Wow, I had completely ignored this saw because of the battery power supply. I am a believer in corded products since I work out of a garage shop. Didn’t want to have to worry about several different charging systems. After watching multiple reviews over the more cost effective job site, and less room demanding, I was trying to make up my mind between a Dewalt and the red 10” skil saw for my upgrade. I have a much older 10” Skil saw that still serves me very well but was looking for the much better gear drive fence, and larger cut capacity. I believe your review has changed my mind and set me on course to buy this saw. Absolutely great reviews on your channel. I have watched many, with this being the one that has most altered my plans. Thank you so much for your in depth and accurate reviews! I am a disabled vet that for the last several years has done nothing but sit, eat and watch the boob tube. It dawned on me a couple of months ago that I could go back to woodworking to give my life more meaning and fulfillment. Thanks to this I am out of depression and happily dropped 56 of my 427 pounds so far. You and your compadres across you tube have been a large part of this and the development of my workshop area. Just wanted you to know how much of an impact you have on making a vets life much better! So again please accept my sincerest thanks!
Thank you for your service. Trying to get out of the depression pit myself. Research the carnivore diet, it's getting fantastic results.
how are you doing, and how is your saw holding up
Steven! Congratulations on dropping all that weight. Awesome job!
I’ve had mine since they first came out and it still cuts like a champ. I never used the measuring scale and removed the optional fold down fence. You need to periodically check your dust collection port for wood slivers that can clog it and causes the blade to not lower all the way. No biggie there. The worm drive has never let me down and I’ve since made several nice jigs that fit my fence. It’s so portable and easy to store. I still really love this saw and along with a good Freud combo blade you can do some quality cutting with this bad boy. You will love it the more you use it.
Thanks for the insight David!
Where are these saws available? Can't seem to find a stockist in UK.
@@robertburton9785 don’t think they are I imported one to England so can use my dado and moulding head cutter it works great lots of power
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.
owned this saw for 3 years and the miter saw, gone thru 3 blades building a log home, would definetly purchase again. Changed the oil 1 year ago. very informative video!
LOVE that you did that massive dado cut! THAT is a great test for these saws!
Thanks Brian! I think it’s the best way to showcase the saws power. Thanks for watching!
All job site portables have their shortcomings. This saw has been in my cross hairs for awhile now and your review confirmed my thoughts about this saw. It is my choice.
Glad the vid helped! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your video! Convinced me this was the saw for me and not the “yellow one”. I downsized due to space limitations from a 3 HP Delta Unisaw so I was a bit concerned about quality and power. You help me make the right choice. Just received my Skilsaw. It’s pretty nice. Tape measure is off 1/16” in 24” so will have to deal with that. Diving knife was way off and a pain to adjust like you mentioned. Rip fence was close but I got it adjusted to within 2-3 thousandths 👍🏻. I have a Worm drive Skilsaw circular saw that is well over 40 years old. We built a deck in the yard with it and it runs like a champ!!! No issues. So that performance, power and longevity is what I hope to get from this table saw!!! Thanks again
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. 👍
The DeWalts a great saw too but I do like the stand on the Skilsaw a little better at least initially. Personally I think they are both great choices. Doing a comparison vid for those two is more or less inevitable. Thanks for sharing your experience with that saw and thanks for watching!
Thank you for this review!
This saw looks absolutely amazing.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Gladly, Love your unbiased opinions and weather as a professional or average Diy'er you would purchase a product. I believe your reviews let people know there are other products out there that are just as good or possibly better than the major brands. Good job.
You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice czcams.com/users/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video! I just ordered mine. First table saw for me ever. I'm incredibly excited to get it together and start creating!! Inaugural project will be a chicken coop for my wife!! Keep up the great content 💪
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.
Really happy to hear you liked it! Your Skil TS is a great saw for a fair price. Sold mine to a buddy after the vid and instantly regretted it. Learned my lesson and now I keep everything for more vids or reference. I might do a follow up vid fixing all the tools that have had minor issues including this one’s rails and ruler. Adding another thumbscrews a good idea too. Thanks for watching!!
Honesty. Love the critical analysis.
Thanks Jackie!
After 2 years of researching saws I choose this one just last week. Can't wait to get it as I've heard nothing bad ,other than the ruler, and honestly I always use a tape anyhow. But another great review from you supports my decision.
I don’t usually do this longs reviews, i think your voice helps, great work!
