It will depend on how the motor sits on the miter saw. I have a Bosch 12" with a direct drive and it won't cut completely through tall stuff since the motor hits on the right side. I have a Ridgid 12" with an offset motor (belt drive) and it has enough clearance to cut 5" speed base standing up. Use a slider by all means.

Why not just make two passes with a ciruler saw, one on each side and not have to rent anything?

Actually two cuts will turn out like Ray says. If I am cutting with a circle saw, I use a speed square to mark the lines on all 4 sides, cut the first one, rotate the wood to where the cut is toward me, continue with the cut all the way around. Even with 6x6s it leaves a minor "core" that needs to be cut with a reciprocating saw. By following the line all the way around it makes a pretty good cut.

And all the tool rental places in the world won't help a bit if the operator can't accurately cut to a true, marked line.
