Product description

Hitachi C12FDH 15-Amp 12-Inch Dual Compound Miter Saw with Laser Marker.

The Hitachi C12FDH 12-Inch Dual Compound Miter Saw with Laser Marker provides smooth, accurate miters and crosscuts in a variety of workpieces, including wood, plywood, crown molding, decorative panels, soft fiberboard, hardboard, and aluminum sashes. An ideal tool for trim carpenters, framers, and woodworkers who demand precision and reliability, the C12FDH features Hitachi's exclusive Laser Marker System for exact alignment, cutting accuracy, and predictable blade location.

Compound Feature for Precise Miters and Bevels

Hitachi designed the C12FDH for versatile, easy use. The thumb-actuated positive miter stops for simple miter adjustments at the most common angles between zero and 52 degrees to the left and right. This design allows you to easily change the angle of the cutting blade for creating miters in crown molding and other trim pieces.

The bevel scale ranges from zero to 48 degrees to the left and right, allowing your material to stay in place while you flip the saw head to make opposing cuts, and the saw head bevels to the right or left, also allowing the material to stay securely in place for cutting efficiency. After your major bevel angle is secured, a micro-bevel adjustment knob can be used to dial in a precise angle without the weight of the saw head compromising accuracy.

The 12-inch TCT saw blade (included) makes easy work of delicate trim and other woodwork, and the tall, pivoting aluminum fence stands at a height of 5-1/8 inches to allow for accurate vertical cutting of crown molding and cutting of large workpieces up to 2-5/16 inches high and 5-21/32 inches deep.

Laser Marker Technology for Perfect Cuts Everytime

Hitachi equipped the C12FDH with its exclusive Laser Marker System, which can be activated before the blade is in motion for exact alignment and predictable blade placement. The laser marker is easily adjustable to suit your preferences, simply line up the laser with your mark on the workpiece, and the saw blade will make an exact cut along the laser guide. As long as your measurements are right, your cuts will be, too!

Chock-Full of User-Friendly Features

The C12FDH has plenty of features to help you make the perfect cut the first time. To start, it has a powerful 15-amp motor that generates a no-load speed of up to 4,000 RPM to smoothly and easily cut through even the toughest hardwoods.

For precise, safe cutting, a splinter guard behind the fence increases safety and reduces tear-out for clean, finished cuts, and a comfortable horizontal handle with a vibration-reducing elastomer grip prevents slippage and keeps you in control at all times. Additionally, a large base provides support and balance to prevent material from warping, and a built-in clamping system holds your workpiece in place. An added bonus, easily accessible carbon brushes will help your saw perform for the long term.

The Hitachi C12FDH measures 24-5/8 x 30-23/32 x 27 inches and weighs 46.3 pounds. Durably built, this tool is backed with an industry-leading five-year warranty.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could anyone tell me how to service the laser? Is it battery powered or powered off the saw? Can't seem to get it to work
Answer:	Hi, I have gone through 1"thick x 2" long piece of mahogany and walnut . You may have to play with the different speeds I used the middle speed and it went through lovely so long as you take it easy and don't push it to hard. I have to say for the price this is a great little saw ,which I use primarily for cutting wood for my model boats so most of the wood I cut with it is basswood . It does have a bit of a kick back so you have to make sure you have the fence set to give the back of the blade a little clearance . I find the drill chuck very handy for polishing and deburring parts. This is a great mini table saw. Pete
Question:	Are there bevel stops? If so, how many
Answer:	24 volt DC , no battery
Question:	Are the detent locks solid, or is there play before you clamp down
Answer:	This is a great little saw with a Chuck for drilling, sanding n polishing. It is variable speed n although I don't know the RPMS, but it goes down pretty slow. Cuts through hardwood like butter! The only thing I don't like about this saw is you cannot raise n lower the blade- that would make this mini table saw incredible! Very sturdy, heavy for its small size- very well constructed.
Question:	can this saw miter 5 1/4 baseboards vertically
Answer:	Hello. You can use it for jade polishing, jade carving, large size cutting, polishing, engraving.
