I've been wanting something a bit more robust than my tiny dewalt saw, and have been considering it's larger dewalt brother, but after seeing reviews on the Skil, that might be the best middle ground, especially since it's the same price as the old dewalt i bought several years back.
Lets see them run some 1 1/2" hard maple through that dewalt. I agree with the rolling stand. It can roll over anything, even up stairs, and the ease of loading it in the back of a truck is worth it.
@@chipperkeithmgb, I thought it took a 5/8" dado, but I'm not certain. I'm glad you posted your comment. I think it's the best saw, personally. Just my opinion.
We (I) chose the Milwaukee cordless table saw because of its versatility and being cordless we can use it anywhere. We do complete home remodels and restoration where electrical power is rarely available. There is a collection of cordless brands in our tool collection including Dewalt, Metabo, Ryobi and Rigid. Each one serves a function and our experience has narrowed these down the the performance we need on a jobsite. I will say we run three crews and they beat tools to death - they don't buy them - and of the ones I mentioned will take abuse not one of them will burn out any faster than the other.
@@Protoolreviews You failed to mention that it has an adjustable leg for stability on uneven surfaces. Kind of a big miss considering you used it as an example of instability.
@@Protoolreviews I did see that part which is why I was confused as to why you then used it as an example of instability? Does that even compute? It certainly gave the wrong impression to the viewer or at least a confusing impression on one hand it's remarkably stable but here look at it in use it's completely unstable? Do you see why that might have been a bad idea? I'm not trying to argue with you here, I'm just trying to point out that that was either a bad choice OR it was (what I believed) you were unaware of the ability to adjust the legs and it was simply an innocent mistake. Either way it was something that deserved correction was my point overall. Thanks for the reply!
@=^Genesis^= this review is obviously biased, what he might as well say is that a DIY saw as they call it (what makes it a pro, or diy, or hobbyist) couldn't be allowed to beat one of the big three. Especially not at the lowest price and the exact same features, some of which exceeded the number 1 pick. There is so much snobbery and elitism in tool reviews that they are virtually worthless at this point.
I got the skil literally 1 year ago. The top has been easily dented causing massive issues. And the plastic gears have broken. It seemed awesome when I got it. But daily use after just 1 year and it's broken beyond repair.
For a portable tool review/comparison I wish you'd have included folded size and weight. It would give some indication of ease of loading/unloading into/from a vehicle.
The small Skil table saw has an adjustable leg to stabilize it on uneven surfaces, you used it as an example of an unstable stand but failed to state this, not a very accurate representation overall. You really should correct this considering the value for the price.
Well said, I purchased mine a few months ago and it competes with saws twice the size and more importantly price. Extremely underrated and is dead accurate when adjusted properly as with any good tablesaw.
I've only used the Dewalt and Skil saws. And the only drawback to the Skil is the lack of wheels on the base. Otherwise, for 350 dollars, it's hard to beat.
@@launchpadmcquack2386 And with that lacking, in wondering if I can somehow affix a pair of wheels and handle to it myself too complete the perfect affordable package. Here's to hoping Skil does it with the next version.
@@launchpadmcquack2386 In my case after a couple back surgeries and a fused spine whenever I can avoid lugging odd shaped things around the better off I am.
The Metabo HPT has been a workhorse both in shop and jobsite Due to using one of our table saws with our off grid sawmill we needed the largest table and blade thus we chose the Metabo HPT and have been very pleased with both of our Multivolt saws We also use the AC adapter whenever we have access to power and need longer run time which all of these table saws eat batteries This helps save longevity on the batteries and we don't need so many for our other high run tools like the SDS Max rotary hammer, vacuum,mitre saw, grinder, router etc
Out of all the saw I tested the skill was the most s on solidly built overall best built. It needed some minor adjustments to be perfectly true to the table. The DeWalt was better calibrated out box but cutting performance was meh. Overall the Bosch was the most disappointing. (Didn't live up to the hype). I've had the skill for 4 years zero regret.
