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.

5very 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.

2Hitachi 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.

5Great!!!  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?

5Digital readout is a nice touch - helps will consistancy  Aug 23, 2009
I have only used a few times, and so far I am very pleased. I only wish the laser was brighter for working in bright light. However, I live in Texas and I try to find shade whenever possible. The factory blade is not bad, but is not meant to be used for fine work so I picked up a Hitachi 726101 90 tooth blade for the better detail work. This saw works very well and the much of the saw dust actually goes into the dust bag. I am anxious to get to use it more to see how it does with other projects. I only wish I would have had this saw when I built my moms pergola and crown molding work...They turned out great but it would have been much easier and faster with this saw.
P.S. I bought a Ryobi miter saw stand for $99 that works well with this saw and it's a great value compared to the others on the market.

4Big & Heavy  Aug 04, 2009
I had the 10" version of this machine for about 12 years until it was stolen off a jobsite so I bought this one with all the bells & whistles, to replace it. It's much heavier & larger so it's a lot more for one guy to carry, that's my only complaint. It's a monster. Use it to cut large crown, shelving, ect. It works great.
