Good job for what? Cutting small parts? Sure. Resawing 12" boards? No.

I beleive that 12" refers to the wheel size not the cutting height. This is
a pretty low-end saw. It will likely be adequate for cutting curves through
the thin dimension of a board, but this is not the class of machine suited
for resawing.
