If you lift the front edge of the board slightly, you can easily
complete the cut on a 2 x 6 on a saw that only claims a DOC of 5 3/8".
Make your cut with the board flat, then just tilt the board up enough
so that a few more teeth on the front of the blade complete the cut.

I do it all the time with my Delta 10" non-slider.

******************************

I can see nasty repercussions if not done properly though.

That statement applies to the use of *so* many power tools as well as
*so* many other situations in our daily lives.

BTW...after I posted my method, I was watching one of the multitudes
of "home" shows on TV and so one the supposed experts apply the same
technique.

That may be true, but I'm still not going to advise someone that may have
never used a power saw to turn the board while the blade is spinning at high
rpm.

turn the board

Are you sure we're talking about the same thing? Are you equating my
use of the word "lift" with "turn"?

I would never tell someone to *turn* a board while cutting it, unless
it was a scroll or band saw...

...or if they were cutting a circle on a table saw.

I just did that for my daughter last weekend. Cut her a perfectly
round 17" circle out of 3/4 MDF. I love that technique.

Lifting the front edge of the board while the rear edge stays against
the fence amounts to turning it about its long axis. I think it is
safe enough to do after the saw arm has bottomed out as long as you
hold the saw arm still.

Which is exactly procedure that is used.
