I have the Kreg Rip Cut and it is a great tool. When I use it, I cut the plywood just a tiny big larger then run it through the table saw for perfection. It is also a great tool to have to cut your sheet goods down in the parking lot to make them fit into a small car. I use my little Ryobi saw on it.
Bonus on the Skill Miter saw... the angled motor. I dont think it gets mentioned enough, but the miter saws with the angle motor make a huge difference on large stock
Damn that's nice. Never thought about them when I was looking into this saw. Went with the Ridgid that's built from delta, same as the delta Cruzer. Happy with my decision but I really like the idea of that angled motor.
Please do a side-by-side comparison video of the Kobalt TS10602 Table Saw to the DeWalt DWE7491RS (you've previously touted as best contractor table saw) and the Skil TS6307-00 (you've previously touted as the best budget contractor table saw). You can add others if you'd like, but I want to know how you think the Kobalt stacks up against two you've already raved about. It is great to see Kobalt and Craftsman getting some 731 love for a change. Thank you.
@@Tom_37 STANLEY BLACK & DECKER is the parent company of both DeWalt and Craftsman. So, the two are completely compatible. S B & D purchased Craftsman from Sears in 2017 for $900 million. Black & Decker purchased DeWalt in 1960 from AMF. Stanley Works merged with Black & Decker in 2010 to form Stanley Black & Decker.
Where is the ten thumbs up button? This is my favorite 731. I love your love for the Savior and the little reminders of Him throughout the videos. You found new features on some tools that I wish had been available when I started. Watching was a bit like finding two young people with name tags and listening to their message deeply and honestly.
I use the craftsman v20 tools. I prefer the cordless sander versus corded. It made sense since I already had other tools that use the same batteries. The V20 4ah batteries last forever.
Need a kobalt planer and kobalt compressor that come with the 3 nail guns reviews pleaseeee!! Planer is pretty expensive at $500 and the pancake compressor comes with Finish, Brad, and Pin nailer for $200!
I'd like to see a shoot out of tabletop jointers at some point. I've been thinking about one, and I'm not sure between the budget ones like Wen or a mid level like Rikon, or something even fancier. Great video as always!
The brushless drill and impact is jam up. Good value if you already have the batteries for other tools. They should however come with belt clips. Amazon will sell you generic belt clips for like $6 though. Not really a woodworking tool but the craftsman caulk gun is great addition for around $50.
Matt, I just wanted to thank you for your build videos, even when you didn't have "nice" tools. I was watching your videos a couple years ago and thought, I've got wood and all those tools, let's build something. Thanks for the encouragement. I've now built cabinets, furniture, and Adirondack chairs. I've had to upgrade tools to increase productivity and just ordered the Ridgid version of the delta cruzer to upgrade from my harbor freight miter saw. Thank you for being a blessing and inspiration to all of us who hear the message. I recently posted a wood working short that got over 10 k views over night.
I bought that exact sander, after a few hours of sanding, the whole pad broke off. I ordered a cheap replacement from Amazon, actually 2 replacements, and 6 months later, the 2nd pad is still in its packaging. Maybe I just got a bad pad, or I did something I wasn’t supposed to. I love it now, it is a great sander, even with the hiccup. I grab this way more often than my Bosch, I just like the way it feels in my hand better.
Some of these tools sure look like the Harbor Freight Hercules series. Would you consider reviewing their products ? (Harbor Freight). We are fortunate to have Home Depot, Lowe's and Harbor Freight in Northern Nevada, each store has their good points. Thank you for all your efforts in helping us weekend warriors, I'm retired so everyday is Saturday.
I also have a Wen unit. Works great. The amount of saw dust particles is picks up does help to keep the garage a little cleaner. Planning on adding a 2nd one.
