SKIL 10" Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw-MS6305-00

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.

After receiving a slightly damaged unit due to shipping, the bevel initially wouldn't hold at 90 degrees. However, Skil promptly replaced it for me. Once I calibrated the new saw, I achieved precise cuts, and I must say, the shadow system is amazing. Overall, this is a very good saw, especially considering the price point. Kudos to Skil for their top-notch customer service!

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.

Unleashing the SKIL 10" Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw MS6305-00 in my workshop was a game-changer! The precision of each cut was unparalleled, and the dual bevel feature made intricate angles a breeze. The powerful motor effortlessly sliced through tough materials, though it was a bit noisy. Its compact design and smooth sliding action were a joy to work with, while the laser guide ensured every cut was spot-on. This saw truly combines precision and power for top-notch woodworking results. 🔥⚙️🪚

This thing is FANTASTIC. Its 15-amp motor delivers up to 4,800 RPM, allowing for quick and detailed cuts. The dual bevel feature enables cuts at 48° and 45° to the left, and 0° and 45° to the right, with four positive stop positions, providing versatility for various cutting needs. It came accurate out of the box, no adjustment was needed (however it’s always recommended to check and make sure it’s properly adjusted). The shadow line is sweet and a welcome addition at this price. I recommend a miter saw stand for it, but you can get by using it on a desk if necessary.Overall though, this miter saw is a reliable and efficient choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.

This is the best saw for the price. It's well-made, solid, and heavy-duty. It cuts well with precision. For the price, it's as good as the top brands. This is it for anyone looking for the biggest bang for the buck with miter saws!

I will come back later and leave a review once I use it. BUT my old miter saw is a 10 inch Ryobi. Very small...and lightweight. Easy for this old gal to carry in and out of storage but it had all kinds of things wrong with it. Never got straight cuts from it..locking handles broke. It was a mess. So I bought this due to the price and everything it offered, I wanted. Well I got it shipped to me and DANG..its VERY heavy and VERY big. I was not expecting that at all.I waited to have help to move it. In the meantime, I built a solid wood table to sit inside of a small metal shed. Bought shed just for the saw. Sigh. Anyway...built heavy wood table to fit...drilled holes into table and bolted saw to table. It aint going nowhere now. BUT the shed being small..i knew a 2x4x8 wouldnt fit in the shed..soooo I cut a hole in the side of the building to be able to run a board out the side...then i covered the hole with a rubber type flap. I have not used the saw yet since its only been a week...but it looks big and scary. LOL I am use to using small tools. I still need to learn to use it but it looks pretty simple. I will update once I have used it...but I am happy with my purchase so far. The shed..thats another story. UGH.I can say one thing..this will be alot better for cutting small plywood type projects or 2x6 or larger boards. I dont like using hand saws. I can never get a straight cut. My hands arent that strong to hold on like that. Maybe I needed a table saw too. Thats next and sawhorses. For yrs I have used crappy plastic cheap sawhorses that fall down on me all the time and no place to cut. an uneven yard is the best i have.But I am excited to finally have something descent to use...as i said..i will update once i have used it for a project.UPDATE: Have cut a few boards and used the bevel also....works very well. I like it. Still learning all the knobs but it is good. I am happy with it. (I added pics)

Upon delivery, the saw had minor shipping damage and the bevel angle wouldn't hold steady at first. Nevertheless, Skil provided a quick replacement. After calibrating the new unit, I was able to make accurate cuts, and I was particularly impressed with the shadow system feature. Overall, this saw offers great value for its price. I commend Skil for their excellent customer service.