The Skilsaws 10” table saw is the one to get. Mine was nearly trued from the factory. Only had to adjust the rip fence rotating feature and make sure everything else was square. Everything else was square and ready to go.
i have the milwaukee and just purchased the dewalt, never thought i’d be so thankful to be able to plug in a tool but yeah... love the dewalt. & the mobile stand is a a big plus.
I've had the Dewalt for a few years now and have been pretty happy with it. Without going up to a Sawstop in price or some other more premium brand I think it is about as good as it gets for jobsite saws.
I have the skilsaw, love the wheels and dust collection. But I rarely break it out anymore since my main job site saw is the Dewalt flexvolt. little thing is heavy but absolutely amazing. I run a regular 7-1/4" 24 tooth carbide faming blade on it and one 9ah batt will go for a couple days. never having to plug in a table saw....? WORTH IT!
@@bearlemke That 60v is hands down the best cordless table saw I've ever used, with best battery life, but I just can't go buying into yet another battery line.
DO NOT BUY RIGID TABLE SAWS. I can speak from experience, they are horrible. Cheapest build on the market. I don't know what they were thinking. All the other stuff is fine. I like Rigid. Except for their table saws. Even Ryobi is better.
I have the Bosch (and older model) and recently bought the Bosch 18v cordless. I was shocked at how well it worked and how much power it had! It also has the rack & pinion fence and an 8-1/4 inch blade. Cuts extremely smoothly and is very stable.
Same here, got the Skil for $289 tax included at Menards about 10 months ago. I've used it for several projects and it's fantastic, cant beat it for the price.
Yo I've said this before you guys really drove my decision to choose SKIL no matter what my hater ass boss was telling me. I've been all over putting all my pwr core 20 tools to work. And I mean work
I own a Makita Portable with stand and am curious why it wasnt on here. Mine's wonderful, with a 15 amp motor that I use in the shop and on site. It cuts hardwood etc no problems. Folds up tiny, has several height settings etc.. and at the time was a great priice point...
@@TheRaven078 there is a european version of a makita table saw that has a side sliding table.. i want it soo badly! lol but its $1400 plus tax.. because of how old and rare it is..
Very good, concise review, as it happens, I have the DeWalt model, one of the best features of that saw, is it’s Rock steady stand with back angled legs that make it super stable when ripping sheet goods , a must feature for a contractor
I made the assumption the winner would be the DeWalt before I watched the video. I think I would have gone for the Skil Worm. I have NO interset in battery powered saws.
Because he had that part of the script on the back of the page and forgot to flip it over. By the time it went through editing, he caught it but thought it wasn’t worth mentioning as someone would make a comment about it.
I have both Dewalt (with stand) and Metabo (Corded with stand), there no difference whatsoever in performance and functionalities between both except Metabo use some plastic parts instead of metal for Dewalt. Looks like both saw made by the same manufacturer as you can easily swap the plastic parts on the Metabo with a metal part from Dewalt. I got the Dewalt for ~$600 and Metabo for $350 (on sale from Lowes Thanksgiving last year). I wouldn't say Dewalt is my 1st choice as Metabo is a perfect clone of Dewalt but for $200 less
I've been using my Kobalt for about 3 years now. Wish it had a rack&pinion fence but, I bought it new with a 5 year warranty for $229 and it does just fine.
I have the M18, and a couple negatives about it are the tables warp and dust collection clogs up easily. That said, if it got stolen I'd buy it again. Side note: you rank blade speed by RPM, but really Milwaukee's high RPM doesn't give it's smaller 8-1/4" blade faster blade speed at the teeth.
Thank you for the tremendously impactful video! I think that all brands should be offering a battery/plug combo, as having this option really expands functionality big-time Curious why Makita table saw was not included in this contest It would have been nice to take decibel noise ratings from each one to compare since this is important for those working around but not wearing ear protection
I'm just starting out and have very little room so a Job Site Table saw was my bet option... Price and features was a big part as well. After doing a bunch of research... I picked up a Skil Table Saw for $250... Cant beat it when it has many features, like the worm gear for half the price. plus the Legs are solid and easily fold up... and it weighs 50 pounds...I can throw it on a shelf up high and get it out of my way when I don't need it... These reviews always confuse me because every persons application is different... they all seems to have good features and have their own place... If you have a wood working profession and want to invest in a Dewalt or Milwaukee... that's your prerogative... Skil all the way for me.
