10-inch or 12-inch miter saw?

Of the 28 miter saws here, 6 take a 10-inch blade and 16 a 12-inch blade, by their makers' figures. Each maker's crosscut capacity is below.

Each figure is the maker's own, cited on the saw's page. Crosscut capacity depends on the board's thickness and the saw's slide or fixed arm; the makers give it at stated angles.

Miter saws that come first on one figure

A pick here means first place on one figure the maker publishes, among the 28 miter saws listed. It says nothing about quality, and we have not tested these tools. Whether we earn a commission on a tool never decides a pick.