I had to look for more budget friendly options after loosing a good job a little more than a year ago. I went with the skill router combo here and was blown away. I love my dewalt and Bosch routers but this is right up there. After that experience, I found myself needing a mitersaw again to help set up my new shop. Again, I was blown away by it. Even though things are getting better as far as my job goes, I won’t hesitate to get more skil tools
Id like to see a full review of the Kobalt table saw. I might just get it. What I would love for you to show is how it can be used while NOT on a bench top, like, free standing. Or if it comes with leg accessories and how light it is to move around the yard if I'm doing projects outside. Also, how easy is the blade change. Thanks!
I had bought Bessy F clamps when I first started woodworking. Very good clamps but as time went on and the arthritis in my fingers got worse I had trouble getting them tight. I finally replaced most of them with the Jorgensen clamps because the clamp grips are much easier to use.
I just purchased the WEN Air Filtration System. I had my eye on this one for a little while now, but seeing it here helped push the decision. Should arrive Sunday. Thanks Matt for helping me to take care of my lungs. 😀
I would love to see you compare the Kobalt table saw and the Skil table saw that you always recommend. Thank you for the videos, they are a great help in picking tools.
Thank you! Very helpful for me as someone who wants to begin woodworking. Lowe’s is 3 miles from my house. The nearest alternative big box store is over an hour away.
Man I bought that Kreg rip jig to cut down sheet good and every single time I use it finds a new way to make me more inventive with curse words. I found just clamping a straight edge down grants me all the flexibility in any infinite number of sizes and directions I need while maintaining a proper straight cut, while only being slightly more annoying to set up each time. One day I’ll grab a track saw though
I've been looking for a small benchtop drill press and noticed the Craftsman and Kobalt 10" have better specs than others for the price. I'd like to see a review of one of those.
That Kreg rip jig is a game changer! better than a track saw for super long cuts if you ask me. And people who rip a full sheet of plywood on a table saw are both crazy and super-human.
Great review! That Skil router looks really nice. Two feedback comments. (1) The Craftsman Sander (and it's sister from DeWalt) uses a dust collection connection that doesn't fit neatly with a Ridgid vacuum. Need a Fenco attachment to make it work seamlessly (and cheaply!!!!). (2), the Kreg rip cut is a little tricky to use because you have to have one hand on the saw and one on the guide, and yes it will can (and probably will at some point) "walk" on you (I know from from experience). It is best used on a big piece of Styrofoam (like they recommend) underneath the material. I have mixed feelings about both of these tools. But! You are my number one guide for "basic affordable tools" and I am so thankful for your review on the Skil Table Saw -- best purchase I ever made. Keep up the good work! This is a great channel and I love your humble approach (1 Pet 5:5-6).
Kobalt has a new bandsaw at Lowe's I wish more people would review. I've been thinking about getting it but there aren't any good reviews up for it yet.
You highlighted almost my entire tool setup haha. I've always been a fan of Craftsman so I'm deep into the V20 platform as well as their other various power tools and storage options. I've loved all the tools and they've served me well. The one tool I'd probably avoid is their newer table saws. I got a Craftsman table saw, more so out of brand loyalty but if I could go back, I'd have picked up Skil or Kobalt instead. I have the Skil router w/router table kit and its amazing, I still want the router combo you featured here. Great video and thank you for continuing to highlight cheaper options for us.
I own all craftsman and dewalt battery tools. For the most part, I can’t tell the difference in performance. I will say, the battery life is much better for dewalt. Great stuff from Stanley B&D
Looks like kobalt improved their tablesaw...I've got one that's several years old on a built in stand that folds.. it still works buth the fence won't hold square and the blade assembly binds up when you raise and lower it
Again iove the help i wish i seen your videos before i thought the more expensive the tools it would last longer found out the hard way, thx for the videos😊
Naw I would’ve gone with the metabo hpt table saw. When it goes on sale u can get it sub $400. Integrated stand and largest rip capacity. It’s been mine for the last two years and love it
Thank you so much for making it so easy for beginners like me to get good tools first time around. I've been watching your reviews and others too and decided to go with Skil for the saws (table, miter and circular) and their router too.