As an experienced woodworker the danger of a rack and pinion fence when rip cutting solid timber is it produces greater risk of kick back due to the material nipping up behind the blade. While it's fine for sheet materials. When rip cutting solid timber the fence should only be just past the cutting point of the blade before the spindle. This reduces any risk of nipping up. Once the blade has made its cut the fence serves no more purpose for ripping beyond that point the wood being allowed to move behind the blade. In case of a rack and pinion full length fence I would recommend a secondary shorter fence clamped to it. On my saw I can slide the fence forward and back to allow for sheet cuts or rip.
Glad to see this video as I am think about buying a new (more up to date) table saw. Dewalt seems to have it all. Unless I missed it it is not cordless? Cordless is what I do like, as not every project site has power that isn't 100-200 feet from my work area. Yes I know just drop a cord, but at 100 ft it has to be a 12Gag or lower to handle the draw.
My experience with Dewalt saws has been that the motor keeps on running after years of use, but the gears on the fence start skipping and fence goes out of square. This happened to 3 saws over time, maybe there has been improvements made? I ended up buying a Bosch when it came out and it stopped working after a year. A friend checked out the electronics and ended up taking out delay start and reset safety which had fried undersize wires. This was almost 10 years ago and the saw is still working.
STANLEY Table Saw SST1801 Thank you for making valuable improvements to the ver. 2 still need to work more on the details of the angle or the black cover that is slightly sunken, I understand that it is a cheap saw but that does not mean that it does not go through quality control. It's been years since the price of saws has skyrocketed unjustifiably in brands like Bosh, Makita models like Bosch GTS 254 or Makita 2703 are very similar to Stanley but cost a little more than double. If a brand manufactures it in plastic another in aluminum or steel, puts more powerful motors, better guarantees, it is justified that they charge you more for a product but it is not the case, we must not lose sight of the fact that a comparable handsaw costs in average uses $120 on a bench saw the main difference is the table has no reason to cost uses $700 to 1500.
I have plenty of Dewalt tools, but I'm not sure objectively how he can say that it beats out the Skil. The price and options just make it the obvious choice here.
Saw stop is coming out with a job site saw this fall. I’d love to see that reviewed once it’s out. I also wonder where the porter cable table saw would go in this line up.
As a remodel contractor, I've enjoy my Bosch, ryobi is a decent pick for the occasional diy on a budget, I enjoy the rack and pinion fence for some applications with the Dewalt but I need the traditional fence for a lot of my projects. I have not used it yet but it looks like a saw stop will be a similar style to the Bosch
I think I have 4 older dewalts. One on wheels, one on a stand, another in a table, and one for parts. These saws are abused, taken to job sites and some are over 20 years old. I'm not brand loyal but DeWalt makes an excellent table saw
looks like the Ridgid is the best overall the two most important are price and cutting depth at 90 . you need a high blade for fine trim with less bur and a portable saw is for repair not for shop
I've got the smaller 10" dewalt. It does 99% of what I need. Can rip big sheets or 2x material with ease. Best to have a helper or an outfeed roller if you're doing a 4x8 sheet by yourself.
Hi Expert wood workers. Can someone suggest a small table saw that is quiet enough to run in a condo, I'm just trying to cut small kumiko wood strips lol. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
So you choose the Dewalt because of the Price & Rolling Stand ? ? ? Yet . . . you reviewed the Table Top version without the Rolling Stand ? ? ? But the Rolling Stand would cost more ? ? ? . . . ? ? ? Thank You for your completely UNBIASED review ! ! !
