Deal Details
This is a clearance item at a Lowe's I was in today in the Dallas Metroplex. Brand new and still sealed. Lowe's.com shows it at $369 for Father's Day, but I picked mine up in clearance for almost another $100 off. It's a great saw and replaces my dewalt miter saw which was not a slider and didn't have the laser.

Ridgid AC9946. It's currently $179, but it has been on sale for $70-99 at DTO/HD many times in the past. If you can wait I'm sure it will hit that price again within the next few months.
Thank you!

I looked and looked but could not find one near me at the $269 price. Have an upcoming project so ending up biting the bullet and ordered it on Amazon yesterday. The model numbers are slightly different (C12RSH2S on Amazon and C12RSH2M at Lowes). I used a $10 credit (gift card deal) and employee discount (10%) to get it to $323. It also qualified me for the $70 credit for spending $600 (bought other things yesterday). Still not as good of a deal as Lowes - but that wasn't an option for me.

All three of the Lowe's I checked had the current C12RSH2S model rather than the older C12RSH2M models shown on the web site and the shelf tags.

I have had a compound miter saw for close to 20 years, and have used the laser on it once and the compound miter part 0 times.

I'll go with 8 1/4" sliding before I go with 12" compounding. If you are a pro contractor, you know 12" compound is big waste of money.
Why is that? totally new to all this

Great price for a very entry level saw. There is a lot of play in the miter locks and deflection in the sliding rails.. If your looking for a general purpose saw this will do, but for precision work, I highly recommend passing on this particular saw
Im looking for home diy projects. What sort of stuff would you think this is not good for?
thanks

Good question! I'm not really sure. Comparing the C12RSH2 (the Hitachi-branded predecessor to the Metabo-branded C12RSH2M) and the C12RSH2S on the Metabo web site shows near-identical specs. The only difference I could see is a weight of 77 pounds for the C12RSH2 and 79 pounds for the C12RSH2S.

The description for the C12RSH2S also says that it is "compliant with new UL regulations". The manual I received with my new saw indicates it applies to both the C12RSH2 and the C12RSH2S.

After being on the fence with this at $269 and having nearby stores sell out, I finally bit the bullet Wednesday and found a store 30 miles away with limited availability. Confirmed stock on the phone and decided to try to make it a real slick deal and see if I could use the twenty per cent off with a new Lowes credit card. Card rules didn't seem to exclude discount for closeouts. Instant approval with bar codes for account number and discount. Rang up at register but discount didn't apply with no explanation on the terminal so clerk called manager who approved twenty per cent override on the phone. Bingo --- $215.50.

We are studying the use of these compounds for the meter. Does it also adjust the controllers?

Nearest to me on clearance was over an hour away. Had to head out that direction anyways today so I waited the few days and stopped by while I was over there. They had it there advertised for the clearance price of $269. Last boxed one I could see but they did have two more out on display so I wonder if those are counted by brickseek (Brickset said 3 in stock, 2 now).

I don't need it at the moment, but I've been doing a basement remodel and there's been multiple times already the double compound would have been handy. We've been using a single compound miter saw I borrowed from family but it maxed out at just under 10". This will be a lifesaver for some of the rest of the work I have planned.

He is making a very generalized statement that doesn't apply to all pro contractors. Manufacturers make different sized saws for different segments of the market. If you are a trim carpenter who doesn't install a lot of crown moldings, then 7-1/2 or 8-/12 saw is probably all you need. They are much lighter and easier to transport from job site to job site. But lots of trim carpenters install tall base boards and and crown moldings. They prefer the 12" saw with tall fence. There is a reason Dewalt 779/780 is the preferred saw for many pros. They can cut 5"+ baseboards and crown moldings standing up against the fence. A lot of pros prefer cutting baseboards standing up against the fence instead of flat on the base.

Enough about the pros. If you are in the market for a miter saw, define your use cases first. I bought my first miter saw 20 years ago to install base boards crown moldings and hardwood floor. A 10" single bevel miter saw was good enough. But, I was limited to small crown molding due to the limited size of the saw. Then I needed to cut wider boards, I upgraded to a 10" sliding compound miter saw. Have to admit, I never used the compound miter feature. I just need to cut wider boards. Recently, I upgraded to a 12" slider because I got a good deal and I found myself needing to cut boards up to 14". As you move up in size, you pay more. If a 10" fixed saw will do 90% of your jobs, there is no need to pay more for a 12" slider. The takeaway is buy the saw you need. Save your money and borrow your neighbor's 12" slider for the once in a life time compound miter-bevel cut.

I disagree with the statement you quoted. There is nothing this saw is not good for. The down side of this saw is that it is overkill for home DIY projects. Its size and weigh is also a consideration. My first 10" fixed miter saw 20 years ago was about 25 lbs. I could pick it up one handed and stow it away in a garage shelf. Not with this beast. It is huge and weighs about 70lb. People with workshop usually build a miter station around a saw like this. People without a workshop, like me, mount this saw on a stand with wheels to move it around. If you have the room for this saw, it is a great saw for any project you can throw at it.

Only if you order online. I recently learned that many items will only take the military discount when ordered online. I recently got the woodworking bundle for $299 which is the newer lower price. I had it online was going to pick it up and it had my %10 military discount online. I had a return so I wanted to do them together. Good thing I noticed because it wasn't giving me the military discount in store. They couldn't apply it or another coupon, supervisor had to approve a price adjustment to listed price. Gave me a hard time too even though I showed them my online cart. They took so long doing this she acted like it's my fault and just said okay we'll mark it down this time but next time just buy it online. lol
Yes, I get that a lot from the cashier manager that will often refuse to call a store manager.... even though they claim they cannot override, which is also BS. ANY department manager can write down 10% for any product in the store.

Little known is the feedback program that determines bonuses and overall store ratings.... use them and maybe let the managers know you use them.
-----------------
Metabo, made in China, I will just buy the laser slider from Harbor Freight [harborfreight.com] when on sale (now $148) as we have done in the past for job specific throwaway saws that just keep on running after being abused. The laser is worthless compared to shadow cut and even more worthless out in the sun.
