Hi Vince. I just want to give ya big thank you for your review of this saw.
I purchased this saw a little over a year ago based on this review. I've since used this saw pretty heavily all this past summer doing 3 composite decks and a complete vinyl siding job on our new house. I changed the blade to a 60T Diabolo for this work. It cut the vinyl like butter. FWIW, one has to pull the blade thru the vinyl rather than the traditional push thru in order to get clean, non-chipped cuts. I got precise cuts on all the composite decking as well...all flawless. It's a great saw, especially at this price point.
Here recently, I pulled that blade back off and gave it a good cleaning prior to starting the next phase of our house project. I've recently been doing window trim work primarily following the method used at Finish Carpentry TV (Richard)....all using this saw. So far, so good!!! Love this thing!!
Again, thanks!!!
Larry,
Thanks so much for leaving this awesome comment, myself and creators like Richard really appreciate the kind words and hearing your experiences!
I’m glad the review is helpful and I hope the saw and blade give you many more years and projects worth of work!
Best,
Vince
Put the blade in backwards to cut Vinyl siding
Not only is this a wonderful review, but you also showed how to adjust it and tune it up right out of the box. That's something no one else does! Thank you!
Upgraded from an old craftsman hand-me-down 10", to a Delta Cruzer 12". Love it.
Those Deltas are beautiful
I just got it for 230$ including tax. I’m quickly falling in love with Skil. Their 14amp router combo is the best value out there, hands down. It’s gone as low as 100. I’m using this saw primarily to break down lumber and will soon need it for a lot of quick cuts when I move into a new place/shop. As far as I can tell with the few test cuts, it’s dead on straight from the factory. Good job skil
Picked this saw up two weeks ago on Amazon for 250. Loving it so far!
I’m a believer. Own the miter saw, table saw and a few 12v cordless tools. The saws have been absolutely amazing. I been actually shocked with the cordless tools! If you a weekend warrior and want good tools at a good price, in my opinion SKIL is hard to beat.
Being new to the construction world you’re videos really help me in many things thank you very much
Had it for couple of months now and IT IS A GREAT SAW. Just a regular homeowner here
I just purchased the same saw, so far so good I am just a homeowner with small projects.
U know something vince....I believe you sir have improved your game when it comes to reviews!
Thanks for reviewing the Skil 10”. I’m a fan of Skil products. I inherited a table saw, it’s probably 30 yrs. old works great. I’m a DYI person. I appreciate you really doing such a thorough review. The light / shadow bothers me. I have a Skil circular saw, the laser is non existent in the sun. Sailboat rehab - that’s the sun issue. There was a mention in another comment about changing the blade…going to find one at the store for more investigation. Really appreciate all you great videos.
I've had my 10" Skil miter saw for a while now and I gotta say it is a real nice machine. I has all the major features and it does everything it's supposed to do. Stock blade is ok for a while but you'll need to replace it with a better one, but that's common.
I was on the fence ordering one today for my flooring job, you gave me the confidence to pull the trigger. Thanks for the review!
Glad I could help!
I got the Skil table saw on your recommendation and been very happy. Already have a newer miter saw so not in the market. Quite impressed with Chevron's changes to Skil.
Bought it a few months ago. Accurate out of the box, doesn’t feel cheap, shadow line is excellent and way better than a laser, clean cuts with stock blade, fairly light, smooth slide, easy to adjust mitre and bevel, and plenty of small features like decent markers etc. The only thing I don’t like is it has poor sawdust collection. Great buy for the money.
could you describe the bad dust collection more. is this just w the bag or do you have a more elaborate dust collection system set up? thanks
@@nige_man Just with the bag so can't expect all that much...
When I first got into woodworking, I bought a Skil table saw, band saw and bench sander. I still use these same ones 25 years later.
25 years ago that was a decent brand too haha.
@VCG Construction. Thanks Vince for the video intro of that Skil dual compound sliding miter saw. It's a great deal for the price and features. Yes, please make a video on how you make molding cuts on a miter saw. I'm always up for a good lesson.
Hope you, your crew, and your families stay safe and well.
Bought this same saw today for $249 with 11% off at Menards. $222 for a decent dual bevel sliding saw is a fantastic deal. Looks like it'll be great for residential use.
Just purchased this exact saw, it’s still in the box, thanks for demoing , would like to see more videos pertaining to this saw.
Hey Vince thanks for the video. Amazon has the saw at a 10 percent discount. Bought it yesterday.
