TOOL NEEDS
Get a Miter Saw, Build Your Own Bookshelves
The Hitachi C10FCE2 15-Amp 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw has flexible miter angles and compound cutting capability for trim carpenters, framers, and woodworkers who demand precision, reliability and versatility on the job. The 15-amp motor generates a no-load speed of up to 5,000-RPM for making crosscuts and miters with ease, even on the toughest cutting jobs. For ease of use, a comfortable horizontal handle with a vibration-reducing elastomer grip keeps you in control at all times, a large table provides a stable guide and sturdy support and a built-in clamping system holds your workpiece in place. The thumb-actuated positive miter stops allow for simple miter adjustments between 0 and 52-degrees left and right. This design allows you to easily change the angle of the cutting blade for creating miters in crown molding and other trim pieces. The bevel has a range of 45-degrees to the left to provide gorgeous bevels on the first try. The large extended flip fence raises to 4-inches to allow for accurate cutting of large workpieces up to 2-5/16-inches high and 5-21/32-inches deep. A dust collector minimizes the accumulation of dust and particles and the easily accessible carbon brushes will help your saw perform for the long term. This tool provides smooth, accurate miters and crosscuts with wood, plywood, decorative panels, soft fiberboard, hard board, and aluminum sashes. Weighing just 26.3-pounds, the C10FCE2 is the lightest 10-inch compound miter saw in its class. This tool is compatible with the UU610 miter saw stand (sold separately) and includes a 10-inch 24-tooth TCT saw blade, pivoting flip fence, vice assembly, dust bag, 10mm box wrench and a material support extension. The Hitachi C10FCE2 15-Amp 10-Inch Compound Miter Saw comes with a 5-year warranty. Hitachi Power Tools (Hitachi Koki USA, Ltd.) provides professional-grade power tools and pioneered innovative technologies that have improved the quality of craftsmanship worldwide.
GAMING NEEDS
Pick up a 12 month membership to EA Access for $30. Your dad doesn’t typically play video games, but you can convert him with the 1-2 punch of Rory McIllroy PGA Tour and UFC. If your dad was born outside of America, there’s FIFA. Soccer is a child’s game, but maybe your dad is into soccer. There’s Madden for people with non Communist fathers.
LIQUOR NEEDS
Don’t try to guess old man alcohol tastes. You’re not going to win and they’re going to hate it. If your dad has a Costco membership, just get them a prepaid VISA giftcard and point them to the Spirit Shoppe. Cheapest Vodka in your metro area. If your dad is a hippie, send his ass to Trader Joe’s with some giftcard. Those guys have the cheapest and tastiest Sangria known to Suburbanite Older Man.
FOOD NEEDS
This is going to be for the locals, but I recommend hitting up Joella’s Hot Chicken tomorrow. Free meal for all dads, but someone else has to buy a meal. It’s your day, guys. Let that be the mother’s trouble.

CONCLUSION
It’s another year and another 24 hours before Holiday disappointment. I’d like to thank those who submitted suggestions. I’d also like to thank Magnolia and PBS for helping out with the recommendations. Until the next Holiday with present purchase demands!
