I am looking for a new compound mitre saw. I am mostly interested in
finding a saw that make precision joints. I have been looking at the
new Hitachi C12LSH and had a few questions.

1. Will a slider compound saw make as precise a cut as fixed compound
saw?

Typically the slider will not be as accurate. More moving parts usually
equates to more opportunity to error. That said a slider CAN be as accurate
but in general is not. A regular kerf blade would be an improvement.

2. How acurate is the digital display?
Cannot say.


3. Pros & cons of the laser marker?

IMHO it is a Gee-Whiz feature. Absolutely not necessary and probably
typically inaccurate compared to a zero clearance insert to align your mark
with.
