Does this 10 inch slider prevent me from cutting certain sized wood?



It allows you to cut wider boards, but at a cost in accuracy.

If you are building furniture or need really critical sizes, the slider has
some built in lay that is not present in a standard saw. It is also an
extra operation to slide it out for every cut.

If you go to the DeWalt web page, they show the sizes that each saw can cut.
