## Description

The SKIL 15 Amp 8-1/4 In. Compact Table Saw delivers power for a range of applications and cuts whether you’re cutting deck boards, framing out a wall in a basement remodel, building a bar, and more. Rip down sheets of plywood, make crosscuts, and cut dado joints confidently with the saw’s rack and pinion fence rails that ensure the fence stays parallel for fast, smooth, accurate cuts. Its compact size makes it easy to transport and store between use. The aluminum table allows high-quality cutting performance while a dust port elbow redirects dust to a container for easy cleanup. The parallel blade alignment allows for ease of blade adjustment along the rip fence and miter slot, for precise accurate cuts. A safety switch delivers immediate shutdown for added safety. The table saw comes with a miter gauge, push stick, modular guard system, fence, anti-kickback pawl, (2) blade change wrenches, and a dust port elbow.

Review: Good, inexpensive, capably powered - Good saw with plenty of power, especially when paired with a good blade. I've been able to get nice, accurate cuts and easily build a couple of things in the few short weeks I've owned this. Right out of the box everything was in true and I've not had to make any adjustments to the alignment. Additionally, I like the size and weight. I wavered between this and the Dewalt model (twice as much), but the Dewalt is appreciably bigger while this saw fits fairly well on a shelf in my garage. No issues with the sturdiness. It doesn't move or wobble when I use it but I can still lug it from one side of the garage to the other without throwing my back out. There are obviously bigger, better table saws out there, but for less than $350, this is a steal and fits the bill for 95% of the projects I'll need to do. You will probably want to upgrade the miter gauge asap to something better. The included miter gauge is just awful. The fence isn't all that much better, but isn't nearly as bad as the miter gauge.
Review: Hands down the best table saw being sold today for the serious DIY'er - I have a DeWalt table saw that I purchased about 10 years ago that I absolutely love. It has a rack and pinion fence, built in fence ruler, lots of on board storage and just works great. I love using this saw. The only issue with it is that it wasn't cheap so when I needed another saw for our cottage out of state I was reluctant to spring for a second one. I started looking at all the low end saws and found this Skil saw. It was a little more (about $70) than the bare bones table saws but it to had all the features of my DeWalt that makes it such a pleasure to use. The rack and pinion fence alone makes it worth the additional money. No need to pull out your tape measure to measure the distance from the blade to the fence for each cut and to verify that the fence is perfectly parallel to the blade. Simply turn the knob to the desired cut distance using the built in ruler. lock the handle down and you are ready to go. The rack and pinion fence guarantees you'll get a square cut each and every time you change it. In addition to this all the various components of the saw store on board in their respective slots. The saw is equipped with a powerful 15 amp motor so stalling the blade is never a concern and the dust collection/port works great with a vacuum cleaner. Skil took the time to bake in all the positives of the DeWalt saws only they managed to keep the price low. Overall I'd rate this as the best value for your money saw on the market today.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great powerful lightweight saw at a great price
*by J***D on November 18, 2025*

An extremely effective, portable table saw at a great price! Power is fantastic, couldn’t ask for more. I would say the saw is relatively cheaply made- but very well engineered and effective in a way that doesn’t negatively affect it. I’ll update the review if I run into problems. But so far, it’s super powerful, lightweight, takes up very little space in my garage all folded up with its awesome integrated legs. The fence works great. The gears that move it up and down are a little crunchy as others have mentioned but as long as it doesn’t give me issues I’ll look past that. I got this on sale for $280 and I think that I couldn’t ask for more value at that price point.
