Track + Adapter Plate removes 3/4 inch depth of cut, so it honestly depends on the specific model of saw you've got. 6-1/2 inch saws are generally good to 1 inch material, the majority of 7-1/4 inch saws are good to 1-1/2 inch DOC, though some will still leave splinters on a 2x4 due to model variations, and your 8-1/4 inch saws are good to 2 inch material.
