The same tools are used. The name has been changed. Metabo HPT has replaced Hitachi Power Tools as the company’s primary brand.
It is possible to use a compact slide system that allows the saw head to slide along fixed rails without the need for rear clearance.
The use of a Hitachi laser marker system improves cutting precision.
The C12RSH2 is a top-of-the-line 12″ Sliding Dual Compound Miter saw that is ideal for trim carpenters, framers, and woodworkers who require precision and dependability in their work. In addition, it is equipped with a compact slide system that requires no additional clearance. The fixed rail system allows the saw head to glide smoothly along the fixed rails, eliminating the need for the rear clearance that is required by other sliding miter saw models. The compact slide system reduces the footprint of the saw by up to a foot, allowing you to save valuable floor space in any shop environment where space is limited. Aside from that, the saw is equipped with tall sliding fences that enable it to cut through much larger pieces of material while also easily sliding out of the way when making bevel cuts. Even the most inexperienced user can make perfect, accurate cuts with the toolless laser marker, which is easily adjustable..
It’s impossible to argue with money. It’s a nice touch to have the laser set to either side of the kerf. There is no slow start, and there is no anti centrifugal element, so it is jerky when it is first started and then stopped. Guards and accessories have a flimsy feel to them. It’s not a Kapex, either. However, it costs a quarter of the price of the competition and performs well in comparison to other compound miter saws on the market. The low price makes it a no-brainer for a saw that needs to be precise enough to get the job done.
Returning the saw to its original position. Unless you make constant adjustments, it will simply cease to be true. There are numerous times that every movable part of it needs to be set and reset. Consider the possibility of cutting trim with miters. After five cuts, you’re no longer in the center of the square. As a result, you must stop working and repair the saw. The laser set point moves at the same rate as the laser, making it ineffective. In the end, it was more expensive to maintain and operate than a Kapex, so that’s what I replaced it with. Shame. In addition, an adapter is required in order to use a dust extractor. This is the result of a design oversight.
