WIDE cut sliding miter saws?

I'm curious if anyone makes a sliding miter saw that can crosscut a panel
up to 24" wide? Sort of a miniature panel saw?

All of the sliding miter saws I have seen have been limited to 12" cuts
regardless of whether they use 8", 10", or 12" blades?

Look for radial arm saws.

The first slide saws were made by Delta,they crosscut up to 24" if I
recall. They were called Delta Saw Buck. I haven't seen a new one in
years, probably stopped making them.They worked pretty well, I had to
check often for squareness to the fence. They were a bit touchy to set
up and keep accurate. The saw I used was used for everything, sort of
abused. I imagine if one was used for trim work only, you would get
better results.
