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 !!


Late to the party, but just saw this today. What you need is a Beam
Saw

An interesting collection of power tools for working big lumber, but
not cheap

Those won't work for the OP. He has stated in no uncertain terms that
he won't use a chainsaw.

Since those beam cutters are nothing more (said with jest) than
electric chain saws, he won't be using one of those.

He's made up his mind. Don't go confusing him with facts.


Good point, but the portable bandsaw looked pretty sweet....once you get
passed the price tag
