 Worth the Money February 27, 2009
D. L. Little (Bolivar)
I was looking for a miter saw and expected to pay alot more than this product sold for. A plus was that it was a compound miter saw. I read the previous reviews on a couple of models that I was interested in and this, by far had the best reviews. I received the item in two days with free shipping threw Amazon. I have not had a chance to use it yet, but I am very impressed with the quality and the easy of use. I have extensive knowledge in woodworking, (was a journeyman wood patternmaker for 30 years). I will admit the instruction for assembly could have been printed a little larger with a little more detail, but other that that I am pleased with the product
 Great saw, great features, great price! February 26, 2009

This saw was bought as a replacement for a contractor grade Craftsman compound miter saw and boy... I should have upgraded sooner!
The Craftsman saw weighs in at 55 lbs which makes it a pain to move and setup, however with this Hitachi weighing in at half the weight (just 26 lbs) not only makes it easier to move and setup it feels as well constructed as the Craftsman, if not better constructed. Also the built in carrying handle on top of this saw means no more having to carry it awkwardly or smashing my fingers!
The motor is nice and powerful and can easily cut through pressure treated 4x4 posts, 2x4s, you name it it cuts through it with ease. And the saw itself adjusts to pretty much any angle and beveling degree you can possibly need. The large fence allows you to cut some of the largest pieces of wood (like crown molding, window trim, etc.) without having to figure out a weird and dangerous way to hold the piece of wood while you make the cut. I can't remember how many times I've had to hold a piece awkwardly while making a cut because the fence is too short.
The added vise assembly is a HUGE plus, something that some of the more expensive saws don't even include.
Now you're thinking why did I give it only 4 stars? The dust bag only does a mediocre job at collecting dust and it's made in China... thats right a Japanese company making stuff in China. I really would have preferred to see it made in Japan or the US. It is covered by a five year warranty and made to the high standards of Hitachi... so it is a trade off.
Overall I would highly recommend this saw to anyone.
Pros:
Powerful.
Light-weight but very well constructed.
Fairly quiet, even for a miter saw.
Built in handle on the top of the unit makes transportation and setup much easier.
Comfortable handle.
Cons:
Made in China.
Dust bag doesn't collect a whole lot of dust... better then nothing though.

I was replacing my at least 10 year old Hitachi C10 with the newer model. So far I love it. For the last couple of years I have cut aluminum on my old C10 almost exclusively (Aluminum thresholds and door frames). My old saw still works, but after years of abuse the bearing that locks the mitre table into the set angles fell out. The only thing I had done to the saw was to replace the table insert and the chip deflector. No oil, brushes or anything else. If this new saw is half as good I will consider myself way ahead of the game.

Hitachi C10FCE2 10-Inch compound miter saw The saw work great but the product description include's a LASER GUIDE SYSTEM. This miter saw doesn't have this system. This was one of the reason I bought it. BUT to my surpise, no LASER! This was a reconditioned sale. Compare model description before purchase.
Great entry level miter saw! December 6, 2008

Received the Hitachi C10FCE2 yesterday after a longer wait than usual from Amazon. But still within the window they specify.
Assembled the saw accessories in about 5 minutes (flip over fence, rear stabilizer bar, and hold down) and took it out to my shop. First up was a standard pine 2x4. Plugged in the saw and gave the trigger a pull. The first thing I noticed as a nice soft start mechanism, very nice. The blade started spinning and had little to no vibration. I love the horizontal anti vibe handle. Pulled the saw down and cut through the 2x4 like a hot knife through butter. I was impressed at this price point. Next up were some miter cuts. 52 degrees left and right, no problem. The indicator is very thin which makes for more exacting measurements, again very nice. Next up, bevel. Went to 45 degrees, gave the handle a tug and i had a clean 45 degree bevel. Checked the angles and they were spot on, right from the factory. I cut 2x6's, stacked 2 2x4's, and stacked 2 2x6's and it cut them without any problems or bogging down. This saw will cut 4x4 posts no problem at 90 degrees.
With the 5 year warrantee and a saw that performs like this you can't go wrong at $99.00 with free shipping.
