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 included 10-inch tungsten carbide tooth (TCT) saw blade makes easy work of delicate trim and other woodwork, and the large extended flip fence raises to 4 inches to allow for accurate cutting of large workpieces up to 2-5/16 inches high and 5-21/32 inches deep.
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.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi C10FCE2 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw
Customer Review: Great saw at a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
After looking at the typical Home Depot and Lowes brands along with their respective prices, I stumbled upon the Hitachi; a brand that I would not have previously considered for a tool of this nature. I found the deal through [...] and began reading reviews. For the price ([...] after MIR), I figured I couldn't go wrong and luckily, I have been very satisfied with my purchase. I have already used the saw to build a cedar potting bench and plan on doing some crown molding around the house.
The good:
The saw arrived perfectly calibrated. I didn't need to change a thing.
The blade that it comes with is quite sufficient for many tasks, but for crown molding, I highly recommend purchasing an 80-tooth carbide blade.
I love the fact that it locks in the down position and has a convenient carry handle. It's also light-weight and compact.
The fence extension and clamp are very helpful.
The slide out stabilization bar is a nice feature to prevent the saw from tipping over.
The not so good:
I agree with the reviews in that the instruction manual is quite poor and I cannot comment on customer service, as I had no need to call.
I would have liked a metal plate on the platform surrounding where the blade comes down...the plastic is cheap and flimsy.
At full tilt, the saw would destroy the cheap plastic mentioned in the line above, as the gap is not wide enough to support the maximum angle.
The dustbag is a nice feature, but while I agree that it's not extremely efficient, I don't think it's as bad as many reviewers said. I still get a considerable amount in the bag.
Sawdust seems to get into the most unreachable places on this saw, which are all covered in a light coat of oil from the factory.
Other thoughts:
I originally wanted a 12" blade, but either that or a sliding version of the 10" would have definitely helped out in a few places.
The laser attachment would have also been a nice add-on for this model.
All in all, this is probably the best bang for the buck if you plan on light use. If you're a seasoned woodworker or contractor, you probably want to spend a bit more money and get a few more bells and whistles.