I've had issues with the drill bits that come with the Kreg jigs. If I'm drilling a lot of pocket holes, the drill bit will expand, and I can't adjust it for different thicknesses. I've started buying one every few months, especially if I know I've got a project coming up where I'll be using pocket holes.
I'd be interested in a full review of the Skil miter saw. I currently have a Milwaukee 10" M18 saw that I've never really loved. Wondering if yhe Skil might be a decent replacement? I'm hoping I can sell my Milwaukee.
You should've got the Kobalt miter saw. It has the bevel on the front, so that you don't have to reach around the blade to bevel it. It's also made by Chervon like the Skill is.
I have had one of the older (3 yrs ago) Kobalt jobsite table saws, and I hate it for 2 reasons: horrible fence (not ratchet) and extreme difficulty turning the height adjustment wheel. I have been looking at the DWE7491RS, but it is so much more expensive than the Kobalt saw you list here. I know that a lot of the extra cost is the portable stand, but I would love to see a comparison of the performance of the two saws here if possible. Thanks!
I would like a full review of the Kobalt benchtop table saw. I'm very interested in buying one. I'm not a woodworker, just a hobbyist, and for the money, it looks good. What do you think?
I got all my Dewalt tools from Lowe’s or FBM as well as my Metabo miter saw. I have lots of clamps and odds and ends tools from Lowe’s as well. Growing up, Lowe’s was closer than Home Depot so I always gravitated toward Lowe’s. Now they are about equidistant. I still go to Lowe’s first, but Home Depot is growing on me. Still waiting for a sale on the Ryobi speed bench!!
Just be careful ordering things from their website. I got myself a high-end Ryobi pressure washer and surface cleaner from HD website and it came with the whole chassis twisted. It was the type of damage that could only happen from being hit by a truck or damaged by a forklift. You had to roll it around at about 15 degrees off of center. The soap feed also didnt work. Their solution was to offer me a $40 refund. I ended up having to return it but now im stuck with a bunch of accessories I purchased on Amazon that I can't use. Im a Pro customer at lowes so they bend over backwards to make sure we are happy. I really wanted to like Home Depot too
Very nice video. I got that Skil router on sale at woodcraft for less than 100 bucks. I was shocked from the quality. I also have the 8 inch jointer and it gives me the ability to mill my own lumber.
I’ve seen a lot of your comparison review videos but there is one brand I haven’t seen you try out. The Hart tool line that Walmart sells. I have some of their tools and I find them awesome for a beginner but I’m no expert by no means. With that said I would like to get your honest opinion about that line of tools.
Also is there a clamp like the one on the skill miter saw that can be used on other saws . Really hate the standard screw type clamp that comes with most saws
The Kreg jig drill bit collar is a great idea but the tool they give you to tighten it is crap. I rounded the edges on two of them the first time I used them.
Random, but curious: What kind of lighting do you have in your shop? Does it aim up to reflect off of the ceiling? It has a diffused look with minimal shadow lines. Thanks
I have a few different lights. 2 that are video specific and the others are the shop lights I got on Amazon. Shop tour here czcams.com/video/yW8zr9gKZtk/video.htmlsi=_WU2qGK0WLl3NJNU
You still recommending the skil table saw over thus kobalt one? Im waiting for another good deal on thay skil saw bit looks like that kobalt could be a direct competitor with rhat skil around the same price...
Hey Matt, hope you see this. You featured a custom made, 3D printed edge guide for orbital sanders in some of your videos and I am trying to find them but I don’t remember the makers name and can’t find them anywhere. Would you happen to remember? Thanks in advance. God bless!
Thank you for bring us the awesome content my God bless you for helping us new wood works out .could you please do a full review on the wen jointer and thanks to you bc of a review you did on a skil 10in table saw .I now own it and loveing it
Hi Matt , I started watching your channel when you where first getting started . I liked your channel and got some good ideas . I see you have members only channel I get it you got to make money. this is not me being troll our hating I'm not member on the other channel . But why not once and while put up on this channel a video of a simple project well thanks
I bought this saw a couple of years ago and returned it because it would not. It says it is Dado blade compatible up to 3/16, which is only 1/16 wider than a standard kerf blade. Ultimately, the arbor just isn't long enough.
