I bought the 15 amp Skil (the red one). I wanted the worm drive one but couldn’t afford the price difference. Is it actually worth the higher price? I paid $299 for mine new.
comparing the skil to the delta …if you only needed one and you had some time with the skil now which do you like better?
I bought this larger version after seeing the smaller version get lots of positive reviews. I haven’t even used it but I will in the next week or so, it’s installed on the base and easy to maneuver around even for my 5’1” frame so I appreciate that. I wanted a table saw that had a large rip capacity and the power to rip through hardwoods after using a Ryobi and experiencing its motor fail to rip without having to hit the stop to avoid kickback. Thank you thank you for reviewing this one, I had no idea I could get accessories nor did I realize all the storage capacity it has under the table. Question, how do we oil the motor? I haven’t found any detailed how to’s
That looks like a decent saw with a big dusting capacity. The cog looks very ropey cog flapping about a fair amount when you moved the rail along. Nice video 👍🏻
Great video as always! Let’s see the dewalt vs …
I’ve had a Master Plate for over 40 yrs.
Impressive, I remember a few years back Izzy Swan did a comparison between 4 job site saws and skilsaw would have been his choice of a job site saw between those
Looks like a great saw. Whoever decided to use flat head bolts for adjustment though should be fired.
To set the fence to the second position use the wrench that tightens the blade it has two holes in it to set it place first hole over first screw then adjust second screw to fit the second hole will be aligned with the fence for the first setting.
Your first one from Skil was a 8 1/4 table saw and this is a 10 inch so which do you think us better. I do prefer a 10 inch table saw.
Thoughts on this vs TS6307-00? I’m on the fence *pun* about deciding on which to buy @projectsforallreviews TIA 😂
Starrett makes an accurate stick on tape as well.
Surprised no washers!🧐😄🍻✌🏽
I’ve had mine for about 4 years now ( after my Dewalt suddenly burned up on a jobsite). Overall, it’s a really good saw with a few not so great points. The best thing about this saw is the power. The worm drive motor is a beast. By far the most powerful jobsite saw I’ve used. The few things that I don’t care for? When I’m not on a jobsite, I use it in my garage. The lack of an ability to add a quality outfeed table is a little disappointing. The factory accessory outfeed is garbage & the same design as my previous Dewalt. Rockler makes a removable outfeed table that is much better, but requires fabricating custom attachment brackets. Same goes for an infeed table. With the rack& pinion fence rails, there is no place to add an aftermarket infeed table which is needed if your ripping a full sheet of plywood. Also, adjusting the angle of the bevel accurately & precisely with a digital miter gauge on the blade is nearly impossible as the spring is too strong. It needs a fine adjustment knob or something. And my last "con" is the "track"(?) that slides when your raising or lowering the blade. It’s not sealed, so after using it awhile, it traps sawdust which then clogs the track making it difficult to raise & lower the blade completely. It happens quite quickly if you cut alot of MDF like I do.
Overall though, I do think it is a good saw & glad I bought it
I bought mine about 5 years ago and after watching your video I went and measured the tape measure on the saw and mine was spot on. Because of the performance of the table saw I went and purchased a skill saw and was impressed with it also. It also is a beast but is a little heavier than the Black and Decker I replaced.
Shame there is no UK distributor for this saw. I want one 🙁
It’s very hard to believe the measuring tape is off by that much, or off at all. Not sure how that passed inspection unless inches mean different things to different folks. Crazy. Makes me wonder about the rest of the tolerances although from what you demonstrated in your video, it all seems pretty darn good! Better than my Dewalt 7491RS by quite a bit. This saw was actually my first choice when I was shopping for my very first table saw. I just couldn’t justify the cost vs the Dewalt.
Another good one, Mike. I do like the Skil stuff nowadays (even though it is made in China) Thanks for turning me onto MasterGage. These are the companies I like to associate with. That dado was awesome. I’m still annoyed whenever I try to set up my Amana set. My jobsite saw is a thirty year old craftsman. It has worked well and it doesn’t owe me any money, but I’m always in the market to upgrade. You and your channel have helped me find some good stuff at a great price point. Keep calm and keep reviewing.
Appreciate the very thorough review!
Hi mike great video.!. I love how thorough you are in your review and i love your Delta saw. Would like you to compare the skill saw to that one, I wanted a delta saw but it would just kill my work space . I was wondering how much i will give up by purchasing a skill saw SPT99-11 over the Delta. thank you for the great video and any help would be great,
This is almost an exact copy of my boss that I’ve had for over 10 years Except for the word drive motor and the 16" wheels
How would you compare this to the dewalt 10" jobsite saw?
Love your reviews.
