Is a cordless miter saw powerful enough for framing and 2x stock?

Across the reviewers we read, the answer depends on saw size. Compact 6-1/2" and 7-1/4" cordless models comfortably handle trim, 2x4s, and most 2x6 work, but reviewers consistently recommend a 10" or 12" cordless (or a dual-battery 36V platform) for repeated 2x12 or 4x4 cuts. Specialist publications note that DEWALT's 20V 12" slider and Makita's 18V X2 platform deliver runtime and torque close to corded performance.
