Subtotal (1 item) $269.10 Savings ($35.89) Delivery $0.00 Total Tax $22.20 Total $291.30 At Lowes with my Veteran's discount. I just ordered it! Will be delivered Friday.
Because my window frames needed replacing, I had the choice of ordering new window frames from the manufacturer or making them myself. After receiving the manufacturer's quote, I decided to make them myself. After studying several YT videos, I finally decided to purchase this table saw. The saw is very pleasant to work with and works quite accurately. Only the conductor has, in my opinion, a little too much tolerance. What particularly surprised me is that the saw cuts through a hardwood beam of 90 mm thickness without any problems. I also like that the saw is lightweight. I did have to make an extra table because the surface of the top is on the small side. Also the dust collection is pretty good but not excellent. It took me a Lott of effort to buy one. Everywhere it was sold out. Just one shop had 3 of them in stock.
This is the saw I bought. I’ve had it for about 6 months and I use the piss out of it. I absolutely love it and everything was perfectly tuned in right out of the box! There are a few more features that you didn’t go over as far as dialing in your saw and this is the EASIEST table saw to make adjustments on. Great review
I wanted to thank you for good honest review on this SKIL TS6307 table saw. I'm shopping for a Job Site Table Saw, and I've been unable to find better option than this very saw. I was looking for a review by someone who's owned this saw for a couple years. Thankfully, your channel came up in the top 5 of the approximations of my search. I'm new subscriber now. Thankful to have found your channel. Thanks again for giving details that weren't covered in the saw's description. I love the option of the dado stack, the ability to cut/rip a 4x4, in single pass. I'm more likely to build a out-feed/work table that this saw sets inside. But still have the option of taking the saw out for those occasions I need it out for whatever. Great Video Brother. Thanks.
Just bought it, and I absolutely love it! My only ONE complaint is the hieght. I'm 6.2" and this table is kind of short. I do have to bend to make my cuts. If I could change one thing about this, it would be the legs. Too bad they are not telescoping. That would have been perfect. Otherwise, I'm very happy with this purchase. Oh and I paid $269 at Menards and got the 11% rebate! 😊
Just got mine today! The new version has updates on this skilsaw. The insert plate is now metal instead of plastic 👍. The knife guide is removable with the updated version so when using dado blades. It’s not there blocking users from doing wide boards 😊
I sold my Delta cabinet saw last month. I wanted a little portable saw for honey do’s. I bought this saw because it allows me to make adjustments to align the blade. Others don’t offer this feature. Great saw for the money.
Great well covered demo. I've had this saw for about 7 months and it's definitely worth the money. Did change blade to a 50 tooth combination blade and bought a zero clearance insert (35.00 at Etsy). Both are great additions. Ideas for future videos...routing (I have Makita trim router) for novices and how to use this table saw for 45 degree miters. So much to learn....
Just something real quick about the blade height. 3 1/2 inches may seem arbitrary for people that are cutting 4 x 4‘s or stacks of two by fours, but when you consider adding a cross cut sled almost always eliminate at least a three-quarter inch portion of the blade, that reduces this saw to 2 3/4” where a different saw would be around (2 3/8?) usable inside your crosscut sled. If you have multiple smaller pieces, this could be the difference between cutting multiple at once, or having to match up and sand fine imperfections later.
I have the same saw. It works great, and easily portable. The blade that comes with the saw is junk for sure....even a Bauer 40 tooth blade from Harbor Freight is an upgrade LOL. Eventually I'll put a Diablo blade on it though. I also have the Skil SPT99-11 which is a 10" table saw but with a mobile stand and is worm drive. More expensive, but you get a lot more torque for the tougher jobs. Even the saw in the video has tons of power. I can't remember what the model number was of the previous version of the saw shown in the video, but it had a removable stand that folded up, better stand idea, but man the motor on that saw started hard, it would kick on with a very loud bang at startup....the TS6307-00 (saw in the video) is a nice motor upgrade with a much smoother startup. The rack and pinion fence setup makes adjustments smooth and the fence locks in very firmly.
This actually awnsered alot of questions for me about this saw. Specially cool to see you actually used it for so long. Over here its still good priced but they upped the price last year. (320 euro now) And i hope i can use a dado on it now that there is a legal dado in europe. Thanks!
TY brother. First timer getting into more woodworking. Have more time now getting older. Like the drop down support on fence and capability of ripping full 48” and height for 2x4 really sold me. I don’t see others like that. Gonna get one tomorrow. Rite on!
Mine was just delivered and I have to say all the calibration checks were 100% on point. Ripped a few pieces of Oak to how the 24T blade performed and it was super easy. This is a really great saw, Walmart delivered it to me in 2 days from the day I ordered it. Skil deserves a fair shake here, they have done a super job with this tablesaw.
Helpful video thanks. Sounds like a great value for an average homeowner. I see they are 'out of stock' at lowes even though it's 'on sale' .....so will look around and see when where it may be sold now.
I have used table saws a lot in the past and miss not having one, so I one being delivered tomorrow. My only questions are is the arbor 5/8” and how is the miter. Gauge?
@@PolinS76 I bought it at my local hardware store for € 255 in Latvia. As I don't know your location, I can only recommend to search for this saw European variant (euro plug and mm ruler) Skil 1340 AA.
@@zigmundslv Okay thanks. I didn't know that the European version was 1340AA. I was actually searching in Europe with the American version name. Pretty dumb I guess lol. Now I found it with ease. I don't actually live in Europe, but I spend about 6-7 months a year in Europe while working at sea. All the time in different countries. I just located the tablesaw in Sweden at about €284. Next time in Sweden I'll definitely pick it up. Thanks again for the help.
@@zigmundslvthanks for confirming the 1340 is the same model. Might be cheaper for me to fly to Latvia and pick one up than buy one where I am, 412€ here in Greece!
I see you were using a plastic table as your outfeed; does this saw line up with the standard height of those plastic tables or is that way you have the piece of wood on it?
I have a table saw just like yours although I haven't put it to work yet, have you made any modifications to it? It caught my attention to install a soft start module, do you think it was necessary?
I believe you would leave legs on, just folded. And it comes with 4 "corner feet" that fit around the legs and give it a stable way to sit on or IN a workbench
Why are so many people hyping this saw up? Its horrible! The Hetcules at Harbor Freight is a better saw. Look at the parts in the Skil ... the motor gearing has plastic gdars that do not hold up well. Skil hasnt made anything decent in decades.
