Background

The Hitachi C10FCH is a 10-inch sliding compound miter saw, a type of power tool used for making precise crosscuts and miter cuts at various angles. Manufactured by Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd., it was introduced in 2010.

The miter saw is equipped with a dual bevel sliding compound feature, allowing it to cut material up to 3-3/4 inches thick at 90 degrees and 2-3/4 inches thick at 45 degrees. The miter angle range is 0-57 degrees left and right, with positive stops at common angles, while the bevel range is 0-45 degrees left and right. The tool comes with a built-in laser marker to assist with cut alignment and a tall sliding fence capable of supporting crown molding vertically up to 5-1/2 inches tall. The sliding system uses steel linear ball bearings for a smoother sliding action. The 15-amp motor powers the 10-inch 24-tooth TCT saw blade at up to 4,000 RPM. The saw's base is constructed from aluminum die-cast material. The blade's position can be adjusted using a thumb-actuated lever on the side of the saw. The fence can be pivoted out of the way after each cut and the saw features a dust collection port for cleanliness.
