C12LSH – Hitachi C12LSH 15 Amp 12-Inch Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter saw

A professional woodworker, or very serious home woodworker, needs serious equipment. The Hitachi C12LSH 15 amp 12-inch, dual bevel, sliding compound miter saw, with laser guide, and digital bevel display is about as serious of a miter saw as you can find.

With a 12″ blade, and a 15 amp motor, you are ready to make cuts on even your largest projects. For this saw, ripping through 8 inch to 12 inch wide wood is just part of a day’s business. You can even cut through wood up to 4″ thick. To make sure you can cut your molding even in a vertical position, the Hitachi C12LSH allows you to flip up the fence, and cut molding over 4″ tall.

One of the most outstanding features of this saw is the digital bevel display, and the dial controls for your micro-adjustments. Get your saw locked in on the closest stop for your cut, then use the micro-adjustment knobs to fine tune the cut. It’s easy to see the settings are perfect using the LCD display, which gives you clear and accurate readouts of both the bevel and miter angles. Once you have everything dialed in perfectly, turn on the laser guide to guarantee you are aligned perfectly on the board. If you make a bad cut with all the accuracy provided with this system, it’s time to buy a new tape measure and pencil, something was wrong with your mark.

Being built for a professional, this saw is intended to take intense daily work. Many manufacturers only offer a short warranty on their saws, and can’t take the abuse demanded out on a build site. Hitachi expects you to work the Hitachi C12LSH miter saw hard, and stands behind it with a 5 year warranty. Don’t settle for anything less, you need to be up and working every day, or you are losing money.

Don’t mistake the Hitachi C12LSH 15 amp 12-inch, dual bevel, sliding compound miter saw, with laser guide, and digital bevel display as a standard lightweight miter saw for the home. This is a heavy weight saw, ready for serious action. Ideally it should be mounted on a miter saw stand for the highest level of safety. At a shipping weight of 90 pounds, you are not going to want to be pulling this saw in and out of the garage every weekend, but it is the perfect saw for serious projects.
