Specifically, it's a sliding compound crosscut 12" miter and it has a ton of board feet cuts on it. (Bad sentence, but you get my drift.) I previously had a 10" Makita "chop saw" (an "over the top model") which could only cut 3x6s w/o flipping the wood over to finish the cut. I would definitely recommend the sliding models: I frequently cut 2x10 and 2x12s on mine.

The depth is limited by the distance from the table surface to the blade washer (or whatever blade guard is mounted) and allowing for the blade's depth below the table surface. Thus, a 12" blade will allow you to cut thru a 5" thick (+/-) board, assuming it has the power and the density of the wood, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif";color:black'>Due to space constraints, I just shipped my ol' Craftsman RAS to a buddy and miss it already!