No surprise there. It's always top. Lousy sanders, drills not great, but that saw... just upgrade the mitre fence and have some 19mm plywood ready for when you want a dead flat table - the 10" blade still gives you plenty of depth
Project Farm always asks for ideas for tool reviews in his comments section. One guess what I asked him to review.... He deleted my comment. Thank you for tackling the tool review topic PF was too scared to take on.
@@DemeterCirce Been subscribed to him for years. Never once linked it in any of the videos I've watched. Namely all of them. Plus, new models do come out. Instead of simply deleting my comment that was filled with no personal insults, no racism, no lewdness, nothing that would cause any other content creator to delete a comment; he could have simply said "No need." And then linked the video you mentioned. It's not that hard. Plus, goes to show the real Todd, versus his Project Farm friendly persona that he adopts when uploading content. Hey, I get it; my channel is microscopic compared to Todd's. But the only time I've ever deleted someone's comment is when they resorted to one of three mentioned above. Also, when I reply to someone who took the time to leave a comment on my channel, they get a legit reply. Not a robotic, "Thanks for your input." Which Todd leaves all the time, for everyone who comments. So yeah, I lost some respect for him. Enough to unsub.
i think it's discontinued. from what i remember, the price was too high compared to the rest. i love makita, but i remember that saw being too much money for no reason
We chose to include what we believe to be the overall best from each brand, and the DWE7491 beat that one out. You can find more information on the Flexvolt table saw here: www.protoolreviews.com/dewalt-flexvolt-table-saw-review/
Hi folks. I have the hikoki/metabo saw. Of course it eats batteries, but otherwise very happy with it. Was thinking of getting the mains adapter for it, just to save batteries when power is available. However, have heard some very bad stuff about the dewalt version, especially when used with their mitre saws, so a bit worried if it could also be a problem with hikoki. Don’t want to risk burning out the saw.. dunno if it’s a factor, but I’m in Ireland, so we are on 220v power, with a transformer to get us down to 110v. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance 🙏
I purchased a small portable Benchtop Drill Press (made in China of course). I have to use a transformer to boost the voltage from 110 Volts to 220 Volts AC. Other than that it works perfectly.
A dado is a specialty saw blade that's wide. It removes more wood (a lot) per cut. It allows the saw to function sort of like a router or "power chisel" for the bargain hassle-price of changing the blade (twice). A thin dado max width means feeding the material through the saw repeatedly. Which undermines the point. However, note that one comment on this video says the review is wrong about the dado width limit.
Idk what this review does besides reading spec sheets. Would be nice to compare prices and put the tables through the same tests, see what comes out best
The Skil brand saw seems like a great deal, considering it was in the middle of most of the charts, yet is the cheapest by a good bit.
I've been wanting something a bit more robust than my tiny dewalt saw, and have been considering it's larger dewalt brother, but after seeing reviews on the Skil, that might be the best middle ground, especially since it's the same price as the old dewalt i bought several years back.
I bought it for $269 tax included as a father's day gift to myself. In my opinion it should be the number one table saw of 2022. The Skil saw.
It's awesome. It was a little hard to find when i went to buy one. But after 2 years I don't regret it at all.

Cordless is what I do like, as not every project site has power that isn't 100-200 feet from my work area. Yes I know just drop a cord, but at 100 ft it has to be a 12Gag or lower to handle the draw.
Dewalt has 54V brushless that I love to use because it is silent, I use it for a long time when I use it.
My experience with Dewalt saws has been that the motor keeps on running after years of use, but the gears on the fence start skipping and fence goes out of square. This happened to 3 saws over time, maybe there has been improvements made?
I ended up buying a Bosch when it came out and it stopped working after a year. A friend checked out the electronics and ended up taking out delay start and reset safety which had fried undersize wires. This was almost 10 years ago and the saw is still working.
