Will a 12 inch, non-reciprocating miter saw cut 6 x 6 beams in one
pass ??? I know it would be close, but I would like to hear from someone
who has done it. Again, can it cut in one pass, so as to get a perfectly
smooth cut ?

Thanks !!

I've not heard the term "non-reciprocating." Does that mean it's a
circular saw? If so, unless the hub diameter is 0.000", it isn't going
to cut something half the diameter of the blade.
