12" Compound Miter Saw with LCD Display - C12LC  Product Reviews

"I had a 10" Ryobi Miter Saw. I gave that to my mom when I bought this awesome Hitachi 12" Compound Miter. I used it to build my house and it is really nice. I recommend this saw. I got a great amazon price."

"but I'm not sure if I like it for the woodworking I do. I think it's great for decking and cutting framing but for more delicate work like furniture and small mouldings I don't know yet. I've replaced the blade with a nice Armana blade but it doesn't seem to cut all that straight or smooth. I haven't had the time yet to completely explore the issues and will soon before I update my review."

"I bought this saw when it was on a major sale so I think I paid substantially less that what it's going for now. Nonetheless, I would purchase it again at it's current price. The saw works beautifully. The controls and adjustments are smooth and easy to use. It fits perfectly on the StableMate Universal Saw Stand I bought to go with it. We've been building a kid's fort/swingset/deck/climbing wall/etc. for the past year. I got tired of borrowing my brother's saw so I finally bought my own. I normally buy DeWalt (which is what I was borrowing) but I have to say this is a great saw as well."

"I have not use the miter saw yet, but when first opened the box today, I received a broken handle due to poor packaging. No protection! Just the cardboard from the box. Amazon was great about their customer service. Anyhow, I gave it a 1 star due to the lack of packaging protection. It probally would have made a great saw, but not this time."
