Bought this model little over 6 years ago (2016) at Lowes for $109 when needing a budget model for home use. I've never had an issue with occasional use and certainly serves its purpose at that price point. Thanks for reviewing.

Just ordered mine today! Thanks for the great review and I was so surprised by the amt of positive reviews. Seems like a real winner!

I have a Hitachi reciprocating saw and it's great. Excellent vibration control. I just bought this 10" radial arm saw but haven't used it yet. Hitachi is a Japanese parent company but their power tools are mostly assembled in mainland China.

Just bought mine reconditioned $54 + $11 shipping. Works great looks great!

Yes, the Hitachi pneumatic nailers are the best, my framing crew has like 6 nailers and a bunch of pneumatic staplers as well. Very durable.

My Hitachi miter saw performs great. The C10 FSH sliding miter saw has smooth sliding mechanisms, cuts accurately, had great reviews and was made in Japan. Hope the newer Hiachi versions are built as well but mine is running too good to need another.

I bought a hitachi 12v Ni-CAD circular, recip, drill kit in 2004 and only the drill broke just this year, everything else is still running great. Just bought this miter and I expect it will last at least 10 years.

I bought the 10” Hitachi miter saw on this review, and it works like a champ! Accurate cuts and very dependable! Great saw for the money!

I have a 12" that I've had for 4-5 years. I like it. It's a good saw. Does what I need.

Hatachi is a great brand. Two things that I love about this saw is that there is five year warrantee and the price.

I have that saw and really like it for the quick on the spot work. Nice for casing trim and other small work. One handed carry and throw on the truck for fast work.

I've used my Hitachi pneumatic crown stapler like crazy. I can't even begin to mention how much subfloor I've put down with that gun. With that being said, I've never had an issue with it. It wasn't a tool that broke the bank, and it's more than payed for itself. That crown stapler is by far the most reliable one I've ever used. Go TIA!

Hitachi- I just bought this today saw also because of the video Dan and Eric made. Saw it here first then saw it (no pun intended) at Lowes for $99 and am stoked!

Just bought a C10FCH2 at the pawn shop. 1980 bought HITACHI VHS CAMERA WAS A GOOD ONE SO I LIKE HITACHI. TRYING TO LEARN ABOUT IT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Nice to see another brand on Tia, might bring in some new fans searching for hitachi products. Great review

The saw blade guard can be locked out of the way when the blade is being changed. Move the saw blade guard all the way back and then insert the bolt that was removed when you installed the handle on the front of the saw or a short dowel. Place the bolt or dowel in the opening at the end of the metal arm on the side of the plastic blade guard. After the bolt or dowel is inserted begin the procedure to change the saw blade. The guard will stay out of the way while the blade is being changed. My saw came with a wrench to change the saw blade it was attached to the saw beside the black carry handle. I hope that this will help make changing the saw blade much easier.

We this a lot on the jobsite, in places where we didn't want to haul a big saw. Also used it along side the DWS780 that way we could have a finishing blade and framing blade going at the same time. Agree completely with the nailer comment. We would only buy their guns. Hitachi framing guns are super light and very durable. Hitachi seems to be a great value.

007Cornhusker We need to test some guns.

They have nailers too that we use at work that are pretty good. I prefer senco or a MAX super framer nailer.

I bought one back in 2015 and love it!

I bought a DeWalt dw717. Out of the box the center of the saw table sagged 0.0015 inch under it's on weight, and the miter table tilted to the right 0.011 inch. I returned the saw. The tables on this saw (hitachi c10fce2) were within 0.002 inch from perfectly flat, aligned, and the miter table did not tilt, so I'm keeping this one. Also it cost 1/4 as much as the DeWalt dw717. I don't need a sliding saw to cut molding. The Dewalt dw717 would be good for framing and shit like that, however they need to beef it up a bit so that the table does not sag under it's own weight. Too flimsy. This was my first disappointment with DeWalt tools, and I have many of their tools.

i have the same one and i love mine i only use it for small projects but it cuts really nice

I like it that TIA covers all tools even if they are not high end tools like all of ChrisK's tools :).