STANLEY Table Saw SST1801 Thank you for making valuable improvements to the ver. 2 still need to work more on the details of the angle or the black cover that is slightly sunken, I understand that it is a cheap saw but that does not mean that it does not go through quality control. It's been years since the price of saws has skyrocketed unjustifiably in brands like Bosh, Makita models like Bosch GTS 254 or Makita 2703 are very similar to Stanley but cost a little more than double. If a brand manufactures it in plastic another in aluminum or steel, puts more powerful motors, better guarantees, it is justified that they charge you more for a product but it is not the case, we must not lose sight of the fact that a comparable handsaw costs in average uses $120 on a bench saw the main difference is the table has no reason to cost uses $700 to 1500.
The Skilsaw has a Dado capacity up to 13/16 inches. Why do you list it only up to 1/2 inch?
I have plenty of Dewalt tools, but I'm not sure objectively how he can say that it beats out the Skil. The price and options just make it the obvious choice here.
Which ones have the lowest noise?
The depth adjustment strips out I've had to replace it twice. The first time it was in there shop for six months (Ryobi)
I have the Dewalt Saw with German 54 V Accusystem. For my Opinion the Best of all them
why didn't put the Sawstop jobsite table saw in the mix?
Thank all you guys straight up
Saw stop is coming out with a job site saw this fall. I’d love to see that reviewed once it’s out.
I also wonder where the porter cable table saw would go in this line up.
Hikoki Metabi HBT rocks!
Just funny that he stood behind the Milwaukee as he endorsed the DeWalt 😁
Never thought I'd say this but I think I like the Bosch the least and the Metabo HPT the most. Skil is up there too.
Where are the festool and mafell erica85?
They are the best in the market
very good video
As a remodel contractor, I've enjoy my Bosch, ryobi is a decent pick for the occasional diy on a budget, I enjoy the rack and pinion fence for some applications with the Dewalt but I need the traditional fence for a lot of my projects. I have not used it yet but it looks like a saw stop will be a similar style to the Bosch
I'm a TH-cam neurosurgeon
Ryobi is trash. I have it and the fence is terrible.
Very powerful for size
i have been thru a lot of portable saws. i am torn between the skill and dewalt. leaning towards dewalt. thanks
HF is the best for the price and warranty
Playing Devil's advocate. What's wrong? Afraid of the Sawstop Jobsite Pro? Just curious why it wasn't included.
I think I have 4 older dewalts. One on wheels, one on a stand, another in a table, and one for parts. These saws are abused, taken to job sites and some are over 20 years old. I'm not brand loyal but DeWalt makes an excellent table saw
You got that right! Thanks for watching!
If somebody made high quality replacement table top for the most common jobsite table saws they would sell like crazy.
I'm shopping for a new table saw.. According to your stats, the Rigid was hands down the best pick.. obviously, this was promoted by dewalt lol
Would have liked to see where the others ranked.
I didn't know Steve Vai was in this business! 🎸
looks like the Ridgid is the best overall the two most important are price and cutting depth at 90 . you need a high blade for fine trim with less bur and a portable saw is for repair not for shop
I just got the Rigid as I am a Rigid fan. I will give an update after a couple of jobs.
I've got the smaller 10" dewalt. It does 99% of what I need. Can rip big sheets or 2x material with ease.
Best to have a helper or an outfeed roller if you're doing a 4x8 sheet by yourself.
Makita Dewalt is still a great tool for kids or beginners who want more than Black /Deker
Hi Expert wood workers. Can someone suggest a small table saw that is quiet enough to run in a condo, I'm just trying to cut small kumiko wood strips lol. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
So you choose the Dewalt because of the Price & Rolling Stand ? ? ? Yet . . . you reviewed the Table Top version without the Rolling Stand ? ? ? But the Rolling Stand would cost more ? ? ? . . . ? ? ? Thank You for your completely UNBIASED review ! ! !
The best table saw is the Canada made General. Cant be beat!
No surprise there. It's always top. Lousy sanders, drills not great, but that saw... just upgrade the mitre fence and have some 19mm plywood ready for when you want a dead flat table - the 10" blade still gives you plenty of depth
Project Farm always asks for ideas for tool reviews in his comments section.
One guess what I asked him to review.... He deleted my comment.
