I have a few of various sizes. The one in the photo I use the most and
will cut a 13" wide panel, so it is about 13 1/4" deep.

I chose that dimension specifically because it is comfortable to use,
not unwieldy, works well with the width of the front edge of the table
saw table to the blade, can be stored under the front rail of table
saw, and allows me to cut, among less wide parts, wall cabinet end
panels, which are generally a standard 11 1/2" (FF) to 12"
(Frameless) wide.
I do have much bigger ones, for larger panel crosscuts, miter cuts,
and dado cuts, but that one is used almost exclusively for all shop
crosscuts that will fit in it.


Thank you! That is a perfect answer. I know I'll grow my arsenal, but I
was looking for that one starting point. Very helpful - thanks again.
