## Overview

The Metabo HPT 12-Inch Sliding Compound Miter Saw (C12RSH2S) delivers pro-grade precision with a powerful 15 Amp brushless motor and an ultra-accurate laser marker system. Its compact sliding design saves workspace without sacrificing cutting capacity, handling up to 7.5" crown molding vertically. Double bevel and wide miter angle ranges offer unmatched versatility, while positive stops ensure quick, repeatable settings. Trusted by pros and backed by a 5-year warranty, this saw is engineered for millennial managers who demand efficiency, accuracy, and reliability in their craft.

## Description

The 12 Inch Sliding Dual Compound Miter Saw (C12RSH2S) is the top-of-the-line ideal for trim carpenters, framers, and woodworkers who demand precision and reliability. It is equipped with a compact slide system that requires zero clearance. The fixed rail system allows the saw head to smoothly glide along the fixed rails, eliminating the rear clearance that other sliding miter saws require. The compact slide system decreases the footprint of the saw by up to a foot, saving valuable real estate in any shop environment. The saw also features tall sliding fences that allow for cutting much larger material, while easily sliding out of the way when making bevel cuts. The easily adjustable tool-less laser marker allows even the most novice user to make perfect accurate cuts.

Review: LOVE IT and It Came With a Metabo Carbide Blade too - Being an old guy that wants to keep busy (a career master machinist) I did not need it to last forever but I needed PRECISION. I read the reviews of this machine and was taken back by stories of innacuracy, like the guy who said the angle adjustment was all off, and the Laser was off. I can tell you this- in my opinion it was the operator who was off and blamed the tool. Here's what I found during a complete and thorough check of the accuracy: This baby is SPOT ON in terms of its angular settings and the accuracy of the laser! I checked the angle using a precision ground sine-bar and a dial indicator. My cut across a 2X6 at 45 degree angle was off by .002"!! That's 2 thousandths of an inch... in wood??? you could not tell if it were ZERO, it was for all intents PERFCECT. And for the Laser: once again I used a 2x6 test piece. I made a tiny knife cut to mark the wood at exactly 12 inches as measured by my Starret Precision machinist scale. A knife cut mark is way more accurate than a pencil. I lined it up using the laser which is also an extremely thin line. I took a shallow cut across the board, let the blade stop an saw that the laser line was exactly in the center of the blade cut which is only 1/16" kerf (width). Then I measured the board after cutting it through, using my Starrett $1600.00 vernier caliper. It measured 11.970" or .030" shorter than my mark which is exactly half the blade thickness!!! Show me the setup that cuts a piece of wood to closer SPEC and it will cost you at least 5 times the Metabo. OH and the reason you want to have the laser in the middle is because you can cut boards on either side of the blade and allow for the same kerf width on each side. This saw is a KEEPER and a great price performer! Also; the reason I gave the safety features only 4 stars is because of the tiny button you have to push in before you trigger the start. It's ill placed for big ole hands. I put a tiny screw in it holding it down to keep from messing with it.
Review: Overall good saw - My first miter saw. Pluses: * Front placement of the sliding arm design is good for storing without wasting space. * Handle design makes it easy for left or right handed person. * Dust collector bag does good job of collecting about 60% of dust. With shop vac (additional suction) I would see most dust captured. Haven't tested personally with attached vaccume yet. * Powerful motor for cutting any material. * No assembly required. Ready to use out of the box. * 5yr warranty. Although not used it yet. I have owned other Hitachi tools for over 10 yrs, just never had need to utilize it yet. Negative: * Like many other mentioned blade isn't perfect squared out of the box. You may have to tinker with it. Once I figured out what to adjust it was in the acceptable range. Keep in mind it's my first saw and not a professional carpenter. * Even after squaring blade when you slide to further pont for cut it's still little off by about less than 1/16". I think that due to sliding arm not 100% straight. Not sure if that normal for sliding miter saw or not. * Laser isn't perfect aligned with blade, especially when you slide blade all the way out. I didn't tinker with it too much. Other thoughts: * Never used the blade it came with. I ended up replacing blade with DeWalt 80T which works great for moldings. I'm sure if I had gone with 100T it would be even cleaner cuts but 80T did the job. I recommend going with 80T or higher instead of stock 60T blade.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone know the difference between the c12rsh2s and the c12rsh2m (seen in big box store)? can't find info on either on metabo site**
A: Ok, both the above answers are wrong. Call the Metabo HPT yourself- customer service - and answer I got was that this version here on Amazon-  C12RSH2S - IS the latest/greatest version of this 12" slider  saw. It's heavier and has all the updates per cust svc. Those other versions ending in a 'M' and other letters are older versions. Doesnt make them bad at all, but if you want the most recent model, get this one ending in 'S'. I was confused with all the product codes myself earlier. And to top it off the dewalt 779 seems to have intermediant issues as well. Other then the much more expensive dewalt 780 model, this Metablo version is one you want.

**Q: Can this saw cut a 3/4in by 16 inch board with one cross cut?**
A: 3/4” yes.  16” no.  12” is the max.

**Q: Can you set the blade height to make dado cuts?**
A: Yes

**Q: Is there a brake to stop the blade quickly on trigger release?**
A: Yes, however, I will add that this saw is a little under powered for our use. Under lighter use, such as trim work in a new construction house, it should work well.

This has been a great saw for what I use it for which is craft work. I makes fine cutting and angles easy. Easy to use and understand works great all around for framing work also.
