FWIW, my Hitachi 8½" SCMS will cut 12". Of course, the diameter also
limits the height capacity. Hitachi has a new 10" that you might want
to consider. Plus they were making sliders before Bosch or Makita
IIRC.

Am looking at either Bosch or Makita 10 or 12" SCMS to finish the trim
and flooring in a house I am building. Is there any disadvantage to
using a 12" versus a 10" other than cost and a bit more weight.

Am installing some fairly wide cove molding - thought the 12" might
come in handy.