I ended up going with ryobi for that reason. Handles a full 13/16 dado which is something I use a lot. I will say if you go with ryobi they have two ten inche. Models, go with the slightly more expensive one. I didn't notice the lower priced one has one miter slot which would be fine if it was on the left side of the blade but it's on the right. The higher priced one has two and is slightly bigger cut capacity though that's not a issue for what I use it for. And toss the stand it comes with away, it's certain to break at the welds and the feet love to disappear Making it hard to keep stable.
Cool deals, would def be interested in a more detailed review of the Skil miter saw. Side note,I was always curious as to what that surface is on your workbench 😅 Is that some sort of rubber mat?

Must be your location. I cannot move in my Lowe’s without running into an employee
Never ask for help if you can do it yourself. Even if it means using a fork lift.

I recently posted a wood working short that got over 10 k views over night.
I have the craftsman sander you showed, and I absolutely love it.
I loved the Wen 6” jointer so much I bought the 8” version too. Kept the 6” in case anything ever happens to the 8” but what a great affordable tool
I don’t know about affordable but I’m a fan of the Bosch table and miter saws. I purchased at Lowe’s. Both with cords .
I bought that exact sander, after a few hours of sanding, the whole pad broke off. I ordered a cheap replacement from Amazon, actually 2 replacements, and 6 months later, the 2nd pad is still in its packaging. Maybe I just got a bad pad, or I did something I wasn’t supposed to.

I have that WEN filtration system. For the price I couldn't beat it. Works great

Craftsman cordless finish nailer. For the price they are excellent. I've had one for 3 years, use it often - 0 issues.
I have the craftsman drill and impact driver set. Very satisfied.
I had bought Bessy F clamps when I first started woodworking. Very good clamps but as time went on and the arthritis in my fingers got worse I had trouble getting them tight. I finally replaced most of them with the Jorgensen clamps because the clamp grips are much easier to use.
I have the compound Miter saw from Kobalt works perfectly.
I bought my Skil miter saw from Lowes and am very happy with it. Solid, accurate tool.
I have that WEN jointer. It's 8 years old and going strong!
The Kobalt Table Saw looks like a rebranded DeWalt contractor table saw, which is a great saw!
I just purchased the WEN Air Filtration System. I had my eye on this one for a little while now, but seeing it here helped push the decision. Should arrive Sunday. Thanks Matt for helping me to take care of my lungs. 😀
I have been using the craftsman versastack organizers for a couple years now without a single problem. definitely some of my favorite organizers

Great video, Matt. Lowes is one of my favorite shopping destinations. I like it even better now ! 😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love your content, but I've always heard not to pick up the jointer by the tables. Especially if they have been difficult to get to co-planar.
Man I bought that Kreg rip jig to cut down sheet good and every single time I use it finds a new way to make me more inventive with curse words. I found just clamping a straight edge down grants me all the flexibility in any infinite number of sizes and directions I need while maintaining a proper straight cut, while only being slightly more annoying to set up each time.
One day I’ll grab a track saw though
I would love to see a full review of the Skil Saw miter saw. Thanks!
I've been looking for a small benchtop drill press and noticed the Craftsman and Kobalt 10" have better specs than others for the price. I'd like to see a review of one of those.
Kobalt just released their thickness planer. It would be interesting to see how it stands against the other top planers
That Kreg rip jig is a game changer! better than a track saw for super long cuts if you ask me. And people who rip a full sheet of plywood on a table saw are both crazy and super-human.
I have been looking at that air cleaner for a while. I need to get one.

I would buy those clamps for the hand grip alone. The best grip of any clamp.
The Wen jointer looks like the Porter Cable jointer that I have used for years.
