Thumb-actuated miter stops facilitate simple adjustments at the most common angles. View larger. | Compound Feature for Precise Miters and Bevels Hitachi designed the C12LDH for versatile, easy use. The thumb-actuated positive miter stops for simple miter adjustments at the most common angles between zero and 52 degrees to the left and right. This design allows you to easily change the angle of the cutting blade for creating miters in crown molding and other trim pieces.The bevel scale ranges from zero to 48 degrees to the left and right, allowing your material to stay in place while you flip the saw head to make opposing cuts, and the saw head bevels to the right or left, also allowing the material to stay securely in place for cutting efficiency. After your major bevel angle is secured, a micro-bevel adjustment knob can be used to dial in a precise angle without the weight of the saw head compromising accuracy. The 12-inch TCT saw blade (included) makes easy work of delicate trim and other woodwork, and the tall, pivoting aluminum fence stands at a height of 5-1/8 inches to allow for accurate vertical cutting of crown molding and cutting of large workpieces up to 2-5/16 inches high and 5-21/32 inches deep. Laser Marker Technology and LCD for Perfect Cuts Hitachi equipped the C12LDH with its exclusive Laser Marker System, which can be activated before the blade is in motion for exact alignment and predictable blade placement. The laser marker is easily adjustable to the left or right of the cut mark to suit your preferences, simply line up the laser with your mark on the workpiece, and the saw blade will make an exact cut along the laser guide. As long as your measurements are right, your cuts will be, too! The C12LDH also includes an innovative LCD (liquid crystal display) that takes the guesswork out of miter and bevel readings and saves time by eliminating costly mistakes. This digital display includes a backlight for clear readings in bright or dim conditions, and it is impact resistant, so it will withstand accidental bumps. Chock-Full of User-Friendly Features The C12LDH has plenty of features to help you make the perfect cut the first time. To start, it has a powerful 15-amp motor that generates a no-load speed of up to 4,000 RPM to smoothly and easily cut through even the toughest hardwoods. For precise, safe cutting, a splinter guard behind the fence increases safety and reduces tear-out for clean, finished cuts, and a comfortable horizontal handle with a vibration-reducing elastomer grip prevents slippage and keeps you in control at all times. Additionally, a large base provides support and balance to prevent material from warping, and a built-in clamping system holds your workpiece in place. An added bonus, easily accessible carbon brushes will help your saw perform for the long term. The Hitachi C12LDH measures 24-5/8 x 30-23/32 x 27 inches and weighs 47.4 pounds. Durably built, this tool is backed with an industry-leading five-year warranty.

great product, QC issues Aug 25, 2010 I'm not a carpenter type pro but a practicing advanced beginner. I read the reviews and chose the C12LDH. Out of the box fine (I did wonder about the packaging given other reviews. It was sparse, but luckily arrived whole.) No probs with the left swing fence.
I've used the saw on five separate occassions for maybe 10 minutes total "cutting" time to put up about 100' feet of frieze board around an octagonal deck. These are 1x9s so the limitiation of 2x8 is a bit of a bummer, requiring extra cuts to finish the end cuts.
Two sessions ago the QC issues started. I'm notoriously careful with tools, esp. power/electric tools. Well the laser is now mis-aligned (not like the alignment described in the manual -- but skewed (its no longer parallel with the blade). Its slight and still has the correct origin so still usable (for this beginner).
The greater concern is the on-off switch. About two sessions ago I nearly lost some flesh&bone because, as I discovered, the unit was plugged in & the power switch Off. Should be ok right? Uhuh. The blade trigger had power (the digital display didn't). Not a happy moment but at least a whew! and then some anger.
Numerous emails to CustServ re the laser skew and the power issue have not been returned. You'd think with a safety issue like this they'd respond pronto. Reading other reviews and in my experience it does seem CS is non-existent.
be aware Mar 21, 2010 I bought the saw after reading lots of reviews, and knowing there was a good chance that the left swing fence would not be correct. Saw arrived with a mis-tooled fence just like the others I read about. Called Amazon to inform them of the common problem with this saw. Too bad for you send the saw back only to likely recieve another reject like the rest. Called cust. service at Hitachi only to be transfered to a retail outlet that has nothing to do with any thing. Called back a few more times, and fianally got some one to send the new parts. After aligning the fences, and laser the saw works like a dream. My only dis-apointment would be the vertical cutting capicity. Can't cut a 1x6 or a 2x6 like a Dewalt can. Other than that it is a excellent tool that I would highly reccomend.
very accurate saw Dec 15, 2009 I purchased the saw after my other saw motor burnt up. I manufacture artist canvas and make thousands of 45 degree cuts and the corners have to fit accurately. The saw is doing a great job. I hope it lasts for ten years or more.
Hitachi C12LDH Dec 09, 2009 The delivery from amazon was prompt. The problems started when I tried to set up the saw for use. One of the flip out fences would not line up right. I found that the fence was twisted. I tried to get a hold of customer service at Hitachi to see if I could get the fence replaced. After 2 e-mails I finally received a customer service number. This was the last time that I heard from them even though I tried to connect with them again with the customer service number. I finally just ordered the part online so that I could use the saw. Amazon was great. Hitachi's customer service was not.
Great!!! Sep 12, 2009 I haven't had it for very long, but so far it has been wonderful. I used it to install crown molding and it was a breeze. I didn't have a single problem. The digital display made for fast adjustments, and the laser saved tons of time and didn't even need to be aligned. What more can you ask for?
