makita have a handheld saw  the 5402A but there is a newish one on the market.

Cut big jobs down to size. The biggest worm drive on Earth features a cutting capacity of 6-1/4 in. so you can tear through 6x in one pass.

 

 

you have to get them from america as they are too dangerous for this side of the pond...

gobby, do you know of anyone in your local area who has a chopsaw that has a 4" deep cut?

 

i have the DW708 and used that on my 6" table legs for the large table i did on the "all my woodwork so far" thread. you do have to flip it but being a chopsaw it gives accurate results.

 

i would not be without one so i suggest you consider buying a second hand one on ebay.

Agreed 

The larger mitre saws once set up can deliver really accurate cuts. I’d avoid the bigger circular saws for doing precision work. I’ve a Makita 0600 270 mm model and to be honest it was a wasted purchase, I used it once to cut some 8x8 beams  and did not like it at all. I got better results with a handsaw and patience.

Hi I have a big old Makita circular saw hand held and for rough stuff it’s ace if I had time to adapt something so it could run on the track that came with the makita track saw that would be cool ,but I just can’t find a big chop saw .

Makita LS 1219 is what I use, 315 mm blade will do a 100mm cut over a decent run.
