I may be needing a power miter saw, so doing homework. For
straight cuts, 1/2" to 3/4" thick material, max of 8" wide, so don't
need fancy. I could use my saw sled, but a miter saw'd be faster, and
handier - I'd be cutting a lot of 'em.
Checked the Delta site, and they claim their non-slider, compound
miter saw, 10" blade, will make a 11 1/2" cut.

Just below that, claims the same.

I haven't gotten back with Delta, to ask them. Haven't decided
yet, don't know if I could trust their answer.
I can see a 10" miter saw cutting "close" to a 10" cut, but not
more than that, unless it was a slider. I can also see you'd probably
have to have a spacer under the piece you were cutting, before you would
get to the max width cut. Maybe around 8.5" - 9"? But, wider than the
blade? I don't see it.
I've been checking various sites, and geting varying answers, even
for the same make and model. One, that sounds more realistic, gave a
max width cut of 6 1/8" for a 8 1/4" blade - using a spacer under the
material being cut. When I get the chance, and remember to take my tape
measure, I'll be hitting a few stores, and see what I can find out on my
own.
In the meantime, can anyone, that actually "owns" a 10" non-slider
miter saw, tell me what the max width cut on their's is? Any make. Or
12", any make.
May just wind up making another saw sled, at this rate.

A 10" blade on a non-slider, makes an 11 1/2" cut...
Huh.
We really do have to stop shipping Canadian pharmaceuticals south of
the border... Both kinds...
A 10" non-slider makes about a 6" cut. If you use a spacer to elevate slightly
above the table, you can get about 6-1/2".
Yes, I just measured one.

My Delta non-slider almost makes it through a 2 x 6. Leaves about a 1/4"
of material on the lower, outside edge.

You're right, this doesn't pass the sniff test. I pawed around on
Delta's site and I think you may have grabbed the stats for the Model
36-240, which is, indeed, a slider. Their 36-585 10" non-slider claims
only a 5 5/8" crosscut. As a comparison, DeWally's 10" non-slider claims 6".

Don't recall the model I looked at, but took care to pass up any
that said slider. Which is why it seemed so strange.
Wonder what they would cut using a sacrificial riser block. I'd
hade to have to go to a 12" - if that's the case, I think I'd pass, and
just make a dedicaed saw sled.
