Without turning the piece 180 degrees to double cut, that would be impossible ---even with a slider, that this is not.
The included 'shadow line' is arguably better than a laser, in that no matter the blade teeth of whatever blade, it shows the total width of the blade onto what is being cut, but without shading, still hard to see in direct sunlight.

We use blade stabilizers, so even less, but a 12" blade with a 1" arbor hole leaves a maximum of about a 5" vertical cut (12-1=11/2=5.5) before hitting the larger than hole arbor nut at the maximum center cut line ability by moving the fence.
You are going to be flipping/rotating material to cut "Up to 7-in material vertically and 7-1/2-in nested against the sliding fence." Then you could probably cut 10" x 10" material.

Good to know that Metabo HPT isn't the only one that can cut larger than 5".
If all you want to cut is Crown molding that has two flats at 45 degrees to hold at a 45 degree angle on base and fence, go for it. Most people are cutting dimensional lumber and not happening.

But nonetheless, it appears that these saws can actually cut what they claim they can cut.

At 90 degree crosscut only, that would make the saw usage extremely limited for even trim to fit your agenda, but worthless to everyone else.
Even a 3/4" square trim board for door jambs that are square on four sides cannot be cut at the advertised cutting capability at even 90 degrees crosscut while nested at 45 degrees because the square corners do not nest like crown molding. The hypotenuse of both top and bottom for 3/4" thick adds to the crosscut dimension. If thicker lumber, the even less than as advertised.
And yea, forget about miter cuts at the advertised crosscut capability for anything... even a piece of paper.

Take it up with them if you believe it only has "a maximum of about a 5" vertical cut"

Read it again.... "Cut Capacity: Up to 7-in material vertically and 7-1/2-in nested against the sliding fence" ..... that is impossible for the vertical and only possible for nested if the material is 45 degrees on top and bottom such as 3/4" or less crown mold. I am not taking it up with anyone, as I already know the specs are BS.
I am here for discussions, helping others if I can and not endless arguments from narcissistic trolls with limited knowledge.

Of course, those are the max figures that they give. If you change the parameters of what's being cut, like increasing the thickness or changing the angles, those figures will be slightly lower, but clearly not impossible to achieve as designed.

If you are happy using the backside of the blade to cut narrow slivers quite a bit taller than the fence, go for it. For nested crown, you are limited to sprung crown, the type with an undercut to 'nest' the maximum 7-1/2". It seems that all of these Asian manufactures increasingly stretch their so called 'general' specifications to the point of being absurd... and worse, unsafe for the novice that tries to do it.
PS: Since it is obvious you have no real life, hands on practical experience, before doing what you endorse, you might want to make sure that ObamaCare or whatever health care pays for reconnecting fingers.... or not.

Just because those aren't the cuts that you want to do does not mean that they can't be done.