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
I'm a realtor and contractor. I started doing renovations about 7 years ago but I started roofing in 03 and was a rod buster for a couple of years after that. As I started doing more and more house flips I started using subcontractors less and doing more myself and I picked up this table saw about 4 months ago to replace my old Delta that I bought used several years ago. This all is better than my old Delta in every conceivable way. I have an old powermatic cabinet saw in my woodworking shop but I needed something portable. This thing is awesome and your video was one of the deciding factors to give this saw the greenlight. It has not disappointed and has been cutting lots of treated deck lumber like butter.
I’m happy to hear the video helped Daniel! This saw has become my go to also and I’m just as happy with it now as in the video. Thanks for watching!
I'm impressed with the engineering in the stand.
i've owned mine for a few years and love it, i fine calibrated it for my woodworking
Thanks mike! I can always rely on you for an awesome review video
Glad you like the reviews help! Thanks for watching!
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.
Thanks Meat! There was not a ton of options for a purpose made precision machined plates for calibrating a saw and I’m happy I found that one. Freud and others make a sanding and calibration disc but the dual purpose turned me off. How much care really went into machining it if it’s also for sanding I wonder. I appreciate you watching as always!
I love mine....2 years old and running like a champ
Thanks for watching!
Hi Mike, Skills got the a lock on the table saw at this price point. It is well designed, well implemented, right sized and a star performer. The steel fitment with plastic seat on the fence will warr in. The tape gage is thin so you could pull it up seat it again next to the tape you use most or replace it under warranty. I like the saw over all. Thanks for your review!
I have owned several Makita 8 and 10 “ table saws and always bought the Rousseau tables for them. I get at least 5-6 years of almost daily use from them. The complaint I have had is the plastic frame usually fails and the Rousseau tables adjustment and table boards( melamine) usually just wear out.
This Skilsaw worm drive saw looks like a decent set up and even though I am now somewhat retired I think I will invest in one. The only problem I see is the outfeed side. I hate material falling off. I always build a solid outfeed table. It serves may purposes besides keeping the material off the ground…a workbench for one.
Great thorough review, I’m subscribing.,
Appreciate the very thorough review!
Glad you liked the vid! Thanks for watching!
Great video Mike, keep up the great work. Look forward to your next review.
Thanks for watching!
I don’t think you mentioned that the blade rises to 3 5/8 instead of 3 3/8 so it will rip a 4 x 4 in one pass. Extremely convenient. I’ve had mine for 4 years now. I’m very satisfied with the performance. However the wheel to raise the blade wore out a year ago and I use a visegrip now. Very inconvenient when you need an exact rise. Also there is no blade caddy. The 16 inch wheels are awesome on a jobsite or stairs.
Another great video Mike very detailed as always!
Thanks Michael!
I just picked up this saw on clearance at Lowe’s for $357.47! I can’t believe my luck.
I got this saw. Love it. It’s a workhorse! I have to recalibrate the fence.
thanks dude- these are exactly what i needed when i needed
Awesome review Mike. Thanks! 😃
Thanks for watching Skippy!!
I have a small production shop, i have two of these......i love these saws!
Thanks for watching Doug!
Love your in depth reviews! Looking to set up a small shop and I'm on the fence between Bosch and Skil.
Years ago when I was a framer Skil was our go to work horse, but every time someone brought a Bosch on site we all were desperate to try it out. Funny to find myself in the same position 20 years later. 😅😅
When you showed the box dimensions, it reminded me that the box didn't fit in my car. I had to take everything out and flatten the box!
Lol!! I’ve done the same many times. Recently bought a pickup truck because of the channel. Love it. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Great review.
Glad you liked it Renaye! Thanks for watching!
PROPER JOB. VERY THOROURGH AND INTERESTING VIDIO. NICE ONE
Thanks for watching Timothy!
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
Glad the video helped and good luck with the new saw! I’ll have to do a worm drive oil change vid as many ppl have asked about it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks mate for another great review
Glad you like it Bradley! Thanks for watching!
awesome review, thank you
I was scrolling through for small shop and garage build. Going to get it.
Should have another video on this one soon. Skilsaw vs DeWALT. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the demo! When it comes time, please show us how to perform the oil change for the worm drive.
Will do! Thanks for watching!
Yes pls demonstrate the oil change. I’ve only heard others mention we need to use oil to keep the motor functioning properly but can’t find anyone that’s done the oil change, would be so helpful. Thanks for an honest review, I’ve been hoping you’d review this one.
