Thank you for your video. I bought this saw as my first new miter saw and had questions on it. Since my Dad passed, youtube is now my go to. You answered all my questions. Thank you

Thank you David for sharing the video. I have the exact saw. It's my first time using a miter saw and watching your video help me a lot.

Thank you for this video! I just got this saw today and I am definitely not a handyman. Watching you set it up and use it has really helped!

Fantastic Miter Saw. Thanks for video

I really liked this review. I just ordered one.

Awesome, just what I needed for the setip

GREAT review. I've had this same one for about 4 months and love it. You'd have to spend a LOT more to get anything significantly better.

Looks good and easy to use with all the stuff and dull becill and at good price

Great review !!

Nice video David. I have this saw and the same stand clamps here in New Zealand. I like it a lot and you get real bang for your buck. Skil tools are sweet for DIY and construction. I also have the Skil table saw, drill press, router table, 10A fixed base router and the 14A plunge router. All my Skil tools have heaps of power. Nothing bogs down. Next on the list will be the Skil bandsaw to replace my old but very cool 1984 Black & Decker drill powered bandsaw. Skil are the best value for money hands down. They are accurate, powerful and they last. Even if that saw only lasted 1/2 the life of a DeWalt you are still in the money no worries at all. Guaranteed it will last longer than that.

Great video sir 🫡

Had this saw in my Amazon & Menard's list for awhile. I almost bought the Delta Cruzer over Christmas when it went on sale for $249 but because of the dust collection issues I decided to pass on the Delta. Picked this up on sale at Menard's for $199 yeterday (1/7/2024). Will be testing it out soon but seems to be a good saw.

Dewalts had the shadow line for a while, it definitely helps

I chose this based on amazon reviews but didn’t buy it yet. Now that you took the time to make this AWESOME video that my dad told me to watch im absolutely sure this is the one. Seriously THANK YOU. Total newbie here and this really helped. You should get credit from Skil!!!

Not sure if the deal is still on but got mine 5 days ago when it went to 219$. I’m super impressed with it. I’m using it to break down lumber and soon will be moving into a new shop and need to make a lot of quick cuts for shelves and cabinets. As far as I can tell, it’s dead on straight from the factory. Their 14amp router combo is at 119 too, absolutely no question the best value out there

It’s on sale now - thanks for the video David. I watched it just now after already buying mine - I just received it last night and wanted to see a review on it. I bought it for the price and it looked like it had a nice build. I’m glad you validated my decision by showing us this nicely put together video. Best of luck with your Woodworking business AND thanks again for the video!

I legit started looking into the market for a miter saw. I’ve never owned one or done much woodworking but I’m looking to get into it.

I still love it.

Bought this saw 2 1/2 years ago for $250 I tied to switch blades and the nut holding the blade wouldn’t come out. Skil sent me a new saw after 2 months, but I’ve been using it ever since. Good saw but had to make a better dust collection system. It needs better clearance on the right side of the blade as the mother gets in the way on taller pieces.

I was trying to not buy this, so I shouldn't have come here. But I'm about to go down and get one after this video, lol. I'm sure I will love it once the money leaves my hands.

I wouldn’t consider the broken piece a mistake. Dude stuff happens. I’ve had pieces fly off in all directions. I’ve cut into the fences on several saws, broke a fence and sent it flying once. Had a piece go through the dust chute through the dust bag and into a sheet rock wall before. This is over 20+ years. It doesn’t happen more than a handful of times in your life unless you’re being careless. Nice job getting the exact replacement.

Thanks for the review…. Seems like so many of these sliding saws are prohibitively expensive. This may be the one I go with for my needs

Hello. Could you kindly inform me where you obtained the replacement part for the dust collector?

Does this say have a depth adjustment

Do you happen to have a video on how to square this saw up? I have had 2 saws of this brand and both were out of square when I received and I have never been able to get them square. Never had that problem with other brands.

Thanks for this review. How stable is the stand?

Man, I found this saw on marketplace after I watched your review and bought it for $180. I didn’t get to check out the saw but it “looked” legit. Got it home, plugged it in and ran the blade. Noticed when I released the trigger the blade was not slowing and I couldn’t remember if it had a blade brake or not but definitely was a red flag. I ran a piece of construction 2x6 through it and it would cut but then the blade would just stop like something internally wrong. Now I’ll have to contact Skil to figure out a repair shop and see if the cost is even worth it. Such deceitful people 😡

Lesson learned??? Lol 😂

Will this saw cut a 4x4 in one pass? Also is there a model number for the stand?

How long before using them do you store your pickets in your shop?

I have a ridgid chop that I gotta replace

crazy how this saw is so cheap in america, in the uk its like £750 same with a lot of the top dewalt saws and stuff too

Where are you looking? The amazon link on here is £940 😂Must be an import. At that price I might as well get another makita LS1219 which I'm trying to replace on a budget. I'm trying to get this saw and the jobsite 10" table saw here in the uk. Skil don't list them on their uk website and state availability is through their authorised retailer screwfix..... If screwfix decide to sell them???? Screwfix state they have no plans to sell them at present and didn't even know they existed. Skil are p1551ng me off with just one UK outlet, that one being screwfix.

I just bought one today. I’m very disappointed with the roughness of the slider bearings. If I push and pull the slider slowly I get a rough bump bump bump feeling and it doesn’t move smoothly. Has anyone found this on theirs?

I had a little of that at the beginning, until I realized that I hadn’t set up the fence right, and the motor housing was slightly bumping into it and the hold down clamp. Once I figured that out, there were no issues.

I have the Ryobi as well and the hold down clamp is a joke. This saw has all the features you'd want and you can't beat the price.

I bought this saw because of the low price and good reviews. I wanted to replace my older harbor freight hercules 12inch with something smaller. This saw is a cheap piece of junk. I'm returning it to Amazon immediately. My hercules is a Cadillac compared to this thing. I will not be buying anymore skil tools.
