A standard miter can cut the width of the blade or part of that width as some
goes beyond the fence.
A sliding compound can get close to 16 inches in some cases. I have a 12 inch
model and I'm between 15 and 16 inches in cross cut width.

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Power Miter Saw
My understanding is there are a couple of different type
power miter saws? I am borrowing my son-in-law's standard 10
inch one and love it. He tells me there is a type with a
sliding arm as well to accomplish the ability to cut a wider
board. Any idea how much wider?
