Compound Feature for Precise Miters and Bevels
Hitachi designed the C12FDH 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 for Perfect Cuts Everytime
Hitachi equipped the C12FDH 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 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!

Chock-Full of User-Friendly Features
The C12FDH 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 C12FDH measures 24-5/8 x 30-23/32 x 27 inches and weighs 46.3 pounds. Durably built, this tool is backed with an industry-leading five-year warranty.

Large Cutting Capacity and Increased Accuracy
The LS1016 has an innovative direct-drive gearbox and patented retractable guard system engineered for increased vertical cutting capacity. At 6-5/8 inches, the LS1016 has the largest crown molding cutting capacity (vertically nested) in its class. The patented retractable rear guard also provides the LS1016 with 4-3/4-inch baseboard cutting capacity (vertical) and a 12-inch capacity at 90 degrees. In addition, the exclusive six linear ball bearings deliver smooth, solid, and adjustment-free accurate cuts. The saw also has a patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System that further increases rigidity to produce superior cuts, as the four steel rails provide less deflection. The result is a larger cutting capacity and more accuracy.

Precise Miter and Bevel Cuts
The LS1016 has an exclusive 4-3/4-inch sliding fence system, with four sliding fences featuring upper and lower fence adjustments for more precise miter and bevel cuts in a variety of cutting applications. The saw miters 0 to 52 degrees left and 0 to 60 degrees right, with positive stops at 0, 15, 22.5, 31.6, and 45 degrees (left and right). The dual rear-handle bevel lock is easily accessible with adjustments from 0 to 45 degrees (left and right), with positive stops at 22.5, 33.9, and 45 degrees (left and right).

Precise adjustments are made easy with dual front bevel scales for improved visibility. The easy one-touch (push in & turn) miter lock system is designed for accurate adjustments and increased efficiency.

Ergonomic and Compact Design
In addition to the large cutting capacity, power, and accuracy, the LS1016 offers a range of convenient and ease-of-use features. The LS1016 has less weight and the most compact design in its class, so it's portable and easily transported. In addition, the patented 4-Steel Rail Sliding System requires 2-inches less rear space than competing dual sliding miter saws. The see-through blade guard system provides greater visibility of blade and line of cut and has a one-step blade change process for increased efficiency. The rubberized horizontal D-handle design has an ergonomic fit for added comfort, and the large trigger switch is designed for easy operation.

15 AMP Power for Smoother, Higher-Quality Cutting
The LS1016 has a 15 amp direct-drive gearbox motor that never slips, bogs down, or requires maintenance like belt-driven saws. The soft-start feature delivers smoother start-ups, and the electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load for smoother, higher-quality cutting.

Best in Class for a Range of Applications
The LS1016 is engineered for finish work, remodeling, trim work, and furniture making. It is ideal for a broad range of trades, including finish carpenters, professional woodworkers, case and base installers, cabinet installers, cabinet manufacturers, closet installers, decking and flooring applications, siding installers, stair installers, and general contractors seeking a superior 10-inch dual slide compound miter saw for the jobsite or on the benchtop. The LS1016 is just another example of Makita's commitment to innovative technology and best-in-class engineering.
