I'm considering buying Hitachi's 8.5" SCM saw... most who have one seem
to be happy with it. Literature seems to claim that a 1x12 lying flat
and cut at 0 degrees (or 90, depending on your point of view) can be
done without flipping the board over ... can anyone verify that?
One of the jobs I have in mind is a good bit of basic shelf building
using alot of 1x12's and smaller stuff.
I'll probably buy one anyway, but I'd like to know what to expect.

Given that it's a slider, the width of cut can be totally independent of
blade size.
However, a 10" would be able to cut thicker material (about 3/4"
thicker, or half the difference in blade diameter).

Umm If it says that it will cut a 1x12 I strongly suspect that it will. I
wonder if it really has a 8.5" blade.
Basically, if it will not cut a 1x12, take it back.

Hell, two minutes in a store with a tape measure will confirm what it will
cut. Considering what sliding miters cost, I'd sure be examining one in
person if I had any doubts at all.

Keep in mind that the one you are looking at is probably spec'ed out to what
is indicated on the box. With that however a 10 year old saw has probably
changed design some what and may or may not have the same spec.
My BIL has a Hitachi SCMS with an 8.something blade. I assume it's the same
saw. If the spec says it will cut a 1x12, then I see no reason to believe
otherwise.
It is a very sweet tool.

Why? Is there some rule about how long the rail has to be on one of these?
