I've had my miter saw for about three years now, and it's still plugging right along with no problems. I have yet to find a job it can't handle. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Great value over many years!
Rating: 5
I bought this model over 10 years ago, and have used it many, many times over this period of time. It was used by the Boy Scouts for 2 different Eagle Scout projects, and loaned out for use in a neighborhood hit with basement floodings to do repair work. I finally bought a new blade, and it still works like new. Built for precision. Bought son-in-law the same model last year, which has been used extensively for home remodeling.

Great results!

This saw was easy to set up and I get accurate cuts every time. Blade changes are easy. The saw has plenty of power for heavy duty cutting as well as the finesse to make more delicate cuts. I really enjoy this saw! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I love this thing
Rating: 5
When I finally lay this saw to rest it will be replaced with a 12" slide miter saw. Even the weight won't stop me from bringing this saw to the job. From finish to rough this thing is a beast. I had to purchase a saw blade arbor adapter (DWAMTRABR) to fit the 12" blade. But I love it. I've considered getting the laser but works well without it.

Excellent Compound Miter Saw
Rating: 5
I have been using this saw for 3 months now and have been very happy with the results. It creates very accurate cuts with and is easy to adjust when switching to different angles. The fence is very sturdy and large enough to hold most materials. If you are doing trim work, I highly recommend investing in the crown stops that are available for this model. Overall, I feel like this is a very high quality product.

Great saw
Rating: 4
Bought this saw about 10 or so years ago and was great. Recently I can't get 90 degree cuts. Saw is unplugged and guard is clamped. Arm is in the home position(up all the way) and I have my electronic Wixey gauge mounted to the side ( magnetic) of my new 12 inch blade with 100 teeth. Saw set at 90 degrees and I slowly bring the arm down all the way and my gauge reads 89.5 degrees. This is too much out of alignment for making jewelry boxes. Checked everything to manual and I believe that my problem is in the trunion and pivot pin. I need some help. When I call the customer service I get no help. They tell me to take it to a service center for $185.00. Has anyone experienced this problem, I need your help. Thanks, Abbey Thomas

Cracks in casting
Rating: 2
How many people tilt the saw back and look for cracks? I bought a DW716 and when I went to engrave my 4 digit I.D. number on it and it was cracked in several places.

Excellent! Saw

My first powered Miter Saw. I did quite a lot of research And ultimately decided on this model. I purchased the stand along with the saw. Amazed how easy it is to move around...like a hand truck. Hoping it lasts for many years.

Great first mitre saw
Rating: 5
I am just getting into woodworking and needed a mitre saw. I found this on sale at a very god price. I have not had a chance to use it much yet but so far I am loving it. I especially like the zero clearance feature with the slide toward the front instead of the rear, so that it can be placed against a wall. The only think that I am not in love with is how far the table and miter adjustment stick out the front, but I suppose this cannot be helped and maintain the cut depth. I have not yet used it with a shop vac but the included dust bag seems to do a pretty good job, better than I expected. This saw was a decent buy at the original price but the sale price made it a no-brainer.

Great Saw
Rating: 5
I bought this saw to replace an older model that I can't get parts for anymore. My older saw had been rebuilt/ refurbished three times and I bought it used. I am Thoroughly satisfied with this newer version. I really like the fact that I don't have to reach around the blade to adjust the bevel plus the fact that the saw slides ion the rails...not the saw and rails sliding through the base. As such I don't have to keep the saw so far from what's behind it. The gradual start as compared to the jerking start when I pull the trigger is also a plus. If I had the money I would but another one for home. I thoroughly recommend this product to everybody who is thinking about buying a Good Miter Saw.

Good Product and Price

This was an upgrade from my starter compound miter saw. This one had the improved functions and features I wanted. The employees at a local wood working store recommended a different brand and model but it was about twice the price of the Hitachi.

Want to love it, but...
Rating: 3
I've been heavily using this Hitachi C10FSHC for five (5) months now and here is my summary. Pros: - Love the soft start (feels much more controlled) - Zero clearance - Laser, while finniky and a little wonky, is helpful and at least accurate when blade is near the work - LED light is helpful in various conditions - Front bevel lock is really convenient - Safty switch - if it's going to have one, this is in the perfect spot on the handle for left handed cuts - Just feels like a nice saw Cons: - Fence system... Fail. This is the biggest problem. The thing isn't even close to square (see pic). The bottom sections are good, however once you add the top, sliding sections it can NOT be trusted. This is fine for 90 degree cuts, but will mess up every simple or compound angle. - Laser is all kinds of weird. Seems like it was fine out of the box, then it just stopped lining up correctly. It's accurate once you get on the work, but up to that point it's way off. Can't figure out how to make the thing align right. Adjusting it is a sad experience, super course. - Upper, sliding fence system gets in the way of right leaning bevel cuts - You can cut the fence if you slide it in to far (duh) - Bevel angle gauge can be difficult to read when dust gets behind the wide plastic marker Typical: - Dust collection is so-so In total, I really want to love the saw, a lot of potential, however it misses the mark for a person that is particular like I am. Three stars primarily due to a the fence system being weighted much more than the other items noted. I cannot recommend this saw due to the inaccuracy of cuts - cheaper saws can be purchased to achieve the same quality. My review is based on a sample of one saw.
