Yes, a lot wider. *Mine will miter 45" on a 2x6. *I think it goes

Jesus! *45"! *That is more than my Radial Arm saw will do! *My

Aha! Now I see that I said " when it should have been degrees. As an
aside, if I were buying a miter saw, I wouldn't look at any that
aren't at least a 'sliding' one and it should also be 'compound'.
Mine is. Quite a tool for the cheap price.
