Skil10" Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw-MS6305-00

As a DIYer this does everything I'd expect from a miter saw. I'm not sure what miter saws that cost double the price can do that this doesn't. There's a ten inch blade, which is good but far from the maximum size. Otherwise, it's not too heavy to pick up and move around and from front to back is about 40 inches; it would be better if it could take up less space in the back. The build quality is excellent and it comes with a clamp built in. This also comes with a dust bag which does moderately well, but can be attached to a dust collection hose. Finally, the thing that makes it really a great value is the accuracy of its shadow line. Not only does it have a very accurate shadow that seems to be more accurate than a laser, there's a small "v" marking that allows the user to tweak the cut to the center of the shadow line.

This miter is so user friendly, the shadow line is super freaking accurate. I have had a lot of enjoyment making projects and I’ve done it with ease! Highly recommend as a budget friendly miter saw for someone who is getting started with woodworking !!

Came completely assembled with good instructions on how to use. Fits in my 2X2 foot recess on my work bench no problem. The shadow line that is projected on the work piece used to make the cut is great. Looks to be good quality. Price was hard to beat too.

I‘ve wanted to buy a nice power miter saw for many years. I finally decided to do it and researched the various brands and types. I settled on this compound miter saw from Skil Saw after carefully weighing the features and reviews against the competition. I believe I made the best choice. It is a very sturdy piece of equipment with great features. The engineering shows a lot of careful planning. Controls and adjustments are conveniently and safely located. Operation is very intuitive and since I’m a beginner, I really appreciate this. I‘ve used it several times for simple cuts and so far, I couldn’t be more pleased. I feel confident cutting with it by following the instructions carefully. The cuts are precise and accurate. If I had to find a fault, it would be that it is kind of messy. The collection bag doesn‘t seem to collect much of the saw dust while cutting and it ends up all over the machine. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but clean up isn‘t that difficult. The price was super good and I bought it as a package with a nice stand that seems custom made for mounting this saw. I look forward to many years of reliable service from this saw. Skill has earned by trust.

There are 2 things that are a little funky.1. There is a know right behind the saw, that you have to hit to go from positive to negative angles, but to turn it you have to move the saw the other way first...I'm guessing at some point I will break that knob.2. The fence is about 1/32 or 1/16 off left to right, sliding a straight edge from left to right catches a tiny bit, otherwise the fence is straight, and can easily be squared to the blade. (Pro tip, get a digital angle gauge, so much easier that squares)Other than that...the hold down looks like an excellent idea with a toggle clamp. The fence tops slide very easy, and have a positive stop that will prevent them from falling out. The adjustment knobs are all easy to handle, although some are hidden a bit more than expected.Weight is appropriate.The guard seems a little flimsy attached only on one side, but probably fine.Overall, on surface, it looks like a great budget but...can't wait to try it...once I try it and find anything wrong, this review will be updated.
