Well if you're talking about the length of the cut, you don't need to attach the spring to the ceiling. It's only when you want to cut thicker wood than can fit under the upper arm that you'd need to remove the upper arm. And then you'd need a longer blade.
Depth of cut, to me, is the thickness of the wood you're going to cut, and that's the only reason for removing the upper arm.

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
