What size wood can a 10-inch sliding miter saw cut?
Typically, a 10-inch miter saw will cut a 2 x 6 at 90 degrees and a 2 x 4 at 45 degrees; a 12-inch miter saw will cut a 2 x 8 at 90 degrees and a 2 x 6 at 45 degrees. Saws also differ by whether the blade arm simply rotates (a basic miter saw) or both swings and slides (a sliding miter saw).
How thick can a 7 1 4 miter saw cut?
Most circular saws sport a 7 ¼” blade which has a cutting depth of up to just over 2 ½” at 90 degrees and usually less when cutting bezels. The smaller 6 ½” blade cuts to a max depth of 2 1/8″. This means that the two most common blades are not large enough to go through a 4×4 in a single pass.
What is a good size for a miter saw?
Unless you are cutting very large baseboards, I would recommend sticking with a 10 or 12-inch miter saw. A 10-inch miter saw can very easily and very accurately cut 6-inch baseboards. However, if you already have a 12-inch miter saw, that is perfectly fine for cutting baseboards.
Does Black and Decker make a miter saw?
BLACK+DECKER Black + Decker Miter saw 7-1/4-in 9-Amp Single Bevel Compound Corded Miter Saw.
Can a 12-inch miter saw cut a 4×6?
While a 10″ miter saw will struggle with anything larger than a 4×4, a 12″ cuts quickly and easily through a 4×6 in only one pass. This increased power combined with slightly slower rotating blades also makes 12″ miter saws better at tackling hardwood and other hard-to-cut materials.
Will a 7 1 4 miter saw cut a 2×4?
It’s not just a 4×4 you can’t cut; you can’t even cut a 2×4 (unless the saw has rails the blade pulls on). Now, a sliding 7-1/4″ might be interesting, since blade flex in a cut is a factor of blade size.
Can a 12 inch miter saw cut a 4×6?