Would love to see a head-to-head with the Dewalt
How bout that kobalt one tho
Definitely need to see a comparison on this and the DeWalt
Dude I have been waiting for you to do this review before i make any purchases. Of all ll the saws that is on the market(jobsite saw) what is the best saw as far as power, performance and accurrency? I have a Kobalt first generation that has to go
Well kid, thanks to your review I took advantage of $50.00 off from Lowe’s and ordered the saw. It will be here on June 29th. Amazon has it at the same discount; however, cleaning my desk drawer I found a Lowes’s gift card my wife gave me for Christmas and I had forgotten about. $500.00 🤑. so it was not as painful to add the balance of $211.00 including tax. I should have bought it when it was $499.00 a few years ago. Can’t wait to destroy something with my saw.
‘Some Roman sword action right there’ 😂
Top review again looks like skill have a great tool here but bet we can’t get it in the UK again like it’s little brother that u also reviewed
That dado cut should have been done with two passes
“Knot a problem”
I have the Kobalt jobsite saw, and the ruler is also off. Is this some kind of joke the saw manufacturers are playing?
I’ll stick with my Bocsh. Great review as always!
Thanks for the demo! When it comes time, please show us how to perform the oil change for the worm drive.
No Way, China
Gracias a UD por tan buena información
Under $600 at Home Depot, I’d say it’s a great saw.
i would like to see it compared with the Metabo 10", 15A job site saw. I am going to purchase a new saw and like Skill but am leaning to the Metabo.
Another great video Mike very detailed as always!
I was waiting for your review of this tool. You delivered! I am impressed. My Skil TS6307-00 is working very well, fence shim is one layer of painters tape to make it 100% accurate, Thanks for reviewing the outfeed support. Perhaps drilling, tapping and install of another wing screw would make the support more secure. Good saw with a great review. Love you tabby.
Loved the video!I sell Saw Stops and after seeing this,I’m impressed.I personally own a Dewalt 745 and it is similar to the Skil.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼😎
I remove the rule from my saws and replace them with starrett measure stix sm66me. One of the best upgrades ive found.
Wow! Grats on 9K subs, Mike. I presume the orange cat is now trustworthy?
Great review on an almost amazing jobsite saw. It’s pretty shocking that the measuring scale is off by that much, and compounds the error over its length. I agree it’s totally unacceptable. One has to wonder how that got trough their QA, because any brand of Chervon tools are usually much better than that.
Not a deal breaker for sure, and simple enough to fix, but I bet it has cost more than a few people a lot of money. It measures short which is bad. If it measured long the material could be re-cut. Cut short and you’re screwed.
I make it a habit to check all new tape measures for accuracy, and it’s surprising how many are off by about 1/32" one way or the other. However, they are consistent the entire length of the tape. Not a big deal as long as you’re aware of it when it really matters.
I have a small production shop, i have two of these……i love these saws!
Thank you for the review. I was planning on buying this one a few years ago but I still have my Delta job site. But then when I was going to pull the trigger, the price sky rocketed. I’m just an every other weekend injured warrior🤣. So I couldn’t justify spending that kind of money. Now the fence on my Delta is falling apart. My brother keeps suggesting I buy the big Dewalt but I’m not a fan of the stand. I would love to see a comparison review of the Skilsaw vs Dewalt. I own a Skilsaw Worm Drive Circular Saw SPT77W-01 and it cuts like gangbusters. That is why I would prefer the Skilsaw Job Site table saw you reviewed.
Great review, Mike! Very informative video about an interesting saw for sure. Still getting by nicely with my 8.25 DeWalt, but always considering a 10 or a contractor size. Thanks for not doing Evolution!!😂😂
Thanks mate for another great review
I bought this saw recently. I had narrowed down my selection to this and the Dewalt 7491, and the safe choice would have been to get the Dewalt, to go with the rest of my yellow tools. However, based on your review of the 8-1/4 inch version and other research, I decided to go with this saw. I’m glad that I did. The saw’s alignment was spot-on from the factory. Nothing needed to be adjusted. I feel like the accuracy is good enough to do fine furniture and cabinetry, although I’ll be using it mostly for specialized framing work. I love that stand. It makes it really easy to get the saw in and out of the truck.
I don’t have the problem with the fence rails binding. I would be interested in seeing you figure out what the culprit is. Maybe something got bent in shipping. I haven’t checked the ruler, as I’ve been in the habit for years of using the same tape measure to set up all the tools I use for any given job. However, I do have a few minor concerns and criticisms. 1) There was no instruction manual included with my saw. No biggie as it’s downloadable from the Skil website, but what if they forgot something more important? 2) As you noted, it’s odd that they didn’t include washers for the saw-to-stand bolts. I added them. 3) I’m not wild about the plastic dust chute. What happens if a carbide tooth breaks off of your blade and gets thrown down into the chute? I am going to order a spare for safekeeping. 4) That channel in the fence helps make it super rigid, but I’m concerned that a splinter is going to get caught between it and the rear fence support. I might trim down a UHMW bar to fit in the channel.
All in all, these are very minor concerns, and I would still choose this saw over the competition. As always, I really appreciate your tool reviews and especially the high-resolution close-ups. 👍
I love to see the comparison