This test is only if you want to saw with a precision miter saw. (not for rough work). Tips and Test: Very important if you would like to saw with precision. (avoid torsion as much as possible)! Always choose a Miter saw with a handle positioned in a vertical line above the saw blade. Everything must be aligned, slide rails, handle, and saw blade,it is much better this way the blade will not tilt. Because there is some torsion in the aluminum housing . And choose an engine with softstart on it to prevent wear of the gear and worm shaft. It is very important that everything is aligned. Here are some examples to show how the handle must be positioned above the blade. Bosch gcm 800 sj / Bosch gcm 8 sjl / Evolution rage 3 / FESTOOL KS 60 / Bosch GCM 8 SDE / FESTOOL KS 60 E KAPEX / Metabo KGSV 72 Xact / Bosch PCM 8 SD / Hitachi C10FSH. (This also is the case with the Miter saw without the slide rails). (If you want). You can test it yourself at home if there is torsion in the aluminum housing. Step-1. First you make a saw cut from +-5 mm deep in to a flat piece of wood about +- 20 mm thick to this with the normal handle positioned on the right side of the Miter saw (the wood it will remain in place until the test is completed). Step-2. Then repeat this by pushing the saw blade down with your hand (finger) on the aluminum protective cover were the saw blade is cased in. Just now only do this without the running engine. Step-3. Now you can see if the saw blade will be positioned in or next to the saw cut. If the saw blade is (+- 0,2 / 0,5 mm) next to the saw cut then there is torsion in the aluminum housing (test is completed). Step-4. therefor it is much better to choose a Miter saw with the handle positioned vertical in line above the saw blade. Conclusion: how further away the handle is from the saw blade how more chance of torsion in the aluminum housing.(don't go for that). Also with a cheap slide miter saw it is still better the handgriff in line a above the saw blade than on the right side. Maybe they will make it someday then we have a winner...

Hitachi is a weird brand they make some good tools, but their marketing isn't the best to be honest. When I think of a power tool brand they are not the one that pops in my head right away like the others.

Of all the 150$-or-less miter saws I've used, here's how I'd rank 'em: Hitachi>Skil>Ryobi>hangnail>toothache>Harbor Freight>punch in the nuts Haven't used Rockwell, HomeCraft (Delta), Kobalt, Wen. I'm probably leaving out some brands I haven't used either.

I've almost bought this saw quite a few times. For the price, it looks like a great deal.

Hitachi is a Japanese company... Great review guys, good points on owning a 10" miter saw. Hitachi makes some really good tools, especially their nailers, I own quite a few of them. interested in more Hitachi tool reviews, Thanks guys!

looks like a nice simple saw.

It seems like great budget saw

love the brand and it is a japanese company

I think I have seen one like it at Costco. Seems like a nice little inexpensive miter saw. Wonder how accurate the different steps are. 45 degrees etc.

I have one I'm a finish carpenter for over 10 years now the like Eric said to cut two by fours 2 by 6 is it's great I use mine for roughing in basements any kind of finish work I wouldn't recommend it

I just used my Christmas Lowe's gift card on one of these for $99.99...looks great coming out of the box and cant wait to see what it will do.

I am constantly having to adjust adjust the vertical degree. Even after tightened, it slightly moves from 0 after a couple of straight cuts. Making my miters not meet nicely. Then I have to loosen and tighten again at 0. Just a little annoying but for 100 it wasn't bad. Boss bought it for the shop. I have the 12" DeWalt 715 at home and is still perfect from out the box and use it as much never moving out of angle. Gets the job done though.

have the same one n that thing is beast

Great little review as always

Will you do a video on how to tilt the blade? I like the saw but there is something that stops the blade from tilting all the way to 45 degrees, and I can't for the life of me figure out what is stopping it.

good video guys I agree with everything that you said I love this miters Saw from Hitachi I know this is a very good saw I have a friend he has 2 saws they really liked him because its price weight and power

Haven't had the need for 12" compound siding saw, but want one bad, but 10" models have been filling 95% of my needs, but Hitachi makes some awesome stuff, have got a lot of Nailers and air compressors, from roofing, framing and finishing, staplers, Hitachi is awesome. But their cordless drills seems like junk just not in same league as the other big guys, but I've used an awesome 2" sds drill for core drilling.

I'm trying to decide between this or the kobalt 7 1/4" sliding miter saw for mainly trim work. I can't find any specs on how large of a piece of wood that the kobalt will cut at a angle though. Is this 10" ideal for trim work? I honestly don't know what to look for in a miter saw since it's my first one I'm wanting to purchase.

