      Does the European model (1340AA) support a Dado saw blade? I found that the 1340 comes with a 30mm shaft (CMT makes a Dado with that hole diameter) but I can't find information anywhere about the length of the shaft and whether an 8 inch Dado can be installed regularly, is there enough room for both the Dado and for the washer and nut?

    • @tHekrack23
      @tHekrack23 Před 4 měsíci +3

      @@Despot-ji4pk There is enough space in the erbauer ETS2000, the saw is the exact same one as the one shown in the video (same factory, same parts, different paint job). The only hypotetical problem will be getting the dado stack legally (it depends on what country you are on and the law there). Here in spain is not hard to get, but it may be different in other places. And about the skill "european" version (1340aa) I don't have it, but knowing well the processes of manufacturing, it will surprise me a lot that it was any different in anything but the power cord (to work with 220v).

    I bought this saw 2 months ago. Everything square and accurate right out of the box. The folding legs are awesome and not flimsy at all. The detachable elbow allows me to send most of the sawdust into a 5-gallon pail. Light enough that I can easily put it back on the shelf when I’m done. For the price, you can’t beat this saw.

      I find the contractor sized saw market confusing. The Delta seems very popular. Obviously only they know what the sales numbers are but I imagine it’s been profitable since they now offer it as a Ridgid. That said they only have one competitor in the price range in the Ridgid R4520 and we know how that turned out. I really wonder why more company’s aren’t jumping into that market. Even at $800-$900, if the quality is good, I’d but interested. Thanks as always for watching!

    @Ritalie Před 7 měsíci +5

    14:00. That adjustment knob for the blade parallel, the easy riving knife adjustment, as well as the saw legs and adjustable feet at 20:00 are just amazing!
    These are the types of innovations that need to be standard on all circular saws in 2023. I purchased a Milwaukee #2732 7 1/4" right blade flagship model M18 cordless circular saw brand new from Home Depot and the shoe is .020" out of alignment with the blade, so the shoe is not parallel to the blade at all, and there is absolutely no possibility of adjusting it because it's 100% riveted together without any nuts or bolts anywhere on the saw's shoe plate.
    To replace the Milwaukee, I purchased a Flex 7 1/4" cordless circular saw (24 volt kit from Lowes on sale with lifetime warranty right now) and the shoe is bolted on with 2 small hex bolts, allowing the possibility of adjusting the shoe left or right if it gets out of alignment. Shockingly, the Flex saw is 0.000" dead flat parallel, the blade and shoe are absolutely perfectly parallel. I tested another Flex saw, a 6 1/2" belt drive worm drive saw and the shoe is also 0.000" perfectly aligned on that one too! (No blade burning or any blade marks at all on long guided cuts).
    I tried 2 Milwaukee saws, and both were 0.020" out of alignment, brand new out of the box from Home Depot. I won't be purchasing anymore Milwaukee tools, because I'm so disappointed in the horrendous misalignment of the #2732 saws I tried. If they had simply added a bolt for adjustability, it wouldn't be a problem. But they went out of their way to go the cheap route, use all rivets, and no bolts, so the user is stuck with a useless saw that can't complete a clean cut.
    I just posted a new video on my channel where i show the comparison I did between the Milwaukee and the Flex.
    The fact that a new flagship circular saw (or table saw) can have zero adjustment for the blade parallelism to the table or shoe is totally unacceptable. I will never purchase another circular saw or table saw, until I check to see that it's easily adjustable, because accuracy is more important than power, or weight, or any other factor.

      Of course you can never go wrong with a good contractor or cabinet type saw if you have the space, and Deltas are great saws....but when space is at a premium, this Skil portable table saw is great, the only one above it is the SPT99 which has a smaller table, but a worm drive motor like Skil's worm drive framing saws they've built for decades....I have this same Skil table saw, it has plenty of power to cut through hardwood, and the table is good for most workpieces. It'll also cut through a 4x4 that I find comical as my Ridgid TS3612 won't quite cut all the way through, which I find strange.

    Your video is directly responsible for me purchasing this saw yesterday. I've completed all of the checks and the fence was the only item that required adjustment. I bought it locally for $299 (3/8/23) not including in-store rebate. Thank you again. Great video.

    I have had this saw for over a year, and it has been great! All my alignments were perfect out of the box, including the fence was square also! I made my own zero clearance insert and purchased the dado insert which worked amazing. Love that it can be stored in my shelf so I can save garage space when not in use. it is loud though, be prepared for that.