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!!😂😂
Still looking forward to checking out that DeWALT. So many saws, so little time! Thanks for watching Daniel!
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.
Just bought one and love the larger wheels. Make it easier to wheel over uneven ground and get up and down stairs.
Good review. Been waiting to pull the trigger on a new saw. I have been framing with worm drives for 40 years, this would be a good addition. Thanks
Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching!
Love your reviews.
Would love to see a head-to-head with the Dewalt
Thanks Philip! Keep any eye out for that comparo vid. Hopefully within a month. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for showing that saw in detail. Although it may seem stupid, having that removable dust, port cover is a big deal if you have nerve issues. There’s nothing like dropping your wrench and the nut when you’re trying to put a blade on because your fingers start spasming. The fence, motor, stand, wheels, power switch, and just general build look good from the armchair.
I have an older version, maybe 5-7 years older that has a slightly different fence. It has a T-track slot on top like the one on the side. I use it to mount Jessum stock guides onto the fence. The side slot I use to mount stops when cross-cutting or feather boards. I wish the handle on the left side was even with the top of the table so it would help support wider sheet goods and/or cross-cutting sleds. It has been a good saw for me.
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.
Thank you! Getting dangerously close to 10k. I’m considering doing a meet the creator type live stream when we hit that milestone. We’ll see if I can find the time/cojones.
Your right and I didn’t realize I dropped the trustworthy part of that joke. Lol, nothing trustworthy about that cat!
This is a really cool saw and very impressive. Shame about the small quality issues but fairly minor. I didn’t get into removing and fiddling with the rail because I was already past the 30 min mark and felt I was already pushing it. Thanks as always for watching!
Thanks, excellent review. I've been searching for a better saw. I'm probably going to buy one to replace my not very good Kobalt table saw.
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.
We’re doing that DeWALT vs Skilsaw video so keep an eye out for that. I’ve been messing with a buddy’s Mag 77 and it’s a really nice saw. Been trying to think how to work it in a video. Thanks for watching!
hey bro, thank u for ur video. I am a SKIL fan for many years. Really like their products. I heard of this saw will have geat deal on AMZ Prime Day
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.
Thanks William! I really loved this one, has a truckload of power! Im looking forward to checking out the Sawstops Thanks for watching!
Gracias a UD por tan buena información
Me alegro de que el video haya ayudado. Gracias por ver!
Great reviews: This saw is the same $ as the Dewalt and it's so much better. Again, SKIL all the way for my money.
Dig your reviews, man.
Thank you!!
Another excellent review. Impressive tool, but I think the Dewalt 7491RS you reviewed would work best for me since I use the table saw almost exclusively for ripping 9/16" dadoes into 3/4" ply drawer side and front pieces which have all been made using various Festool equipment. I wish the DeWalt had the Skillsaw's excellent folding stand shown here, but the DeWalt version will have to suffice. The dado throat plate by DeWalt got terrible reviews, but there's a couple of CZcams videos depicting how throat plates for the DeWalt can be made from 1/2" ply. Thanks again for your reviews. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of them.
I’ve only used the dado plate with the DeWALT a couple times but I don’t remember anything notably bad. I could see wanting a less wide slot for zero clearance if you commonly used a narrower dado though. Thanks for watching!
I have the smaller version, and you're right they are gutsy saws. They are loud. I changed the gear oil at the recommended interval but had a hell of a time finding the proper oil. The service # I called was no help at all, don't think they knew what I talking about. Was able to track down a Bosch gear oil that is compatible. Poor support for the Canadian market
Hi @steve if you can share what oil you found it would be apreciated!
Probably SKILSAW 80111 Worm Drive Saw Lubricant,
For $10
perfect saw
Great review, yes please comparison with the Dewalt.
Thanks for the review. I will check out your comparison of this one and the dewalt. I'm on the fence between the two. Subscribed!
That's my kind of job site saw. Were those plastic gears on the worm drive? Are there aluminum replacement gears available? Do you calibrate each time you set up?
That deep as thick dado cut 😊
This saws a beast Jose! Thanks for watching!
My wheels don't fit on the shafts do you hammer them on?
Got to get myself one of those woodpecker saw agauges
I have this saw I love it overall. The pros outweigh the cons.