How accurate are the 45 degree miter cuts? Thank you

I was just considering buying this saw on eBay. I've seen the price drop a lot in the last year. The one I'm going to buy is under $100. I'll let you know what I personally think about it when I get it in. Great video guys! I'll definitely subscribe.

Never used a Hitachi saw. My primary mitre saw is a DeWalt 12" dual slider that I use for the more accurate cuts. A few years ago I picked up a Craftsman 10" for ~$80 that is used for cutting plastics, vinyl, and other resins. It still works great and this way I don't gum up my DeWalt.

Love Hitachi. I have the 12in sliding compound miter saw and I love it plus thier jigsaws are nice. You get a lot for your money.They just don't get thier name out there like the rest of them but.Maybe TIA can change that.

great little, lightweight saw. no hassle when you move it it around. my 12" saw is at around 80lbs. shouldn't be there a rubber dust chute on that saw?! first i was looking at a hitachi miter saw, but i i went a different way

All i know about them is that they are green and black. Also my friends dad uses their big nailer because he is a roofer and says it works great.

I just bought a Hitachi last year I don't understand why it has a minor pitch in between the cutting blade

I don't know much about hitachi, but I sure see a lot of people using there stuff (mainly just there saws though). The warranty is appealing and the price is ever better. I would be curious to see how it ranks up to a comparative level Dewalt or Bosch.

Hitachi's Triple Hammer impact driver is the best one on the market. I'd definitely recommend that!

On the down side, I saw complaints that Hitichi Importers customer service was not answering their phone or responding to email, so I bought Lowe's 2 year protection plan for $17, and for the next 7 years if the saw has a problem, Lowe's will replace it. Cool. What good is Hitichi's 5 year warranty if their customer service will not answer their phone or respond to email?

Hitachi is Japanese. That is a very popular chop saw. There 12" sliding saw is great also. I love the 12v peak imapct drills from hitachi, I l've had those for awhile now. Also the roofing and framing pneumatic nailers are the best in my opinion.

I'm not sure about all Hitachi tools, but around here, it is said the older 90-series framing guns are rock solid, but it doesn't mean that the saws are great, I'm interest in seeing how that miter will compare to a Bosch or Dewalt.

can you cut thick laminants? 8 1/2 wide? Clean cut?

I would love to see what happens when you return a dewalt product. I have their multi tool witch I love but the sanding head melted when I used it so I went to home depot and played $10 for a new one that melted too,you could probably use the one you have for a return just use the sander on high for a few minutes.

Everyone keeps mentioning that Hitachi is Japanese. The Japanese companies are no more immune to having things made in China than the American companies. Just because it's a Japanese company, don't assume it was made in Japan, ,look at the box.Made in China is not necessarily a bad thing. It depends on the quality control people from Japan that they have overlooking the operation in China. This can be anywhere from none ((the company just gives the specs to the Chinese company and says build it) to a hands on approach that checks out every detail of the manufacturing, right down to vetting the parts suppliers.

It is a compound miter saw. Why did you not show how to do a compound cut?

Hitachi makes the best guns put there gas framing nailer against the paslode now that would.be a tool fight

I have one of the original 10" miter saws, its a hitachi from the mid 80's and my dad gave it to me. I got it and i thought it was the biggest pos ever it took about a minut to cut trough a 2x4 and never cut accurately because of the blade guard had faded so much. Well, i had about $70 and all i could buy was a referbished 7.1/4" in ryobi miter and i figured that wouldnt be much better, so i spent $5 on WD-40 and sprayed some of the mechanisms with it, then i put a new plug for about $2/3, i wrapped the cord in electrical tape and and spraypainted the cord with plastidip to make it more rugged which cost about $10, the i bought stainless steel bolts to replace a few ruined ones for $3, meguire's headlight polish to polish the blade guard so i could see where i was cutting safely, and finally a dewalt blade for $24 and the saw is now a terrific tool! So for $45 i got a saw that is much better that many saws now. Now eventually i needed a 12" saw and when i was researching them i discovered that hitachi still makes these saws and they sell them for get this.... $999.99, so obviously i made the right decision to restore it instead of buying a new saw, i also stayed under my budget. I think i will make a video on my channel talking about it.
