Compound Feature for Precise Miters and Bevels
Hitachi designed the C12LSH for versatile, easy use. The miter scale ranges between zero and 46 degrees to the left and zero and 57 degrees to the right, and a micro-miter knob lets you dial in precise angles. Additionally, positive miter stops allow 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 45 degrees to the left and right, allowing your material to stay in place while you flip the saw head to make opposing cuts. After your major bevel angle is secured, a micro-bevel adjustment knob can be used to dial in a precise angle, while positive stops allow for quick and easy measurements and settings. The 12-inch TCT saw blade (included) makes easy work of delicate trim and other woodwork, and the pivoting fence raises a height of 4-11/16 inches to allow for accurate vertical cutting of crown molding and other large workpieces. Compact Slide System Requires Zero Clearance
With its revolutionary compact slide system, the C12LSH requires no rear clearance like other sliding saws. Hitachi's patented fixed rail system allows the saw head to glide smoothly along twin rails, which stay put and do not protrude to the rear of the saw. The result is a sliding saw that can be operated on a small work surface that has minimal rear clearance, such as up against a wall. This innovative new feature is just one of the reasons that the Hitachi C12LSH was named one of the "Top 10 Innovative Tools for 2006" by Workbench Magazine, February 2006. Laser Marker Technology and LCD for Perfect Cuts
Hitachi equipped the C12LSH 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 C12LSH 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 top-mounted digital scale swivels to provide clear and accurate miter and bevel readings from any angle. Chock-Full of User-Friendly Features
The C12LSH 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 3,800 RPM to smoothly and easily cut through even the toughest hardwoods. For precise, safe cutting, a fixed splinter guard increases safety and reduces tear-out for clean, finished cuts, and a comfortable vertical handle with a vibration-reducing elastomer grip prevents slippage and keeps you in control at all times. The C12LSH also includes a dust bag that minimizes accumulation of dust and particles in your both your workspace and the saw's interior components, keeping your jobsite clean and prolonging the life of the tool. An added bonus, easily accessible carbon brushes will help your saw perform for the long term. The Hitachi C12LSH measures 23-7/16 x 36-5/8 x 27-15/16 inches and weighs 66.1 pounds. Durably built, this tool is backed by an industry-leading five year warranty. About Hitachi: A Tradition of Innovation

 Not enough adjustment to fence Aug 04, 2010
I purchased the saw because almost everything in my shop is Hitachi. I had been doing a lot of crown and needed the extra cutting height. I got it, no damage, I was happy. I read the reviews and lots of them show up broken. It is heavy, so I bought a Porter Cable Stand, great stand by the way, and set it up. The fence just wouldn't adjust far enough to be 90 degrees from the blade. It was off 3/16 and full length. I called Hitachi service, they suggested I take it to a local Authorized service center. I did, it took two weeks and they got it better but not right. Slide bar was twisted they said. I called the shipper, they are great to deal with.( Tyler Tools) They sent me a new one in two days. They even sent a return slip for the old one. I got it today. Bevel adjustment knob, is broken, fine, I'll get the old one before I ship it. Now the fence issue. This one is close, real close. It is a perfect 90 on right side, and off a 16th on left. The fence just wont come in that last bit. I tried loosening both sides and screwed with it for two hours, no way to get both sides to 90 and in line with each other. I have a solution though. Remove left side fence, drill out hole a little to give me that 16th I need. Laser won't adjust far enough for use, not that I use it anyway. The first one had a perfect laser, maybe I should take it off before I ship it back. Anyway, the saw will be fantastic when I get it right. Nothing else out there any better. I give the saw three stars, I give Tyler tools a 5 plus star. I give Hitachi service center in Ga, 5 stars,super friendly folks but the one in Clearwater they are nice guys, but I would have thought they would fix it or replace it. They did neither.
 Impressive May 20, 2010
This is my first slider. Using this tool in the shop and not on the jobsite. I only have so much space and this tool sits down right where my Dewalt 12" CMS sat. The design of the rails is great. The cut quality and accuracy is fantastic, but the best part for me is the space saving slider feature.
GREAT MACHINE Jul 16, 2009
Fit a finish, by far the best saw on the market for the price and above.
C12LSH Monster Jul 16, 2009
This saw is a monster. It is literally huge. I mounted it to the MSUV from Home Depot which makes it very portable. The saw has plenty of power. Stock blade is ok. Slides are ultra smooth. The laser is handy. I find that the LCD has little value. I just don't ever look at it. Dust extraction is minimal as stated by many others. For $429 at Amazon I could not go wrong.
Great Saw!! Return policy? Well...... Jul 13, 2009
The saw is amazing...buy it, you will not be disappointed. As for Amazon's return policy, not so good. Granted, they will replace an item damaged during shipping, but consider this scenerio. The mitre adjust knob broke off during shipping when the saw shifted in the box. No big deal...right? Wrong, Amazon's return policy required that I return the entire saw and they would ship me another saw. Far too much trouble for an easily installed, small part. I bought a new knob ($28) from an online parts house and installed it myself. Amazon could move to the next level of customer satisfaction by expanding/enhancing their return policy options.
