Is Skil's New Circular Saw Good?? || PWRCORE XP 20V 

oh dude, that was a good 2X12, with the extortion prices of lumber now days i would rather have the wood plank then the saw..........

I only have one of Skil's new generation tools but, I agree, they are back in the game.

Nice! its an upgrade version of what i was thinking to buy.

Thank you for this video it has helped...

If it’s anything like the rear handle as far as the cutting performance it’s a winner. I forced myself to learn to cut right handed because I prefer the rear handle style but a blade right sidewinder always feels more natural since I’m left handed. I utilize both though. A good looking saw man. 👌

I am a right handed carpenter and I prefer blade right saws for many reasons so this interests me .

I'm all into skil tools all the power at half the price.

My dad's Skil saw from the 50s still works. After he used it for 30 years as a contractor Mine from the '90s was a piece of crap within the first year. Anything plastic was crap. Sorry, won't even look at them now

It drives me crazy how people keep making review videos referring to Sidewinder "right blade" saws being made for left handed people. Note the beginning of this video, and which hand he is using to operate the saw (not the left hand). Right blade saws keep the dust off of your body, and the dust goes straight to the ground, instead of directly in your face. You can watch videos of right blade saws, and watch as the dust sprays straight down to the ground, away from your body (this video, the vacuum is probably clogged due to not having a "cyclone" dust separator pre-filter). Worm drive, left bladed saws are a left hand saw, because if you use them with your right hand (as 90% of people do) all of the dust blows back straight into your eyes, and many of the worm drive saws don't even a dust ejection port. You use a right blade saw, to keep the blade away from you, to expel the dust away from you.

It finally showed up on Amazon for 164. I held off buying the 2×20v rear handle In hopes that this is the one that would better suit me. My step son just got the big boy and it is a beast but for my needs it is more than what I will use. I have the Skil sidewinder and i have cut thousands of board feet but I'm looking for a battery powered unit. I was praying for a left blade unit but unfortunately I am left looking over my saw, again. How is the balance ? How did it feel when cutting? How did you feel after all that cutting? For Semi retired remodeling that is just looking for a main battle saw what do you think? I have Milwaukee, Dewalt and a few newer Skil tools and I am very happy. Many years ago I had a Skil wormgear that ruled the job site, still have it but after 30 plus years it is also about ready for the rocking chair. The sidewinder is a beast also but corded.. That is my main reason for looking at Skil, they have made me money and always performed. Thanks for the video brother.

Do you have any long term updates about the Skil battery packs? I am nervous because the cost is so low, that the batteries might not have a very good service life. I had a horrible experience with Ryobi, where the batteries seemed to be used batteries. I purchased a new Ryobi saw, and the battery started to die almost a few months after owning the tool.

Hey Mike did you get the pictures of the delta table saw extension wings we talked about I sent them to your email I had to go back to your garage door video to get the email where we talked just curious if you want to to do a video your more than welcome😀 again another great video my friend from Florida best wishes as always!

Mike, another great demo! Hey, I hope you get many views as that must be $75 worth of 1x you used for demonstration. I had a skil first generation battery powered circ saw (I was repairing the coop). It wouldn't get through the rough sawn 1x pine I was using. That was a couple of years ago. This looks better. I may give it another shot. How much did you say it was going for?

any news regarding the saw track ? I saw on some website a track but it was plastic... and had really bad reviews :)

You mentioned the rail slot does Skil make an aluminum track saw like guide for it?

So about the grooves to fit a track?? Are they releasing a kit to go with it for a track saw??

Nice skil

The reason why the dust port is not working as intended has a lot to do with the shape of circular saw which houses the blade. Don’t mind if I asked before, is this saw compatible with what guide?

You mentioned that the Skil and Milwaukee saws are intended for different markets. Could you please expand on that?

Skil makes a good Skilsaw 😎

I picked up this saw and noticed that there was oil coming out of the base of the motor area. Is this normal?

no surprise there, skil know how to build circular saw. I think almost everyone have a skil saw in their tool box.

I am freaking excited also 'cause this saw IS available here in Europe (Poland at least), I have their older brushless 20v model and I torture it almost every day for past year and a half 💪 I was sceptic to get their 40v saw due to size and weight but this here with 66mm cutting depth might be the answer. As you have both of them now, can you tell me if there's much difference speed-endurance wise in max depth cut while also pushing them, does this new 20vXP stall quicker if at all? How about accuracy? Also, you might have noticed the base on this saw is track compatible, sooooo... where is the track? I can't fing it anywhere on the web😁

Is there a link where i can get this saw to buy?

270 or 217?

@projectsforall... can you try this skil xp saw with the powertech rails that you used with the Wen track saw, thanks

does it have kickback protection ?

What about a 5ah it would make a difference

What track is this compatible with?

is there a link to this product?

skil best brand, not sale in korea ㅠㅠ

Actually the claim is 300+ cuts on 2×4 not 2×12.