I love these cuts of you talking while assembling things. Pure gold 🤣
I actually prefer the shadow over the laser line because regardless I always use my thumb to lift the guard a little bit bring the saw blade down to my pencil mark and then raise it back up about an inch or two and make my cut
Needing to replace my existing miter saw, watched a great many TH-cam videos on almst everything out there in today's market. Much appreciate your review, walk-through and explanations. Most impressed by how true the saw is and how easy it was to square up the blade to fence. Based on this review I've gone ahead with purchase from Amazon. Anxious for receipt. Thank you!
How do you like it so far? I’m Looking to purchase it
@@jeremiahguadan2624 Thanks for your follow-up and with much appreciation. Couldn't be happier!
Nice looking saw! Thanks for the review and showing the adjustments. I bought a delta 12” compound miter (non-slide) used on CL a few years back. Also came with a second 60 teetheses blade for $120. Guy barely used it. Been good for my needs!
I just brought mine today bro, thanks for the dope review showing the few adjustments that’s needed to be made and how to make them. I got it for $249 + tax!!
How are you liking it?
skil is my preferred brand but my next miter saw must have the rails forward of the fence, not behind the fence. as a DIYer my miter saw has a dedicated space in my garage and i dont have the real-estate for a miter saw with the rails behind the fence. The foot print of these types of saws is 8-10 inches deeper than the others.
Nice looking saw! I bought a Kobalt 10 inch slider last year for $219 and it does great. So I can tell you that you don't necessarily have to spend $600 to get a good saw.
Woodworking Beginner: Update.
This test is only if you want to saw with precision with a miter saw.(test is not intended for rough and hard work).
Tips and Test: Remember this test is only about torsion.
Very important if you would like to saw with precision. (avoid torsion as much as possible)!
Always choose a Miter saw with a handle positioned in a VERTICAL line above the saw blade.
Everything must be aligned, slide rails, handle, and saw blade,it is much better this way the blade will not tilt.
Because there is some torsion in the aluminum housing .
And choose an engine with softstart on it to prevent wear of the gear and worm shaft.
It is very important that everything is aligned.
Here are some examples to show how the handle must be positioned above the blade.
First option: handle vertical positioned in line above the saw blade.
Bosch gcm 800 sj / Bosch gcm 8 sjl / Evolution rage 3 / FESTOOL KS 60 / Bosch GCM 8 SDE / FESTOOL KS 60 E KAPEX / Metabo KGSV 72 Xact/ Bosch PCM 8 SD / Hitachi C10FSH / Evolution Fury3-S / Evolution R255SMS / Metabo HPT C10FSBS / Hitachi C10FSB / Hitachi C10FS.
Second optie: handle horizontal positioned in line above the saw blade / Evolution R185SMS / Evolution F255SMS / Evolution RAGE3R255 SMS3 / Ridgid MS255SR 10-inch
(This also is the case with the Miter saw without the slide rails).
(If you want). You can test it yourself at home if there is torsion in the aluminum housing.
Step-1. First you make a saw cut from +-5 mm deep in to a flat piece of wood about +- 20 mm thick to this with the normal handle positioned on the right side of the Miter saw (the wood it will remain in place until the test is completed).
Step-2. Then repeat this by pushing the saw blade down with your hand or finger on the aluminum protective cover were the saw blade is cased in. Just now only do this without the running engine.
Step-3. Now you can see if the saw blade will be positioned in or next to the saw cut. If the saw blade is (+- 0,2 / 0,5 mm) next to the saw cut then there is torsion in the aluminum housing.
(test is completed).
Step-4. Therefor it is much better to choose a Miter saw with the handle positioned VERTICAL in line above the saw blade.
The second option is the handle positioned HORIZONTAL in line above the saw blade.
Step-5. When you measure the vertical 90 degrees angle square (Digital Level Box) of you're sawblade don't forget that there is always some torsion in the aluminum housing.
Conclusion: how further away the handle is from the saw blade how more chance of torsion in the aluminum housing, you better not go for that. Remember this, the test is only about torsion and nothing else. (the choices are yours).
Also with a cheap slide miter saw it is still better the handgriff in line a above the saw blade than on the right side. Maybe they will make it someday then we have a winner...
Seems pretty good I have a worm drive skill table saw and I really like it . I like how you adjusted the stops not all saws are ready out of the box you need to check them , have a great day
It's on to the break of Dawn! great video!
Picked this up for $250 this week. Very happy to see you have it a positive review
where did you got it thanks
250 dollars, uk must be crazy, I searched it and it cost £750
@vcg I cut some Douglas fir today, cut like butter. Extremely happy with this saw.
