I have had this table saw for 1 year and have done a few woodworking projects with it. Its small size makes it desirable for a small shop. It seems to have plenty of power to cut everything that I have used this saw to cut. The dust collection bag works good. The saw has two problems, 1. the grooves for the miter guide is 5/8 not the typical 3/4. Almost all other saws are 3/4 and all after market miter guides are 3/4. So none of the attachments that are out there to help you be more accurate with your cuts will fit this table saw. Problem 2. the arbor for the saw blade is too short to allow for using a dado blade assembly.

Shipped fast, powerful, great value with the accesories. Pakageing not the best. Directions very confusing due to the fact that the assembly instuctions did not include the stand or dust catch, so had to figue that out on my own. The blade was elevated above the table in box which was right at the top of the box when opened. It had obviously been set on or something stacked on top of it because blade was broken through box. Which is why it was probably not aligned. When I tried to loosen the screws to align the blade they stripped (and I didn't slip in the screw head at all). Very soft screw metal so before I could use it once I had to go out and get a screw. Luckly underneith it had a hex nut so I could replace it but this should not happen. Once I got it set up works great but was a pain to get it useable. If you want a saw that is usable out of the box and not have to fiddle with it, maybe look at another saw. This is my first table saw assembly so I am not sure if this is common issue with the alignment, but the cheap screws are unacceptable.

This item is in very poor condition and I will be returning this. It has 3, maybe 4 spots where it looks like someone hit it with a hammer or dropped it, it's covered with saw dust. And to top it off...the motor fell out of the bottom.

My husband was thrilled with the Skil Table Saw I gave him for Christmas. He stated "it cuts like butter"! He has already started on a couple projects for the house. Yeah Skil!

This table saw was ship early, and a Christmas gift for my husband: He Love it: This was shipped from Amazon, I have order many thing from Amazon and have no problem:

Unbelievable great deal purchasing this item from Amazon. Price could NOT be beat, had free shipping at the time and it is very good quality for the price.
Seem to have some saw dust around the table that is not all captured in the bag, but I think it will just take more playing with it to figure it all out.
It arrived quickly and the ONLY real problem we had at all was the delivery person with FedEX. Otherwise, Excellent as usual when dealing with Amazon.

A saw is a saw. This one has a cute little safety key - removable- to get it to work. You would think that would be easy to come by? Wrong. Before you buy this, search for the safety key- YOU CAN"T GET ONE ANYWHEWRE!! I'll either have to bypass it altogether or get a new saw. Garbage.
