Compound Miter Saw with sliding double bevel.
In this case, a 12 amp motor will be used to do work.
TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT: 0-45 degree bevel angle range. This allows people to flip the saw blade and keep material in place while they do it.
MITER: 57 degree miter angle to the right and 45 degree miter angle to the left. This gives you a lot of freedom.
MITER SCALE: This miter scale is white on black, which makes it easier to see and read.
This is a linear slide system that uses balls to move.
POSSIBLE STOPS: Positive stops on the miter and bevel scale make it easy to read measurements and set things up quickly.
Same tools. A new name. Hitachi power tools have been changed to Metabo HPT.
The Metabo HPT C10FSBS 10-inch sliding dual compound miter saw is ideal for trim carpenters, framers, and woodworkers. It has the best of both worlds. Measurements are easy to read thanks to the positive stops on the miter and bevel scales. They also make it quick to set. With a 45-degree dual bevel angle range, users can quickly flip the saw blade and keep the material in place while they do it quickly. The linear ball bearing slide system and the white on black miter scale make it easier to see and get the right angle. Electronic speed control keeps the RPMs the same, and the electric brake feature prevents the car from cutting in an unintended way.
What’s good. Out of the box, this saw was dead on accurate. I was amazed. Checking with Woodpeck and BridgeCity squares, it didn’t need to be changed. I love the zero clearance bracket because it is very clever because it keeps the blade in place vertically, which is very important. You can also adjust the bottom so that there is almost no space.
The bad. In this saw, there are only mounting holes on the front of its base, and they are in the middle, not on the outside. There are NO REAR MOUNTING BOSSES??? How do you put this on any stand. So, of course, it tips forward when you only bolt down the front. The Bench feet don’t touch the stand mounts because they are in the middle, not the outside. This is why.
The saw is great, but the fence is short compared to the Dewalt one, which is longer. There is also no 50 or 60 on the LS miter. RS only goes to 50. Both Dewalt and I think it’s about 60 on both of them, I think.
This would be almost impossible to get back. I’ll have to figure out how to make my own rear mount.
If you use it at home, it’s a great deal. If you need to be able to move around, this isn’t for you. 10 things “The saw doesn’t have a place to attach to the back.
After using the saw, another big problem is the fence when cutting bevels with it. You start by blowing up your zero insert plate, because for some reason, it doesn’t cut. When you set it to bevel, it just bursts into flames. In order to cut bevels, then the RS fence needs to be taken off. People don’t like that they are only left with 1 “The fence is high. How do you cut the molding on the top of the wall. You have to fold the eLS fence as well as take it down, but you still have a lot of space “A fence and I’m being sarcastic about it, but I’m not.
If you’re going to do crown molding, this saw is a real pain. As long as Dewalt and Makita both have a motor and blade guard that go around the fence, there is no reason not to use them.
If it weren’t such a pain, it would be sent back to the store. A compound bevel saw that can’t even cut 3 lines at a time “It won’t crown unless you do it on the ground or with a jig.
