Hi Grant,
I cannot say which has the largest but my Makita 1013 will cut about 12" at
90`. However, I can cut about a 24" piece by plunge cutting the first half
and then flipping the board around and starting the second cut in the kerf
of the first. Cheers, JG

I've got a question about that. With this flipping technique, how exact is
the entire cut? If you're really careful, can you use this method to make
exact 90° cuts for a 24" span? If you were to use a square on this, would it
show any variations?

Thanks

Depends on your tolerance, but you can get it really close. The board has=

to be flat, both sides must be straight and parallel, and the saw has to=20
be precisely aligned. But it can be done to within less than 1/32"=20
without too much headache, and to within 1/64" if you really try.