I use to have a star shop professional since 2005 loved it but I move a lot was too heavy I changed for this exact skill and I am impressed easy to fold carry in my jeep or home. It powerfull mean more that my huge 300 pounds one. easy to set. The 24T is crap not even straight. I have been making furniture for the last 32 years. I have a professional degree in furniture making "ébénisterie" and a teaching degree in it too. I know my stuff and I am telling you that with a better blade, this is a great table saw. Just order the back extention. It has to sit a little below. Vibration is and high back is responsible for some kick back accident. . Great video thanks.
What is the overall height when the stand is collapsed?
For your magnetic angle gauge, do you have a particular brand that you have found to be ‘better’ or is there really a difference.
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 👍🏻
I’ve noticed most rack and pinion fences have some play designed in. Probably helps when debris gets stuck in between. Thanks for watching Jason!
I love to see the comparison
Probably in a few weeks Shawn! Thanks for watching!
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,
Hello Fruitman! We’re doing the Skilsaw vs DeWALT next but I’d be surprised if I don’t do the Delta eventually. If you haven’t seen the Delta vs DeWALT yet check out that vid. I’ll bet the Skilsaw comparo will have a similar result. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Much easier going by this than the small text on the instruction manual.
Glad the vid helped Craig! Thanks for watching!
People should know that the Skillsaw has a geared transmission. The oil in the transmission needs changed per the manual. Thanks for the saw reviews.
Thanks for watching Rick!
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.
I’d like to make that vid for you George! The corded and cordless Metabo are on my short list. We’ll get to them soon. Thanks for watching!
I've had a Master Plate for over 40 yrs.
Same brand and design? Thanks for watching Louis!
would you recommend this over delta 36-725t2 or ridgid 4560? I am in the market for a better table saw than my kobalt 10152. Looking for better accuracy and the saw will never leave my shop.
Mike, I always enjoy your videos. They are professional and very informative. Can you please elaborate what kind of dado blade you used in this video.
Many thanks from Japan!
I have the Skil TS6307-00 10" portable table saw with the fold up legs....I honestly can't complain about that saw at all, sure its not 100% accurate, but its extremely close for what it is. Plenty of power for those times where you want a saw where you are working and don't want to try to drag the cabinet or contractor saw out of the shop.
This 10" worm drive would be great...I think the worm drive would be better for thicker materials, and for hardwoods since I would think it would have more torque than the regular direct off the motor arbor type saws. Glad to see the longer arbor for a wider dado, but for a jobsite saw, I wouldn't expect too much....how often do people using a jobsite saw like this actually take the time to switch to a dado stack, or even carry one with them?
I really love that TS Skil too William. I find myself using that dado stack much more than I thought I would when I bought it. It’s prob 4-5 years old now and been through wet treated wood multiple times. I’m surprised it’s still sharp enough to do that demo and should probably be replaced. For me the best advantage to the wormdrive besides the power is it’s size. Good height and large table, out feed extension is more useful than expected too. Glad the TS has worked well for you! Thanks for watching!
Great videos! I'm comparing this one and the DeWalt 10-inch jobsite. The factors that are giving me a hard time are the noise of the DeWalt vs. having top side dust control. For the Skil it seems much quieter but are the cut tests muted at all? Thanks!
Thank you! Yes all cut shots on my channel have the volume reduced. They are both very loud 90-95 dB is the norm for job saws. I’m going to do a direct comparison vid very soon and will sound check both side by side. Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews thanks so much for taking the time to answer. I'm thinking the DeWalt is the one for my space and features. Really like the smoothness of the fence adjustments and the aforementioned top side dust control.
I want either this or the Oliver compact saw for its variable speed to cut acrylic and other materials.
But this looks strong enough to run thicker blades than most compacts. Just wish they'd list a HP rating.
Awesome comment because we are getting the Oliver for sure! The schedules filling up around here fast but hopefully we get it done in a month or six weeks! Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews Would also be great to know which of these saws is better suited to some of the major accessories: fence, roller guides, miter gauge
Cheers! Just subscribed :)

I would like to see a review of the Oliver 10010 Compact job site saw as well. It has some unusual interesting features (variable speed, sanding disk, outfeed extension, optional cart, English PDF manual).
I remove the rule from my saws and replace them with starrett measure stix sm66me. One of the best upgrades ive found.
That's probably what I'll do also. Should have something on there for the vs. DeWALT vid. Thanks for watching!
Sounds sick. Looking forward to it. This is just a little extra engagement for the algorithm gods.
Seems better then my porter cable i got 7 years ago, cant even run sheet goods on it without having it walk away from you.
Oh the the safty blade guard flew off and hit me in the face when I turned it on, almost took out an eye.
