The table is also pretty small. The saw I'm replacing is a five-year old 12" Dewalt (dual bevel but no slider), which I still prefer, sad to say(bigger table and fences). A couple of colleagues have the 12" Bosch slider, and love it, which at this point I wish I'd bought. Anybody want my Hitachi 10" slider?

After giving up an accurate 1980's vintage "Skilsaw" 10" Miter Saw for increased capacity only to experience many years of frustration from time and material wasted working,tuning and retuning a 12" Dewalt Dual Bevel Compound Saw and a Delta 10" Radial Arm Saw(returned to merchant),I decided to try the Hitachi C10FSB 10-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Saw.
I settled on the Hitachi C10FSB because of the reviews I have read and my personal experience with Hitachi Customer Service Call Center for a Hitachi Compressor I have owned for nine years.
I am 100% satisfied. Specificly the out of the box quality, uncomplicated manual and most of all the accuracy. The sliding tubes are smooth and have NO sloppy play. The adjustments are accessable and ledgable from the front of the saw which makes it practical for mounting to a permanent location. The dust bag and additional special attention designed into the saw guard surprisingly captures most of the dust generated. However I was able to insert 1 1/2" PVC pipe in place of the supplied bag and a couple of 15 degree elbows and connect the Vacuume hose to it. No need to build a custom dust boot or a new configuration to the dust collector. Blade access is designed well without the need of a third hand to hold the guard out of the way while you are changing the blade. One wrench included fits most of the adjustment hardware including the blade. Minor detail but should mention the safety switch position takes some getting used to but it does keep you aware that you are about to start the saw.
Last comment, it is not a heavy brute to pickup and carry. Well balanced and configured. I plan on bragging about and keeping this saw for a LONG time.
