A sliding miter will allow for wider cuts than a non-slider,
everything else being equal. That said, the ad says the capacity is 5
3/8", so if that's true, it just means that without the slide, it
would be even less.

I'd call and find out if that stat is accurate 'cuz my 10" non-slide
Delta, with the adjustable fence, will do 5 1/8", so an extra 1/4" for
a slider sound minimal.

However, as I pointed out in another post, you can easily gain a
little more depth of cut by simply lifting the front edge of the board
slightly so that the spinning blade completes the cut.
