Regarding bevels: I'm not sure what you mean about using the fence on the left side of the blade for bevels as it's a one-sided fence (I actually don't like this) and putting on the left side of the blade won't help me cut bevels.
I'm considering all options as I don't want to mess this up. All I can tell you is that I bought this saw because I needed something larger than my Beaver 2200 and the recently purchased Rockwell 6201, which are likely fall into the "toy saw" category in your eyes.
I rarely wrestle full sheets of ply etc. on the saw as I prefer to cut them using my straightedge and Skilsaw. So my need to crosscut a 4x8 sheet is zero. I think you would also suggest that a panel saw is the preferred way to go about this anyway.
I will say that my garage is only 20 ft x 18 ft. and has a pillar smack dab on the middle. I could take out the pillar but I'd have to install a steel I-beam. Like most of us, space is at a premium. So a saw that is over 8 ft wide is a real challenge to deal with in a small space.
I'm also dealing with the detritus from the prior occupant of the garage so until I can sort that out I'm a bit stuck.
