What's the largest width this saw can cut? It's says 3-7/8" x 6" but what if it's thinner? Say a 2x8 or 1x10?

PDF of the manual states that 2x8's at 90 degree miter and 2x6's at 45% miter can be cut; this holds for the 45 degree bevel on both cuts.

I wouldn't recommend it. Though it may fit and function, the rather large diameter of the 'wheel' would cut down on the space available for cutting. Using it on an 8.5" saw, I doubt there would be enough blade left to cross-cut a 4x4 in a single pass. Though if you've never cut stock that large, then perhaps it won't matter.

Width of 6 inches can be cut, but no wider. And I wouldn't go thicker than 2 inches, too much effort. Time for power tools.

U definitely can. U may need to custom make a table insert to accommodate the blade width (or buy an insert) but it will definitely fit any 10' saw. Only difference between the 8" & 10" is the depth of cut but very uncommon to need a dado cut deeper than what an 8" cuts.

It will cut 12x12 paper - the cutting area measures about 12 1/4" - so you have a little wiggle room. It doesn't go down to 1/8 in increments - 1/4 in only. But it does have metric measurements listed.

It's bigger than that--probably more like 6 inches across with the handles. The cutting mechanism probably is around 3 inches wide or the size of a big apple but I may be wrong since I am going by my visual memory and don't have the thing in front of me.

It's just slightly wider than a standard 3/4" channel but, at least on my saw, not 7/8". I got an Incra adjustable width miter gauge for it that works great. The included gauge is a little loose in the track.

So far we have used the saw to cut 2x4's. It cut like butter at that depth. Not sure about anything larger than that as far as ease of cutting.

Just measuring a 7-1/4" Blade at max Depth it looks like 2-7/16". I haven't tried to cut anything thicker than that and then measure the cut to know more accurately.

It should be 1/2" X4 feet. This is a fantastic belt substitute for the standard V-belt. It is smooth as well as very quiet. I highly recomend it for contractor saws.

Total width is 13 inches. Max cut is 18 15/16ths you can cut any circle you want down to 2 1/4 inches although I wouldn't use it for anything under 6". Just keep in mind that anything larger then a 1/4 bit will throw off the scale. Multiple passes I stead of one cut is always a good idea with thicker materials. On the Dewalt side I would assume yes but worst case I sure it could be adapted or modified to work. Great jig!

I just measured my saw 3 1/2" max thickness. That's from the table to the bottom of the saw guard/motor housing.

It will cut up to 6 1/8" in width. 1" X 6" is not the actual retail dimension of the wood (it is less) unless you cut wood to that size.

I never tried, but the actual size of a 2 x 10 is 9-1/4 wide, the blade won't be high enough on any 10 inch table saw to do what you are trying to do. Even in 2 passes.

This saw is more suited for 1/4 in to 3/8in. It would work but it would suck up battery life and tax the saw. From Dave T

Yes,It's max cut is 6 1/4 inches. However, If you have to cut steel tho, find a blade for a 7 1/4 saw or even better sawzall blade. Infinitely cheaper ,easier and will not put makita at risk. Even if you need to cut at bevel, I would find another way. Not sure if metal blade exists and if it does it's gonna be a fortune.

It would be the distance from the saw blade to the saw bracket above the saw. Estimate six inches. However, that said it could cut this thickness provided the saw blade doesn't break and your arm can push and pull the saw that long.