    I bought this mitre saw in June 2014, and I remodeled my basement with it. It it sturdy and it works great czcams.com/users/postUgkxKL3MYO42eA2JbKxs7_Q0tmRGZI4Ow4Ar . There's not a lot of extra play in the adjustments and it is definitely well built. It is lighter than higher-end sliding double bevel models, so I can move it myself, which is nice. When I had to cut 2x10 lumber, I had to flip the boards over and cut twice; but since most of my cutting was on smaller dimension lumber, the weight reduction and significantly lower price seemed to be a better trade off for the boards I did have to flip. Late in the project, I was able to borrow a DW718, and the sliding feature does make fast work of 2x10s, but it is a tank, and I stand by my choice of the DW715. I also added a laser guide (one of the arbor replacement style sold on Amazon), which is nice to have, but definitely not needed.

    I am Glad to see that Chevron is doing good things with all Skil products and has brought Skil back from the cheap no love days of Bosch …. The sad thing is Bosch run down Skil so bad that no one is looking at Skil that much ,and there new lines are better and there is innovation and thought gone into them . The New compact drills 12v and 20v are great mid tear tools and the value in what you get is Fantastic 👍the Lithium ion Battery cost is probably the cheapest of 95 % of the market . Skil needs a better Marketing campaign to let people know come look at the NEW Skil products.

    I've had this saw myself for about a month now. Fantastic little saw. The only issue I had setting it up (I had to adjust everything as it was all out of alignment) was the fence wasn't plumb just like you experienced. I used a piece of hockey tape to plumb it up in true Canadian fashion similar to what you did with paper. The only real downside I see with this saw is the throat plate is pretty flimsy. Will be making a zero insert plate for it soon.

    • @ProjectsForAllReviews
      @ProjectsForAllReviews  Před rokem +2

      I agree that throat plate is pretty cheap. I looked on Etsy just now and don’t see any cnc cut mdf plates for sale. Kinda surprised those Etsy folks are usually on top of it. I’m generally too busy/lazy to make my own. I also would have like to seen the dado nut/washer included but the dado insert with hardware is only $16 bucks. So not bad. Thanks for watching!

  • @jsmxwll
    @jsmxwll Před rokem +7

    The push stick being slightly flexible is good in terms of safety because if you catch it in the blade it won't shatter. Hard plastic push sticks are prone to shattering and they can throw pieces hard enough to break eye protection, ask me how I know... I pretty much only use wood pushsticks now for exactly this reason.
    I bought both the Skill TS6307-00 10" table saw and the DeWalt DWE7485 8-1/4" table saw and I wanted to share my experiences with both in case anyone else is considering between them. Both saws are great for being job site saws. My use case is doing some furniture work here and there and some smaller crafts. With a little care and finagling, you can get both of them to produce clean, consistent cuts. They will never have the stability that a cabinet saw has, but that is a tradeoff you have to expect when you're getting a lightweight saw like these.
    The fence on my Skill was out vertically exactly the same as yours. The fence on my DeWalt was fine.
    In the end, I went with the DeWalt DWE8475 for two reasons:
    1.) The Skill was regularly tripping my 15 amp breaker when I was sawing for longer periods of time. I had already purchased a thin kerf blade to reduce current draw, but it didn't help enough. The Skill would still jump to 14 amps or more when making challenging cuts. The DeWalt also had a think kerf blade and even after long cutting sessions never caused an issue with my breaker. On challenging cuts the DeWalt never pulled over 12.5 amps according to my current monitor.
    2.) The Skill would bog down badly when ripping 2.5" thick hickory and stallout completely on 3.5" hickory meaning I needed multiple passes just like the DeWalt. The DeWalt didn't have much issue with full depth cuts through 10/4 hickory and handled the 16/4 in two passes just fine too. I tried throwing my 8-1/4" blade on the Skill and it still bogged more than the DeWalt, so the DeWalt is the one I kept. I had no real issues with red oak on the Skill, though it bogged down badly on 3.5" cuts, so I think it's probably fine for most regular work. I fully understand these things were designed to rip softwood dimensional lumber and sheet goods on jobsites, not hardwoods like hickory.
    I have no need for dado blades, so that wasn't a consideration.
    Hopefully that's helpful to someone.

Did you ever measure the sound level of this saw with that same meter? I would love to know for comparison. Thanks!

    I want to downsize from an old, tired Delta cabinet saw to something that fits better in my undersized 1 car garage that has to compete with other stuff too. Now I just need to decide between this Skill saw or the Dewalt saw that you reviewed in another video. Things to look forward to in spring.

    • @ProjectsForAllReviews
      @ProjectsForAllReviews  Před rokem +1

      As someone who’s used both the DeWALT and Skil now I can tell you they are surprisingly similar. The Skil is like a lighter weigh more portable version of the DeWALT. Both were excellent though. Considering the price, brand and one saw is make for commercial use it’s a tougher decision than it should be…Thanks for watching and good luck with the new saw!

      The SPT99 is more of a jobsite portable saw, much smaller table, but if I recall that one is the worm drive motor, so a much beefier motor in a very compact easily transportable saw. Great buy for sure, more expensive, but well worth it if you are doing a lot of heavy cutting.
