The fence of this saw is approximately 1.75 inches. However a maximum height of 4 inches can be cut using the same fence height with the use of clamps. In other words, the blade still be within the angle guides for cutting a maximum height of 4 inches. The maximum width it can cut is approximately 4 inches, nothing more. I have had use it cut a 4x4 (dress) 2x4 (dress) and it worked fine. I just use it for small projects to cut a couple pieces nothing major.

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.

As others have stated, a 4x6 could be cut at 90 degrees. If you want to cut at an angle though, a 4x4 would be your max. capacity. Also, it does take a while to cut through something that large.

I used saw for crown molding, it is great for this job, highly recommend sow.

This is a timber saw which is designed to only cut wood. I would think it would be very unsafe to cut anything other than what it was designed for. You should read the safty manual and or contact Makita directly.

We used a Husqvarna (farm hand) chainsaw with a 24" bar. We did not have a lot of lumber to cut. That would be the smallest size chain saw that works for small jobs. I suspect 'small' saw would perform better with a rip chain. I was a fun project.

I have never used this to cut wood, just metal with the blade it comes with. I have another Milwaukee cordless saw for wood, the much bigger one. HH.

I use the saw to primarily cut glass. I have made crosscuts up to 24" ....as far as the width, I have cut 48" pieces of glass with no problem. I have used it to cut 12x12 and up to 18x18 tiles....hope this helps.

The cutting surface is a little bigger than 10" x 10". I've never had a problem with it not being big enough. Hoe this helps!

I think it will only cut 10", but if you are really good with the saw, you can turn the board over and cut the 2" piece that's left on the board. I've never tried it, but maybe someone else has.

I am not sure, I have not yet had to do this... I will say the longer pieces I've had yo cut because it is a more compact saw with less surface area, you will need table saws or a person to help hold it up.

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.

i hardly think this is the saw you want to use as the max log diameter would be less than about 5 1/2 " and even that would be quite a load on the motor.

you can make any lumber dimension you can physically get from the log by moving the guide board. I would recommend shaving an 1/8th inch off the guide board and securing it to small pieces at the end of the log you are cutting.

Mitchell, I am not sure of the maximum width this saw will cut. I know that we were cutting 6" x 4" angle in it with the corner of the angle in the vertical position. The rear "vise" section of the saw is adjustable forward and backwards to allow for larger pieces of steel. I can check it tomorrow and get back to you. I do know that this is one kick*** saw and am very pleased with it. I use another saw in my shop that I cut wider plate so this is why I am not sure about the maximum width. I will get back to you.

I am a homeowner cutting tree branches as needed. The thickest diameter is about 3". Unlike electric saw, I have to cut this thick branch on both sides for my easy handling. "Easy" means without stress and force. However, I have not experienced the limit or max. capacity of this tool. To me, it serves practically and neatly. Purchase recommended.

well the 180 stihl is a bit small i use a 73cc husquavarna it cutts well but i dont want to get into production speed because its not realy for cutting a lot of board feet more for personal wood working but i also have a granberg mini mill for beams and i just use a husky 55 rancher 54cc equivalent to a stilh farm boss and with a RIPPING chain works fine a 32cc saw i dont think you are going to have the tork to power through but you want to let the saw do the work so your cuts are nice and true ripping chain wise i am not sure they have one in a .325 size chain but dont quote me grandbergs web site could tell you they sell ripping chain if you do get the 777 its very simple to assemble keep all the nuts loose till you get it all squared up and lock them all down tite. one more thing when cutting soft woods cedar and pine cutting speeds are much faster in like 3 hrs i cut 12-14 2ftwide by 9 long cedar logs into 1.25in thick boards just keep your teeth sharp and no problem

Really don't know without measuring it but estimate it is at least 6 ft long, plenty long for most applications. Its a good saw.
