This was my first miter/chop saw and i looked around alot before buying it. I compared dewalt 723, craftsman and join of other models from home depot.
Dewalt was twice as expensive ($209) and craftsmans from sears was pretty darn cheap and althoug you could buy a sliding compound miter for less that $200, the feature wasn’t good. There were many complaints about cheap artificial parts and even cheaper angle/cut feature. Other ryobi and makita were similar into hitachi and dewalt, except werent’ that popular and couldn’t find many reviews.
After all this analysis and talking into join of contractors, they suggested that Hitachi C10FCE2 is equally good and i ended up arrangement one from amazon.
I arrived in 2 days (with free shipping) and since the blades are new you could you use it into cut moulding right out of the box. But may be when you cut 2×4s for few months, you might poverty a newer blade with more teeths. The building of the saw itself is strong and it comes with few accessories.
Dust bag isn’t very useful as it captures single part of the dust, except that’s true with all other brands as well. I haven’t tried mounting it on a stand, except have heard citizen complain about incompatibility with dewalt miter stand.
Used it join of time for miter and compound miter, and all the angles were perfect with fine cuts.
I highly recommed this saw.
