What About Miter Saws?

I use the 12", - - it's a bear to carry, - - but a pleasure to use.

Here's some comparison specs on the 10" Bosch and Makita . . .

The maximum cutting width of the Bosch at 0 degrees is 12 1/8", at 45 degrees is 8 3/4". Depth of cut is 3 7/8' at 0.

The maximum cutting width of the Makita at 0 degrees is 12", and at 45 degrees is 8 1/2". Depth of cut is 3 5/8" at 0.

Bosch also wins (slightly) in the bevel range, - - and considerably in the miter range.

To increase the cutting width (or what I call 'length of stride') of either, - - refer to this post from a while back . . .
