Did I Find The BEST BUDGET Table Saw with the MOST Features?

I went on a mission to find a great table saw for those on a budget or beginner woodworkers. This Skil Table saw is a great choice for a beginner table saw. It has all the features you would want in a table saw. It has a 10-inch blade, an excellent fence, and plenty of power to cut through most any wood you would want.

I just want to thank you for this video. My father passed away a few years ago and I needed someone with knowledge that I could trust. You are that man. Thank you for everything you do on this channel.

After other reviews (this was a year ago), I purchased this very table saw. And, after a year of use, I can say I'm very glad I did! It performs beautifully and handles everything I throw at it. My only issue so far is the table surface marrs very easily. And that's it! Everything else about it works fan-flippin-tastic! Highly recommended 👍

I just bought this saw TODAY and I paid 259 for it, just a heads up. Went to Lowes where they had it in stock and priced at 269, I had them price match Walmart which was online order only at 259! Watched this after buying it and im so glad I made the purchase!

I bought after your recommendation From Walmart for 300 bucks. Great so far. I even started making Microjig Matchfit jigs to use with it. I have made your channel my top wood working channel because of your faith based Christian view and advice. Im also a police officer in a high crime city in VA. For 26 years I did carpentry before law enforcement. I enjoy it as a way to deal with the pressures of the job. I really admire your commitment to the craft and I appreciate your service as a police officer and a man of God. I do like your videos regarding faith and world advice fulfilling the great commission we have all been Called to fulfill , more people need to hear it. Keep it up, your content has just gotten better over years.

Time for a follow up on this saw, as Skil has made some improvements. Bought one this week from the local Menards and noticed that the newest ones on the floor came in a much cooler box, which was black with white lettering. Inside I discovered that there was a separate smaller riving knife included so they are now removeable. The throat plate is metal not plastic, and at least on mine, the fence is a nice perpendicular 90 degrees. Thanks for your initial review which got me looking at this saw in the first place.

I bought this saw a couple of weeks ago based on this review. This is my first table saw and I’ve gotten a lot of wood through it already. Adjustments are simple and everything works like it should. Thanks for pointing this rookie in the right direction!

I recently purchased this saw based on one of your more recent videos. Just a tip to other viewers who own guis saw. There is a special throat plate made specifically for use with a dado stack. This plate included a special arbor nut that claimrs to make the use of a dado stack on this saw safer. See your owners manual for the item number. I found mine in acme tools

[dronepilotflyby]

It's now only $300 on Amazon and I bought one because of your video. Thank you. I wanted to replace my ancient Craftsmen bench model because it had no protection pieces, a friction fit fence and no t-channel for the miter.

I'm just a hobbyist so it's not worn out but the motor noise of the of the Craftsman is twice that of the Skil. The rack and pinion fence, guards and other features you highlighted sold me on this.

About three minutes in and this video is the absolute BEST setup video I have seen on YT! I bought this table saw about a year ago and am now getting around to unboxing and using it. The last time I used a table saw was in high school shop class DECADES ago, so I'm definitely a novice. You included aspects of setup and use that people like me need, as we're going it alone. Thank you so much for a clear, well-informed, professional-level video. New subcriber.

ability to take dados was the final straw, this is will my christmas present to myself 😎👍

[stevefinlay]

Great to see a believer being bold on his channel. Love the t-shirts and the, ‘Greatest Free Gift, ’ video that you made available. Awesome brother! I pray it is being effective leading others to Christ Our Lord.

I actually just bought this. Haven't even pulled it out of the box yet. After much research I bought this because of everything mentioned especially the fence. Glad to hear that I made a good purchase.

Today i went to a tool consignment shop (sorta like an amazon liquidation store) and was looking for some clamps and my mom walked down a row and there were 2 or 3 table saws... but in the midst of all of them, was a hidden gem. A 10" craftsman tablesaw with a standalone stand, manual, push stick, blade guard, blade change wrenches, dust bag, fence, miter guage, and a blade, all gor 149.99. The table saw is now in my shop!

25 years ago I worked in the “tool corral” at Home Depot. Even back then, these Skil table saws were packed with features the other big names didn’t have. They were half the price in many cases and more than double the features. They weren’t a super rugged job site saw, but really fit the bill for homeowners and light commercial use. Probably the biggest downside, was the name. Skil, once a leader in the power tool field, was considered sub-standard to many tradesmen. Glad I found your video, quite by chance, as I am in the market for a tablesaw for my handyman business, guess I will have to reconsider this old friend !

So I have this saw and I've had it for about 18 months. I only do occasional DIY stuff, but have used it on very hard Beechwood Butcher block where I resawed a 6 inch portion of a desk cut-off. And some regular 3/4 hard maple, both with no issues, amond other easier woods. I did install a Diablo combination blade and aftermarket mitre guage, but the saw is actually really good. I like it a lot, it's easy to use, very convenient being able to fold it up and put it in a closet. I got this saw after I had a Crafstman saw that was a total piece of junk. Uneven surface, nothing was square, the mitre slots were a proprietary T shape. I returned it. This Skil saw was only like 40 bucks more and it was night and day. Would 100% recommend.

Thanks for your detailed review! Just purchased this (Sept. 2023) for $299 from Walmart, free shipping. Great price!

[flyfliker]

I purchased this saw from Walmart on line $299. Your review influenced my decision. Thanks

[VDIESEL]

Thank you for helping in my decision to purchase this saw. Your video was straight to the point and made me more comfortable in my choice. It also answered some questions on it's ability.

[andersonolive]

Just ordered mine today! Found out about this saw when you put this video out I am EXTREMELY excited. First tablesaw and the only tool I need to have a fully functioning shop. I will post an update once it arrives.
