What is a sliding chop saw called?
A miter saw or mitre saw is a saw used to make accurate crosscuts and miters in a workpiece by positioning a mounted blade onto a board. This is known as a sliding compound miter saw.
Can a 12 inch miter saw cut a 2×12?
The sliding action can cut even wider boards. A 12-inch version, for example, will cut a 2 x 16 at 90 degrees and a 2 x 12 at 45 degrees. Either can become a compound saw—the blade arm both swings at an angle and tilts at an angle to the bed of the table to cut both a bevel and miter at once.

How wide of a board can a 12 inch miter saw cut?
about 7 1/2 inches

Whats the difference between a chop saw and a Mitre saw?
Whereas chop saws are rugged and relatively simple tools, mitre saws are designed and manufactured to make precision cuts at many different angles. Although a mitre saw can cut non-ferrous metal when used with the correct blade, they are most often used by joiners, kitchen fitters and cabinet makers to cut wood.
Can a 12 miter saw cut a 4×4?
A 12” miter saw clearly has a bigger blade. This means that it can do longer cuts faster as well as wider cuts. The cutting capacity is so superior that even the cheapest 12” miter saws on the market will still cut through 4x4s faster and cleaner than the best sliding 10” miter saw.
Will a 12 sliding miter saw cut a 6×6?
The geometry that makes it a wide, flat cutter works against it with a taller block. No saw could cut through a 4×4 at a 45-degree bevel angle, nor could any cross-cut a 6×6.
Are sliding miter saws accurate?
Chop-cutting accuracy at 90° was on par with other saws at 1/256 inch in 4 inches and slide accuracy was good at 1/128 inch in 12 inches. While the 90° straight cuts were good, slide miter cuts were only fair. The blade shows some measurable and visible wobble and the head has some deflection.
