Default 8.5" Hitachi sliding miter saw: can it really cut a 1" by 12"?

Super. Thanks. I just found it hard to believe when most of the 10"
ones out there only claim about the same max.


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).