I’ve never seen a blade guard fly off and hit someone! Not a good endorsement for a product. Probably time for a new saw! Thanks for watching!
If you could get any table saw under 1k what would you get? This, the delta, DeWalt, rigid? I’m really curious your thoughts
‘Some Roman sword action right there’ 😂
Thanks for watching Radin!
Think i could use this saw if i wanted to get into furniture builds, or cabinetry?
Absolutely. There are concessions with job saws for that type of work though. A small amount of accuracy reduction, loud noise, smaller tables but from a strict can it be done standpoint, sure it can. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Just some info for this saw. Outfeed table slop on left side when closed: I bought a 4mm x10mm knob clamp for the threaded insert on the outfeed extension rail guide. Works fine and holds the rail tight for transport. An S knob clamp would be best, but I couldn't find one so just a round knob. I also found that the fence and rail hang up less if the fence is'nt locked to the rail when moving from the right outside edge,. Not perfect,but does improve the rail travel. A little paste wax on the table top also seems to help with this. Still a Great Saw.
Thanks for the info and for watching John!
Definitely need to see a comparison on this and the DeWalt
I’ll get it done! Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews second this request
All they need is a bed extension for that left side. I love mine, but wish i had more table top on that side
Hey sir my saw came with an extra ruler with it….be sure and check the box before throwing away really good. My saw was bought in 2010 though. And you could do a video on the mitre guides on a few popular brands and see which ones WIGGLE around the least too…..that’s what gripes my butt !!! For what you pay, I anyway, like it to be tight cuz that’s a tiny bit of accuracy on cross cuts…. I don’t do enough to make a sled, so I like the guide to be really tight….I’m thinking Dewalt wins the contest too on that, at least from what I’ve had my hands on….. I also have a question, I was using a dado blade setup and I have lost my stupid throat plate for the 10” skil table saw….I’d have to go look to find the model, but do you know anywhere right off I could look online to find one, I’ll check Skil but I’m afraid my saw has been discontinued by now!! If you know of any where let me know…..thx…..Paul.
That’s crazy I hope I didn’t throw out a corrected ruler but I pitched the box after the video dropped. Check Amazon and Etsy for throat plate. That is usually where I find them. Thanks for watching Paul!
No tight spots here. I checked my scale and it was pretty close out to 24-inches at 75° F. Since the saw is aluminum and my tape measure is steel, I imagine it could be off at high and low temperatures. I never had a scale before and am not used to using it. I guess my scale is way off now since I added the half-inch thick UHMW to accommodate the width of the JessEm TS Stock Guides. I recently added the outfeed support and I do also have the dado insert.
Glad to hear your saw is good. Probably just a bad batch at the printers. I’ve never used that Jessem stock guide but it’s on my list.
I need this, smaller!!!!🎉
Here ya go! Thanks for watching!
Is WormDrive A Good Table Saw Design?? || Skilsaw 8.5 Inch SPT99T-01 Compact Table Saw
czcams.com/video/TLg-y9qkQ9U/video.html
Im down to this saw or the delta 725t2. Which one would be your choice since you've used both of them?
The Delta for sure. If you need portability then the Skilsaw is a great option too. Good luck
I have a circular skill saw its pretty dam good right out the box.
I’ve got a couple worm drive circs in the shop. Could be a future video topic. Thanks for watching!
Great video as always! Let’s see the dewalt vs …
Had a feeling I’d be doing that one before I said it. Will do David! Thanks for watching!
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.
Short answer, yes. But only if you really need or want the extra durability for daily hard use. Otherwise for homeowner use the red one is a really great saw for a very fair price. IMO. Thanks for watching Dan!
Thanks for this review. It's pretty eye-opening. I'm in need of a table saw to replace my old Craftsman 10" but like a lot of people, I don't have a lot of money or a lot of space. Do you have any insights on the Delts 36-6022?
That Delta has been on my radar for a while. I’d like to do that one and the comparable Kobalt soon. Keep an eye out. Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews, I'm a new subscriber and trying to catch up with all your content. Thanks!
@@JeffGloverArts Welcome Jeff! We’ll get to that Delta. So many table saws and so little time!
Like to see the evolution review.
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.
I know Dwayne I was shocked to find that ruler misprint! The DeWALT I tested wasn’t new out of the box so I can’t talk to it’s initial accuracy. Sounds like everyone wants a Skilsaw vs DeWALT vid so keep an eye out for that. Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews Will do. Thanks.
