Power is incredible, great features!
Rating: 5
I bought this saw to finish some projects around the house. Am I glad I did! It cuts through wood like it's butter! After struggling ripping boards with a circular saw, this is so easy! Great features and love the big wheels! They make moving the saw easy... from the garage...over curbs, sidewalks, in the grass... no problem. Handy storage of all the tools and accessories that come with it too. Very happy with this saw! Made building my backyard swing a dream!

Easy to use right out of the box
Rating: 5
I am very much a beginner woodworker with limited tablesaw experience, but I find this saw easy to set up and use. I have been able to get great quality cuts and the rack and pinion fence system is an absolute must have for me. It came fairly well dialed in right out of the box, but the riving knife needs a little adjustment, as it pinches the piece against the fence a little bit. My only criticism isn't even about the saw, but the mitre gauge that came with it. It's just not very substantial and pretty sloppy in the groove which made some of my cross cuts a little inaccurate. That being said, though, I know I'm just going to build a mitre sled and cross cut sled anyway, so I'm glad they didn't waste the money on an item I probably wouldn't use anyway.

Power - Precision - Skilsaw
Rating: 5
I own this saw now for about 6 month and honestly I have not found a thing I do not like about this saw. Quick and easy assemble after arrival and every part was securely packed up. I ran various materials thru the saw, from ripping 2by's to multiple sheets of ply on the job. This saw does not stop or slow down whatever you "throw" in its pass, even when pushing it hard. I am very pleased about the dust chute and the genius elbow to bucket idea. It works perfectly even on windy days on the job site. Something so simple makes a huge difference. The blade compartment is sealed off pretty good, so most of the saw dust flies into the bucket or sucked up by a vacuum/dust extractor when used. I found out that the big wheels on the stand really come in handy when rolling over rough terrain on the job site, in and out of the truck, and sometimes even stairs. Quick and easy access/ storage of the push stick. Pretty much all accessories are nicely stored in the base of the saw. I had to fix the factory alignment of the fence, but don't you have to do that with most saws?! The saw has a very small footprint when stored (upright position) compare to my other saws which I own and owned before. Smooth and quality rack and pinion fence system. Overall, I am very pleased with the saw, it is powerful and precise. I would definitely recommend this saw to anyone.

Great table saw
Rating: 5
What's up guys Im one of the owners of Deadwood Revival Design and we make live edge furniture so using this table saw has been very useful to us. Right out of the box it was very minimal assembly and minor adjustments which is the same with any table saw. First time I used the saw was to rip a 3” thick slab of oak and it powered through it with ease. One of my favorite features is the stand which folds from storage position to operating positing smoothly. The rack and pinion fence adjustment is great and I feel like I don't need to check for square each time I adjust it like my last table saw. Overall this is a great table saw with many features and I would absolutely recommend having this as part of your arsenal.

Read many reviews before making the purchase.

Very accurate out of the box, only needed minor adjustments. Has a lot of power and it slows the blade pretty quickly after turning it off. Also it is not too loud.

Great Saw
Rating: 5
I purchased this saw because I wanted something portable with a wide rip fence. This saw has impressed me by how powerful the worm drive is. The fence is solid and easy to adjust. Blade adjustments are equally easy. I'm really enjoying using it. It is loud, so using ear plugs is advised.

Cuts through wood like “butter”...
Rating: 5
I had an old craftsman but this thing is in a completely different category. The ability to fold it and stand it up is great, the attachments all have a place so they don't get banged until when stored upright... and did I mention it cuts wood with almost no effort! I love that it comes with a push stick... the only way to make it better is to have an auto feeder with a remote control... or better yet, voice commands 😉 just joshing!

Great job site saw
Rating: 4
I bought this saw for home projects, as I'm remodeling my master bedroom, bathroom and trim throughout the house. I love that it's easy to move around since space is limited. The worm drive makes for powerful cuts. The wide gate makes for large rips. My only complaint is the rough table surface. It's a little sticky. Other than that. Super happy. Great buy.

Buy this saw!
Rating: 4
I hope you have a saw which is pretty right on for accuracy between the blade and the miter slot. Because you can't use the table to adjust it because the table has 6 other bolts besides the 4 trunnions bolts. You can adjust it using the arbor. The instructions don't tell you that. Other than that it's a great saw!

Will not cut a 90 deg edge on boards
Rating: 1
I purchased this saw on 11/27/18. At first I was amazed how powerful it was then after a couple years of use and fighting to get good cuts I finally realized the surface of the table saw is not flat at all. I am so upset with this saw right now I am planning to get rid of it as soon as I can and purchase a Dewalt or something better. I am so depressed with this saw and finding this out now, I know it's been a while but I could have sworn it was flat when I first got it. So either it has warped over the past two years or it was never really flat in the first place. I cannot get a 90 degree cut so it is very discouraging.

Great SKIL saw at a super price!
Rating: 5
This is a great name-brand circular saw for an excellent price. The price includes the blade for this SKIL saw. Some of the other brands do not include the blade - yes, really. It is easy to handle and work with - working on my back deck. I would recommend it.

Great cut, affordable price

Great saw and great price! Out of the box worked like a gem, attach the blade and go. Laser was a good feature. Would recommend Skil everytime for circular saws

Design features
Rating: 5
The new design takes left handed crafts persons into consideration. The laser feature is great and the notches in the front of the shoe keeps the saw on the line for us that had problems with that in the past. The shaft lock make it very easy to remove and replace the blade.

Great Product!!
Rating: 5
I bought this saw mainly because I was in a pinch and my old battery-powered saw burned out on me. But this thing is impressive! I've worked with the older 15amp and this new smaller model is way more powerful! For a DIYer like me or a handyman type guy its a perfect saw. Plus a 5 year warranty. Highly recommend.

Great Saw!
Rating: 5
Excellent buy on this saw. Only thing I had to do out of the box was attach the saw blade. It cut beautifully right out of the box. No real set-up required. I recommend this to anyone needing a good circular saw.

Great so far
Rating: 5
Completed my project without any fuss. Can't say for longevity as of yet, but so far I am thoroughly impressed with the Skil brand Circ saw. Great features you aren't likely to find on a saw in this price range.Perfect for a weekend Diy'er.

Great saw at a great price. I am using this saw mainly with my Kreg Rip-Cut and Accu-Cut jigs and it makes breaking down plywood panels fast and easy.

Excellent saw at a good price
Rating: 4
So far I am very satisfied with the saw. It is powerful enough to handle any job but light enough to be easily maneuvered. I haven't used the laser much but it's nice to know it's there if I need it. I like the trigger safety switch. If the saw included a blade break, I would have given 5 stars. Included blade cuts well.

Skil saw w/laser
Rating: 4
Nice saw, balance good, no dust collection adaption on saw and laser is 1/16 inch off line out of box. Bought to replace 25 year old Skil (still works), mainly bought for laser.

Replacement saw
Rating: 4
Great saw. Been using SKIL for a while now and needed to replace an older circ saw from another brand and this one fit the bill. My only concern was that it didn.t come with a lefty option but hey not many do!
