Dewalt 20v slider 8"x2" according to the specs although I have reversed a board for a wider cut.

I bought a 10" Craftsman in '82. Been an OK tool for 38+ years.

go up to a 12 inch slide. You'll be able to cut 4x4's with a 12. a 10 won't do it.
I have a cheap HF 10 slide I bought about 15 yrs ago. built a den in my old house. used it to build my cattle corral, and many other projects..
When it stops, I'm going to buy the HF 12 '' slide.. But this saw just keeps going. it won't die

Why would a 10 slider not cut 4x4?

I have to make two cuts to get thru a 4 x 4 with my 10" Craftsman. Has never seemed to be a problem.

it just won't make it through. Likes just a little, at least my 10''slide HF won't. maybe the newer ones will. But I'm going with a 12 slide next

My $600 DeWalt 12" slider was stolen. Went to HD to get another one and saw the Ryobi on sale for $225. After three decks and wood flooring installs on seven houses it is still going strong.

I have owned three -
Makita - thumbs up. Would still have it, but it was a 10", needed a 12"
Hitachi - Gave it to my son. Ok for occasional hobby use, but the guide fence needed to be squared up every now and then. Would not buy another.
Dewalt - current saw, very happy with it.
