Metabo HPT C12FDHS 12″ Dual Compound Miter Saw with Laser Marker

The Metabo HPT C12FDHSM 12″ Dual Compound Miter Saw with Laser Marker is built for carpenters, trim crews, and renovation contractors who need accurate, repeatable cuts in framing lumber, finish materials, and aluminum sashes. Its dual bevel design lets the saw head tilt 0–48° to both the right and left, so material stays flat against the tall fence while you dial in compound cuts. A 0–52° miter range to the right and left covers common framing and trim angles, while thumb-actuated positive stops make adjustments quick and consistent on the jobsite.

Powered by a 15 amp motor with 1,950 W of output, this 12 inch miter saw handles hardwoods, plywood, crown molding, soft fiberboard, and decorative panels with smooth, controlled cuts. The exclusive laser marker system shows where the blade will contact the workpiece before you cut, helping reduce rework and test cuts. A tall, pivoting aluminum fence stands 5-1/8″ high, so you can cut crown molding vertically instead of laying it flat and dealing with complex settings. With a micro-bevel adjustment knob, electric brake, spindle lock, and included 12″ TCT blade, the C12FDHSM arrives ready for serious production and finish work.