I have the same skil router and it works great especially mounted in my skil router table.
Wouldn’t mind seeing more on that tablesaw. Before I buy it or the Skil!
I have that table saw and sander and I like them both a lot. I would love to see a review of the table saw
Yes to the review on the kobalt table saw! I was looking into the skil table saw as an affordable option, but now I’m curious how they compare.
Kobalt has a new bandsaw at Lowe's I wish more people would review. I've been thinking about getting it but there aren't any good reviews up for it yet.
Now I'd like some more info on that Kobalt table saw. I have been waiting for the DeWalt 10" table saw to go on sale, but may look at this instead.

Again iove the help i wish i seen your videos before i thought the more expensive the tools it would last longer found out the hard way, thx for the videos😊
Naw I would’ve gone with the metabo hpt table saw. When it goes on sale u can get it sub $400. Integrated stand and largest rip capacity. It’s been mine for the last two years and love it
Thank you so much for making it so easy for beginners like me to get good tools first time around. I've been watching your reviews and others too and decided to go with Skil for the saws (table, miter and circular) and their router too.
How about a comparison of the Skil and this table saw? Pretty please?
can you do this with home depot too

I've started buying one every few months, especially if I know I've got a project coming up where I'll be using pocket holes.
I would like a full review of the Skil miter saw please.
I like Lowes for hand tools. Their battery power tool brands other than Dewalt I feel are almost niche brands or I'd be beta testing it...
I'd be interested in a full review of the Skil miter saw. I currently have a Milwaukee 10" M18 saw that I've never really loved. Wondering if yhe Skil might be a decent replacement? I'm hoping I can sell my Milwaukee.
did you trade or still debating?
@@patrickbledsoe2176 I'm still debating. My wife gave me the green light to buy whatever saw I want, so I may try and sell the Milwaukee for a Bosch.
The jorgensen planes sold at lowes (low angle and the #4 ) are probably the best bang for the buck planes on the market
You should've got the Kobalt miter saw. It has the bevel on the front, so that you don't have to reach around the blade to bevel it. It's also made by Chervon like the Skill is.

full review releases later today on my channel.
Please do full review on kobalt and skilsaw. Maybe a comparison with dewalt 10 table saw.
Yes please do a full review on the Kobalt Table saw!
I go to Lowes all the time. Always satisfied.
I got all my Dewalt tools from Lowe’s or FBM as well as my Metabo miter saw. I have lots of clamps and odds and ends tools from Lowe’s as well.

Just be careful ordering things from their website. I got myself a high-end Ryobi pressure washer and surface cleaner from HD website and it came with the whole chassis twisted. It was the type of damage that could only happen from being hit by a truck or damaged by a forklift. You had to roll it around at about 15 degrees off of center. The soap feed also didnt work. Their solution was to offer me a $40 refund. I ended up having to return it but now im stuck with a bunch of accessories I purchased on Amazon that I can't use. Im a Pro customer at lowes so they bend over backwards to make sure we are happy. I really wanted to like Home Depot too
Very nice video. I got that Skil router on sale at woodcraft for less than 100 bucks. I was shocked from the quality. I also have the 8 inch jointer and it gives me the ability to mill my own lumber.
crafstman organizers are nice but they need a flat plate mounting option like millwake
I value your reviews. Clear thorough thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
It’s not so much a “challenge” as it’s a very well thought out commercial for Lowe’s.
Lowes sells bosch and I heard about their 12v version of their milwaukee installation driver with interchangeable faces. Ould you review that?
I’ve seen a lot of your comparison review videos but there is one brand I haven’t seen you try out. The Hart tool line that Walmart sells. I have some of their tools and I find them awesome for a beginner but I’m no expert by no means. With that said I would like to get your honest opinion about that line of tools.
Also is there a clamp like the one on the skill miter saw that can be used on other saws . Really hate the standard screw type clamp that comes with most saws
The Kreg jig drill bit collar is a great idea but the tool they give you to tighten it is crap. I rounded the edges on two of them the first time I used them.
