TABLE SAW TERMS

MITER GAUGE – A guide used for crosscutting operations that slides in the tabletop channels located on either side of the blade. It helps make accurate straight or angle cuts.

RIP FENCE – A guide used for rip cutting that clamps to the tabletop. It allows the workpiece to be straight.

TABLE INSERT – Provides access to the blade arbor

for changing blades.

OVERLOAD RESET SWITCH – Resets the thermocouple and provides a way to restart the saw motor if it overheats or overloads.

BLADE BEVEL SCALE – Measures the angle the blade is tilted when set for a bevel cut.

TABLE SCALE – Measures the distance the rip fence is set from the blade, allowing quick setups.

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS – Prevents the workpiece from being kicked upward or back toward the front of the table saw by the spinning blade.

SPLITTER – Keeps the workpiece spread apart after being cut, to prevent binding on the blade and workpiece.

BLADE ELEVATION HANDWHEEL – Raises and

lowers the blade.

BLADE TILTING HANDWHEEL – Tilts the blade to any angle between 0° to 45° for bevel cuts.

WOODWORKING TERMS

ARBOR – The shaft on which a blade is mounted.

BEVEL CUT – An angle cut made through the face of

the workpiece.

COMPOUND CUT – A simultaneous bevel and miter

cut.

CROSSCUT – A cut made across the width of the

workpiece.

FREEHAND – Performing a cut without using a fence (guide), hold down or other proper device to prevent the workpiece from twisting during the cutting operation.

GUM – A sticky sap from wood products.

HEEL – Misalignment of the blade.

KERF – The amount of material removed by a blade

cut.

MITER CUT – An angle cut made across the width of

the workpiece.

RESIN – A sticky sap that has hardened.

REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE (RPM) – The number of turns completed by a spinning object in one minute.

SAW BLADE PATH – The area of the workpiece or table top directly in line with the travel of the blade or the part of the workpiece that will be cut.

SET – The distance between two saw blade tips, bent outward in opposite directions to each other. The further apart the tips are, the greater the set.

WORKPIECE – The item being cut. The surfaces of a workpiece are commonly referred to as faces, ends and edges.

C 10LA specifications

The Hitachi C 10LA is a powerful and versatile miter saw that stands out in the realm of woodworking and construction tools. Known for its precision, efficiency, and durability, this saw is designed to meet the needs of both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts.

One of the main features of the Hitachi C 10LA is its robust 15-amp motor, which delivers a remarkable no-load speed of up to 5,000 RPM. This high-speed capability allows users to make clean and accurate cuts through various materials, including hardwood, softwood, and even composite materials. The saw’s large cutting capacity provides a maximum miter cut of 52 degrees to the right and 45 degrees to the left, along with a maximum bevel cut of 45 degrees. This range of motion makes it ideal for creating precise angled cuts, commonly required for crown molding and other intricate woodworking projects.

The C 10LA also features a unique laser marker system that enhances cutting accuracy. This technology projects a laser line onto the workpiece, indicating exactly where the blade will cut, thereby eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of errors. Additionally, the saw is equipped with a large, sturdy base, providing stability during use and reducing vibration for smoother operation.

Safety is a significant consideration in the design of the Hitachi C 10LA. It includes an electric brake that halts the blade almost instantly after the trigger is released, ensuring that users can operate the saw with confidence. Its dust collector attachment helps maintain a clean work environment by capturing sawdust and debris, which not only improves visibility but also promotes a safer workspace.

The C 10LA’s lightweight design, weighing approximately 26.3 lbs, coupled with a comfortable handle, makes it easy to transport and maneuver, whether in a workshop or on a job site. The saw is also designed for easy blade changes and maintenance, further enhancing its usability and convenience.

In summary, the Hitachi C 10LA miter saw combines powerful performance with advanced features, making it a reliable choice for tradespeople and hobbyists alike. With its high-speed motor, accurate laser guide, impressive cutting capacity, and safety features, it is well-equipped to handle a wide variety of cutting tasks with precision and ease.
