Yes, a lot wider. Mine will miter 45" on a 2x6. I think it goes
wider than that but it does go at _least_ that far.

Jesus! 45"! That is more than my Radial Arm saw will do! My
12" sliding compound will only cut about 14" at most. What size
is yours?

Any reason having both radial arm and the slider? I have both but didn't use
the RAS the last few years.

The RAS is for framing and can rip if needed. It is permanently
setup at my shop and I use it mostly for framing and rough
cutting. The SCMS is for trim and more fine cutting as it is
much more accurate and is portable. I also have a 10" CMS and an
8" CMS and a 10" MS. A tool for everything. If you want to
throw in the old manual mitersaw, I have a total of five.

But then, that's what happens when you are a contractor.
