How wide a board will this saw cut at 90 degrees? At 45 degrees?
748546
I have cut up to 12 inch boards at 90 degrees, have not cut a ton of stuff at 45.

I only work in foam board. Official website says it works with 3/16" foam board. When I extend the blade all the way I can get through 3/8" of foam board on a 45*.

Width of blade is 13 inches. You could not make a 45 degree angle cut on 12mm thick by 12 wide flooring. It would likely do it on a 9 in wide board but its just not wide enough for the 12in. stock the diagonal is just too long.Burl Taylor

The maximum length of a cut is 2.75 inches. When fully open, they are not quite 90 degrees.

The biggest difference is the bevel of the saw will go to 55° Instead of just 45'. It has a little smaller skid plate because the corner is mitered off.

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'm sorry I can't answer your question, for at this time I've only used my saw for cutting 10" wide boards.

Don't remember it coming with an edge guide. I haven't used it to make a clean 90 degree cut but if you're not coming from two outside edges I'd suspect it might be difficult. I would imagine you could make the 90 cut IF you cut the corner out to make the turn. It isn't a scroll saw but it is an excellent tool.

It will look best if you cut the seem at the bend in the L at a 45 degree angle.

In a 90 degree cut, it will accommodate 1 and 5/8" width with 13/16" thickness. Much less with a miter cut. The safety guard limits the thickness considerably. It is a very nice tool, however, within these limitations.

Yes it is. You want to be careful to adjust it correctly so that you maintain a 90 degree cutting angle. It may take a little practice, but it is doable.

The product literature that came with the saw indicates that it can cut round tube up to 4 1/2" diameter at 90 degrees or 3 1/2" at 45 degrees.

I have other brands and sizes of miter saws that I use for general carpentry work. I purchased this Bosch 8.5 in. saw because in my opinion it is the Cadillac of miter saws. It has a range of cutting 12 in. wide boards at 90 degrees and 8 in. boards at 45 degrees. Very reasonably priced for what it will do. Has carrying handle and is very portable. I don't think you can go wrong with this saw. I have been very pleased with it.

Cutting capacity @90 degrees is 12" x 3 15/32" (305 x 88 mm). I have a table saw that is inactive because the KS120 is handier and more accurate for thin stock, and the Kapex TS55 track saw system is dandy for sheet stock. If your radial arm saw is like my old 12" Craftsman, it has more capacity than the KS120 in all dimensions, but the KS120 is more accurate, portable, and takes up much less floor space. I should mention that I've found the Kapex MFT/3 Mini table very useful and very portable (if you don't have a convenient workbench).Also, I might mention that the Festool blades are very expensive (approx $140) so I typically use 3rd party blades for routine work. I am very satisfied with the Oshlun 260mm/60 ($45). Cutting capacity @90 degrees is 12" x 3 15/32" (305 x 88 mm).

Ask the manufacturer about the depth of cut. The unit I bought was .500" max on a 90 degree cut. I used the machine for production cuts of Delrin tubing - very accurate and repeatable. VERY good machine. They have a machine that will take your cut. For the buck, believe you should try it.

45 degree cuts, we used this inside and outside our shower. Mitered the edges just like std trim.

I only use the insert for 90 degree thin kerf cuts. If you were to cut the initial slot for 45 degrees you would only be able to use the insert for that degree of cut. I,m not sure if the insert is made to be used for that purpose.