Really liked this model and wanted to replace my old Craftman until I saw and bought Rigid 12" 70 degree miter with dual bevel which is a monster with lifetime warranty.
I was looking very closely at Ridgid/Delta 12" Miter saw, I mean, being able to make 70° angle cut without a jig.!? You can make some amazing "little trinkets."
Time is money right. And I'm looking to replace my current job with woodworking/Etsy store.
Nice saw
I use Makita and Metabo HPT saws. Although I could use a small 7 1/4" cordless saw. Electric is not always available and my generators make a bunch of noise.
Got the tack life double bevel 10 inch miter saw for 100 bucks with 3 blades included awsome deal.
I like the idea of a 10" saw cause my table saw is a 10" as well. Dont have to worry about buying different sizes.
Would love a review of the Skilsaw 12” after your year of using it. Thanks VCG!
How does this compare to the Bauer?
I'm in the market for a 10" cordless or corded miter saw for flooring, my 12" dual bevel DWE779 is a bit overkill.
Nothing like letting your customers know your a true professional with skills than the Skil double bevel. It’s says you have skil right on the side, so you must be good...😂
Why not look at a 7.5 instead of a 10? I run the Dewalt 780 and a Milwaukee 7.5 cordless on my jobs and it eats everything I feed it. Dewalt, Skil, Metabo and Kobalt also make them
Just ordered mine to finish up my hardwood stair project, will be here tomorrow. Great video, thanks again for the information and entertaining review.
LOL, Loved the saw at first but after about 20 cuts with it, something broke inside. Not sure what happened but the blade would not turn but the motor ran with noise. Pushed in the button to lock the blade (for changing) and released it, blade spun again until I turned it on with the motor. Sent it back trying to decide if I want another or a different brand.
Good morning Vince and the VCG gang
Definitely the most enjoyable detailed no bullshit content i have viewed so far ,keep it up buddy,all the way from Scotland 👍😎
I enjoyed your video. I bought one of these a couple of months ago. So far so good but I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't have any detents for bevels between 90 degrees and 45 degrees. Also, when I first took it out of the box I was impressed with the cam operated hold-down clamp for quick adjustments but two minor problems: I doesn't tighten as much as a screw down clamp and I wish it was tall enough to go over the top of the high extended fence. But other that than that I like it so far. UPDATE: another disappointment with this saw is that it doesn't have a 30 degree miter detent. I made a cut at 30 degrees but it wasn't accurate enough to make a hexagonal planter without trial and error, Another saw in this price range, Kobalt 10" has more detents. Still, overall I like the saw though there is room for improvement.
Thought Skil was trying to up grade their product line, but the Miter saw look very flimsy, HF looks more durable than Skil. Maybe good for framing carpenter. I like my Dewalt just wish Dewalt made a slider without tubes so I could put my table against the wall. Thanks for the review.
First comment I hope lol, just bought my battery powered Milwaukee and can’t wait to put it to use. Thanks for the reviews vcg
Thx for the review not too expensive 😊 Happy Sunday!
Keep up the good work Vince
Just picked one up and will be returning it. The outer supports are about 15-20thousands lower than the turn table (right support lower than the left). This is a big issue if you clamp on the supports (which is mostly the case) the work piece will be uphill towards the blade and not cut square no matter how square the blade is. I had this issue with a cheap "entry level" unit and swore i would never own one like it again, I didn't expect it on a $300 machine. I will keep looking...
Thank you for all the cool videos you and your team always do. I would like to see you do a blade change on that saw on that saw. I think Skil should not use a peel and stick bevel scale. It's just a matter of time before it starts to lift especially when exposes to high temperature.
Looking at one right now for $249. I think my decision is made! Thanks for the review!
I just had mine delivered today. setting it up tomorrow, and changing to a 60 tooth blade.
Yes would like to see crown molding cut flat
Very nice saw
Needing to adjust the stops is no big deal. All of the features on new saws at least need to be checked, anyways. Looks nice; I'm just curious how it will hold up over the long-term.
Def do make a video on the adjustments! it would be a solid complete guide on the great Skilsaw PRODUCT.
Thinking bout buying this or the bauer, entry level trim work. No need for a makita, bosch or dewalt
@VCGconstruction I’d appreciate a tutorial/in depth vid on this saw for sure!
Yes, I want, thanks for review! $250 Amazon March 2023.
Quick question, when you tested the miter and the bavel with cutting angles on the trim piece, were you holding it against a 90 degree protector?
