What width of board can the saw cut at a 45-degree angle?

I have cut 9+ inch boards at 45 degrees...1x10 or 2x10's. Sometimes the cut might have to be finished manually. I have done 1x12's in two cuts, lining up the laser on the other side.

Yes, the cutting guide has a set screw and is adjustable from square cuts anywhere up to 45 degrees for diagonal cuts. I always check the angle with a combination square or other device.

There are two different set of blades, so you decide if the total width will be 28" or 42".

At 90 degrees, the maximum size for round pipe or stock is 5", for square stock is 4.75", for rectangular stock is 4.5"x5" and for angle iron is 5-3/8". Maximum sizes are small for 45 degree angle cuts.

I have other brands and sizes of miter saws that I use for general carpentry work. I purchased this Bosch 8.5 in. saw because in my opinion itis the Cadillac of miter saws. It has a range of cutting 12 in. wide boards at 90 degrees and 8 in. boards at 45 degrees. Very reasonably pricedfor what it will do. Has carrying handle and is very portable. I don't think you can go wrong with this saw. I have been very pleased with it.

No idea but the Saw and the Blade I got from Makita was awesome. We were cross cutting white pine 6 x 12, 8 x 8, and 6 x 8. Worked great.

Yes, correct! If you want to make a 90° turn, cut 2@ 45°, etc. For a 45° turn, 2@ 22.5°.

4'+to the right a foot or so to the left. Depends on the size you buy and what saw you are putting if on. Throw your saw away and buy a Saw Stop

The blade is 9-1/2" wide. It would cut straight cuts on 9" as long as it no wider. But it would not cut a 45 degree cut on 9" I used it on 6" vinyl and it worked excellent.

I highly doubt it, but if so it would take a long time to do so. But in defense of the saw, such cuts are not the intended purpose of this saw. This saw is intended for smaller cuts in tight spaces where boards need to be cut flush. For the cuts you are doing you should use either a table saw or a circular saw. Preferably the table saw.

I would definitely use a jig to keep your angle correct, but the 3/16 seems very small. Refer to your owners manual for the correct file size, and angle for your saw.

I have taken a oak board 6"x 1"x 2" sawed a grove down it as the saw blade is about the same thickness as ulu knifeblade. You can have a cabinet shop cut one for you if you don't have the equipment.

Maximum cutting depth at 90 degrees is two and three eighths inches. Maximum cutting depth at 45 degrees is about one and five eighths inches.

I use the saw to primarily cut glass. I have made crosscuts up to 24" ....as far as the width, I have cut 48" pieces of glass with no problem. I have used it to cut 12x12 and up to 18x18 tiles....hope this helps.

Most cuts on a miter saw are performed at specific angles: 90 degrees/22.5 degrees/etc. Almost all miter saws therefore have "detente" at these commonly used stops so it's easier to get to them quickly, i.e. 'indentations' in the angle tracking plate of the saw itself.

Which way are you cutting 45...across the 10" end OR board laid flat and 45 across 10" width of board (cut would be appx 14" long. Best answer is NO to either way. I suppose it could be done by painstakingly moving and flipping board...not a clean cut. Best answer is use a typical 10" or 12" compound miter sliding arm saw. Shop around.
