Most 10 inch models will cut 12 inch width at 90 degrees, 8 inches at 45.
12 inch models don't generally give much more but do give a bit more depth.
My old 10 inch will cut through a 4 by 12, I have never had such a piece of
timber but I have cut through 3 2 by 10s in a single pass several times.
Sliding saws do cost quite a bit more though.

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?
