❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can it cut a 2×6?
At 90°, it crosscuts up to 2×8 nominal lumber. The slide extends capacity significantly.
Is XPS a laser?
No — XPS is an LED shadow line system. It casts a shadow along the cut line, which is more accurate than a laser.
Can I use a 10″ blade?
No — this saw only accepts 7-1/4″ blades with a 5/8″ arbor.
