    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!

    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.

    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 ua-cam.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.

    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.

    Just purchased this saw on Amazon prime day, it was $100 off and a $200 dollars off for taking out the Amazon prime card brought the price down to $349 plus tax. I'm going to sell my Dewalt job site saw for $200 making the total price under $200. What a deal. This setup and review video was the best I've watched on the web and the reason I decided to upgrade to this saw. Great job, keep making these review videos, there very helpful.

    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.

    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

  • @rjh6380

    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. 👍

    • @ProjectsForAllReviews
      @ProjectsForAllReviews  Рік тому +7

      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!

    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'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 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.,

    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.

    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.

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'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.

    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.

    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 UA-cam 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 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.

    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

      @@thomasclarke8220 Yes- you can get to it, but it's kind of a pain to do it. You either have to get on your hands & knees & reach up under the saw (tough on 64 yr. old knees) or flip the saw upside down. Also, the dust tends to stick to the track because of the lubrication on the track parts ( or maybe because of an electrostatic charge from the spinning blade (I'm not really sure on this)).

    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.

    *Doesn't come with a flat table.
    And this if fine when doing construction tasks, but if woodworking, all Jobsite saws are flawed this way.
    For instance, cutting smaller (barrow, or short) pieces, they can be off by several degrees due to the raised area around the threaded insert.
    Even the high end SawStop has this same issue.
    Niw, if you go back 10-12 years when jobsite saws had cast aluminum (not stamped aluminum on modern saws.) They gave you better cuts at a much lower price.

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 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?

    • @ProjectsForAllReviews
      @ProjectsForAllReviews  Рік тому +1

      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!