I like my kolbat tablesaw. I got the older version without the rack n pion
Random, but curious: What kind of lighting do you have in your shop? Does it aim up to reflect off of the ceiling? It has a diffused look with minimal shadow lines. Thanks
I have a few different lights. 2 that are video specific and the others are the shop lights I got on Amazon. Shop tour here czcams.com/video/yW8zr9gKZtk/video.htmlsi=_WU2qGK0WLl3NJNU
@@731Woodworks Thanks! Will check them out.
It's a shame we don't have Lowes over here.
You still recommending the skil table saw over thus kobalt one? Im waiting for another good deal on thay skil saw bit looks like that kobalt could be a direct competitor with rhat skil around the same price...
I JUST BOUGHT THIS TABLE SAW AS MY 1ST SAW, I WOULD LOVE YOU TO REVIEW IT.
I have that Skill router. It is a good router for the money. Awesome video Matt! Keep being the Outlaw you are on tools!!
I never thought of me being a WOODWORKER. I can now say I AM a woodworker. Thanks.😁
Lowes challenged me to find quality lumber.
I usually shop HD. Go to sift thru 20 pieces to find one that is acceptable.
Any plans to put that table saw up against the skil table saw in a future video?
I would like a more in depth review of that Kobalt table saw. I am hoping to get a saw in the next 6 months or so. Such a video would be helpful.
Coming soon...
Hey Matt, hope you see this. You featured a custom made, 3D printed edge guide for orbital sanders in some of your videos and I am trying to find them but I don’t remember the makers name and can’t find them anywhere. Would you happen to remember? Thanks in advance. God bless!
I have the rip cut and I confirm the review. While track saws are better, this works for much less money
I have the skill mitter saw and agree 100% with you on it. Nice saw
Great video as always Matt and some great tools to check out . Thanks for sharing
Thank you for bring us the awesome content my God bless you for helping us new wood works out .could you please do a full review on the wen jointer and thanks to you bc of a review you did on a skil 10in table saw .I now own it and loveing it
OK. Now I need a heads up Kobalt vs Dewalt contractor table saws!
Can you review Walmart hart power tools?
Great list Mighty Matt!!
Gday from down under.. I would really love your opinion on the HiKOKI AC Table Saw C10RJ(H1Z)
Hi Matt , I started watching your channel when you where first getting started . I liked your channel and got some good ideas . I see you have members only channel I get it you got to make money. this is not me being troll our hating I'm not member on the other channel . But why not once and while put up on this channel a video of a simple project well thanks
I’ve been looking at that Wen air cleaner for a while. Think I’ll have to pull the trigger.
Will the Kobalt table saw take a dado stack?
I bought this saw a couple of years ago and returned it because it would not. It says it is Dado blade compatible up to 3/16, which is only 1/16 wider than a standard kerf blade. Ultimately, the arbor just isn't long enough.
I ended up going with ryobi for that reason. Handles a full 13/16 dado which is something I use a lot. I will say if you go with ryobi they have two ten inche. Models, go with the slightly more expensive one. I didn't notice the lower priced one has one miter slot which would be fine if it was on the left side of the blade but it's on the right. The higher priced one has two and is slightly bigger cut capacity though that's not a issue for what I use it for. And toss the stand it comes with away, it's certain to break at the welds and the feet love to disappear Making it hard to keep stable.
@@JamesSmullins interesting. Thank you.
@@bledford13 Thank you for the information. Good to know. 👍
Cool deals, would def be interested in a more detailed review of the Skil miter saw. Side note,I was always curious as to what that surface is on your workbench 😅 Is that some sort of rubber mat?
Yep just a 1/8” thick rubber mat from amazon
@@731Woodworks cool, I was looking around but couldn't find a roll that looks that big. Do you happen to have a link or it?
@@leoisidro5476 It's actually 3/16" thick, here's the link www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LSUS2W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1