Thank you for tackling the tool review topic PF was too scared to take on.
He deleted your comment because PF already linked (many times over) Pro Tool Reviews' 'Best Table Saw?...' video. PF clearly trusts PFT's review.
@@DemeterCirce
Been subscribed to him for years. Never once linked it in any of the videos I've watched. Namely all of them. Plus, new models do come out. Instead of simply deleting my comment that was filled with no personal insults, no racism, no lewdness, nothing that would cause any other content creator to delete a comment; he could have simply said "No need." And then linked the video you mentioned.
It's not that hard. Plus, goes to show the real Todd, versus his Project Farm friendly persona that he adopts when uploading content. Hey, I get it; my channel is microscopic compared to Todd's. But the only time I've ever deleted someone's comment is when they resorted to one of three mentioned above. Also, when I reply to someone who took the time to leave a comment on my channel, they get a legit reply. Not a robotic, "Thanks for your input." Which Todd leaves all the time, for everyone who comments. So yeah, I lost some respect for him. Enough to unsub.
2:47 that aint a HP battery
Also does makita not have a jobsite saw available in the US?
i think it's discontinued. from what i remember, the price was too high compared to the rest. i love makita, but i remember that saw being too much money for no reason
I heard Makita was the greatest but pricey
@@vincentlenci makita table saw is rubbish
Dewalt jacked up their price
Not adding the sawstop job site saw in the mix? Why not?
Milwaukee Needs to Make a Gen 2 with Hybrid capabilities. Run corded or off Battery would be a game changer
Dewalt has a cordless version on the flexvolt platform. Why was it not tested?
We chose to include what we believe to be the overall best from each brand, and the DWE7491 beat that one out. You can find more information on the Flexvolt table saw here: www.protoolreviews.com/dewalt-flexvolt-table-saw-review/
whats the main difference between a 8.25" and 10" blade? I mainly want clean rips with minimal tearout
I have dewaltl and skillsaw set 99, I can rip it 2x4 on skillsaw thru, way more power and large cutting, the stand is way better.
Does the dewalt have a different model number in the UK?
How does Dewalt's rack & pinion compare to all the other competitors who also have rack & pinion
Kobalt? Makita? Hercules? Missing some important names here.
Where is DELTA? I have heard tell their contractor saw is top notch.
Hi folks. I have the hikoki/metabo saw. Of course it eats batteries, but otherwise very happy with it. Was thinking of getting the mains adapter for it, just to save batteries when power is available. However, have heard some very bad stuff about the dewalt version, especially when used with their mitre saws, so a bit worried if it could also be a problem with hikoki. Don’t want to risk burning out the saw.. dunno if it’s a factor, but I’m in Ireland, so we are on 220v power, with a transformer to get us down to 110v. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance 🙏
I purchased a small portable Benchtop Drill Press (made in China of course). I have to use a transformer to boost the voltage from 110 Volts to 220 Volts AC. Other than that it works perfectly.
I think a cordless model only review would be a nice follow up.
Video is informative. But the background music is very distracting as I tried to read the results.
HF's Hercules is a great saw too, but its price is climbing to that of the "pro" brands. Quality is about equal though.
I was looking at that one until I watched a few vids pointing out its flaws.
Superb review. Thank you.
I very much regret purchasing the Ryobi. The quality left so much to be desired that I can't possibly recommend it to anyone.
Rookie here. Would anyone be able to explain what dado capacity is and why what matters?
A dado is a specialty saw blade that's wide. It removes more wood (a lot) per cut. It allows the saw to function sort of like a router or "power chisel" for the bargain hassle-price of changing the blade (twice).
A thin dado max width means feeding the material through the saw repeatedly. Which undermines the point.
However, note that one comment on this video says the review is wrong about the dado width limit.
A Sawstop saw is really the best saw...
Why didn't you put the cheap option harbor freight in ur test
What's about Makita?
What about metabo? It’s looks impressive
Idk what this review does besides reading spec sheets. Would be nice to compare prices and put the tables through the same tests, see what comes out best
