Bought this on Amazon for a simple apartment baseboard project. It did a fine job of cutting 90/45-degree angles. This is my first saw, and at the price I paid, it is cheaper to own than to rent a miter saw from a place like Home Depot. I am definitely not as skilled with wood-working as others out there but I had no trouble working with this saw. I didn't even use all the attachments that it came with. At some point, I will read the instruction booklet and figure out how to use those. There are a some notable drawbacks of this model, however. First, the dust bag is pretty much useless. During my several hours of cutting, the bag collected almost nothing. Second, there is no laser guide, so there is some guesswork involved at least initially. I don't understand why a tool-maker like Hitachi can't put an imprint by the cutting edge which clearly indicates exactly where the saw will make the cut. I also noted that tiny slivers of the plastic piece (which is part of the saw) upon which you place the wood got sliced off during cutting. Thought that was odd since this indicates some kind of misalignment in the cutting assembly. Luckily, this does not interfere with cutting accuracy. All in all, this is an okay tool and I look forward to using it in future projects. For those advanced folks out there, be careful since this saw may not be your first choice.Get more detail about Hitachi C10FCE2 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw.