The saw will cut a plane on the trim piece regardless of how wrong the miter or the bavel angle is, so if you just hold them together, the planes are going to match anyway. The real question would be whether they would match if held against a 90 degree protector or any corner that is 90 degree.
great point
just got table saw ,love it , guess i have to get it"s mate lol
That was good Vince Phillup’s
Like always good advice for us the DIY 👍🏽
Those are some serious safety glasses
Adjustable wrenches Vince 😳 wrenches of all tools
This is a great saw & the price was good too. Highly recommend!
I still think my HF Bauer 10" slider is a better saw, despite Skil being a more reputable brand. The Skil has the cheesy wire workpiece support wings, Bauer has sliding full supports. And it's only $219 full price. Love it.
I heard rigid came out with a new battery operated 7 1/4 inch miter saw that's really good but for a DIY 10 inch is more than enough than what they need
Just ordered one. Appreciate the review!
Just got the 12” skillsaw that you suggested during one of your live in Lowe’s a few weeks back.
Nice saw really nice saw
Please show how to cut crown moulding with this.
I am thinking about ordering one of these but I want to mount it up against a wall. I am trying to get an idea for how deep of a bench top its going to need. If anyone has done the same thing and knows, I would appreciate it! Or if anyone can just measure it to see what the distance is from the very back of the guide rails to the front foot of the saw... that is what I'm after. Looked all the manuals online and nothing has a decent dimensional drawing of it.
Just order mine I can't wait to see its performance.
Where did you get it from ?
Would this SKIL saw work with multimaterial blade ?
It looks fantastic and can’t decide between this and Evolution miter saw.
I've been wanting to get a Makita this could be a good alternative if the price is right
I want a makita also but the price is not right on the makita saws $$$
I like it already!!!
Would you choose this over a 10” Dewalt DWS 713 non slider?
Iv just ordered 1 of these now
Nice video. I’m looking to buy a 10 inch miter saw soon.
We’ll put this material clamp off to the side for now (meaning forever)
What’s the best saw and what blade foe metal
What can I do to get more accurate cuts since the shadow line is not so precise?
Use a tape measure? Rest the (still) blade against the workpiece and measure away. Or make a slight nick and measure to there.
I personally prefer the Delta Cruzer for the small footprint it has and the amazing precision
Sure, for double the price!
I do want to learn how you cut crown molding Vince!
Could have sworn you were saying murder saw at first. Lol
I would like the see the crown molding cut on the flat
Just bought for $217 shipped on amazon
Having used this saw for 3 months doing trim carpentry. It is NOT accurate lots of play in the rails and the table moves independent of the fence. I have tightened it and adjusted it but there is no adjustment for the rails.the best part is the led light.
So was it accurate when it was new and something happened to make it not accurate? I ask because the one being tested in this video was spot on.
My next purchase for sure
Just picked up a used one for $100 I can't really complain
where? that is a heck of a deal!
Does this have a depth stop?
Yes it does, you can gut grooves with it too.
Is this the same as the Stanley? Seems like same manufacturing
@vcgconstruction Do you think an extra $125 is worth it for the extra quality/durability/capacity of the Dewalt DWS779? Or save the $125 and go with this Skil10" slider? Love your channel by the way!
DeWalt stopped making a 10" duel-bevel compound miter saw. In fact the Skil might be the only one left to have these feature in a 10" model. Is'a nice tool.
your first mistake is saying "extra quality/durability/capacity". that's just not correct anymore. unfortunately dewalt is going the way of stanley and mastercraft. I will tell you this saw is the corded version of a Milwaukee 10". Same engineering, same machining as the new milwaukee cordless line. I was able to remove the rail slide lock-knob from my $550 cordless milwaukee and use it on the rail slider lock-knob of the skil. if the parts are interchangeable with another brand, you know they were cut from the same cloth. If you were standing at the factory and saw this in production you would be amazed to see how it is one isle away from the top tier brands. In fact, I would put money on the dewalt tools being made at the cheaper factory down the road. They went with top-knotch on this specific tool, cant speak for their other products.
Might have to go to Lowell’s upgrade my old craftsman
Go Vince!
I'm looking to buy a mighter saw I saw this skil one and a ridgit 15 Amp 10 in. Dual Bevel Miter Saw with LED Cut Line Indicator. I don't know which one is better ridgid is cheaper than the skil.
how does this compare to the ridgid miter saws
I’m looking to purchase my first miter saw for crown molding and board & batten, looking at 10” skil for $200 or $500 10” Milwaukee m18…note I’m in the Milwaukee platform.
Does any manufacturer make a portable compound miter saw with a fine tuning knob for your angles
What can you say about the 7 1/4 mitre saw
