I work as a professional contractor. During past few years I was using various different compound miter saws and to be honest - the one that I like the most is definitely Hitachi 10 inch sliding one.
Hitachi company has built many high quality products so this one turned out to be very durable and reliable as well. Quality and wide range of features make this tool number one in its price range. In this article I'll try to make detailed descriptions of every useful feature of this high quality sliding compound miter saw!
Compound Saw
First of all, there is an electric brake. By reversing the flow of electricity, it immediately stops the blade. This is very useful if something goes wrong because blades tend to be very sharp. This way blade is stopped in less than a second.
After that, there is electronic speed control. This piece of software electronically controls the RPM of the blade and ensures constant speed from the beginning to the end of the cut. This feature gives you increased control over workpiece.
Additionally, there is also new type of transmission - Poly-V-Belt transmission. It is much better than regular transmission because it reduces recoil during startup.
Also, there is adjustable pivot fence and line ball-bearing slide system in case you need increased capacity or to make cuts deeper than 12-13 inches. For precision and accuracy there is a built-in laser system. Usually it works right out of the box. However, in case there are needed some adjustments - it can be easily done without reading the manual in a matter of few minutes. And after that you can have perfectly accurate cuts.
All those features on one sliding compound miter saw sound really good, don't they? Combine that with above-average materials and you'll get the best tool on the market!

Precise Miter and Bevel Cuts
The LS1016L 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 to accommodate a variety of cutting applications. The saw miters 0 degrees 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 0 to 45 degrees (left and right), with positive stops at 22.5, 33.9, and 45 degrees (left and right). Precision adjustments are made easier 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. For more precise cuts, a built-in laser indicates the line of cut whether the blade is turning or not, and also includes an on-off switch and micro-adjustments for precise "left-of-blade" or "right-of-blade" cutting.
Ergonomic and Compact Design
In addition to the large cutting capacity, power, and accuracy, the LS1016L offers a range of convenience and ease-of-use features. The LS1016L has less weight and the most compact design in its class, so it's portable and more easily transported. In addition, the patented Four-Steel Rail Sliding System requires two inches less rear space than competitor 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 ergonomic rubberized horizontal D-handle design has a better fit and added comfort, and the large trigger switch is designed for easier operation.
15 AMP Power, Smoother, Higher-Quality Cutting
The LS1016L has a 15 AMP direct gear box 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 Application
The LS1016L 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 best-in-class 10-inch dual slide compound miter saw for the jobsite or on the benchtop.
