Nobody has to tell you or your tools to go above and beyond every day. It’s just part of the job. It’s why SKILSAW built a 12 in. dry cut saw to cut like a 14 in. With an impressive 4-1/2 in. cutting capacity in a compact frame, you can handle big jobs and move easily from shop to site. The powerful 15 Amp motor and no load 1500 rpm cuts faster and cleaner than a chop saw no debarring needed. And with soft-start, you’ll get a motor that runs smoother and longer for more cuts. Add to that the included Diablo Cermet tipped blade and you’ve got a serious metal machine.
- 15 Amp power plus lightweight portability, perfect for the shop or jobsite
- Soft-start reduces stress for a motor that runs smoother and lasts longer
- Large 4-1/2 in. cutting capacity cuts most shapes and sizes typically cut by 14 in. saws in a compact portable saw
- Diablo cermet tipped blade that delivers 3X the life of a standard carbide tipped blade
- Die cast aluminum and guards make this saw lightweight and ideal for job-site portability
- Includes SPT62MTC 12 in. dry cut saw, Diablo 60-tooth carbide blade and multi-functional wrench

Excellent saw. The reason I picked this over the Evolution was that this one had a cast aluminum base with the ability to extend. This solid base allows me to clamp pieces to be cut without the base bending.

Works awesome, wish I bought one years ago, no more bandsaw or fiber blades. Makes perfect clean and square cuts almost as fast as a wood miter saw. The sale price of $299 made it even better. Depot 1 day only sales are the best.

Looked at the Dewalt, Makita and Evolution cold cut saws and decided on this Skilsaw. This version with the Diablo blade is ‘da bomb. The vice and base seem superior to the other saws. Happy with my decision.

Cuts through metal like a hot knife cuts through butter. Plenty of power and the soft start motor feature is an excellent idea to prolong motor life. Saw cuts very clean and accurate – 90 and 45 degrees. Have not tried any other angles yet. I was also looking at the Makita LC1230 but decided on the Skilsaw instead. I am very happy with this purchase. This saw has a nice heavy base – not a stamped steel one.

Did a lot of research before buying and thought this to be the best saw for the $’s. So far it has proven to be correct and has lived up to expectations. Very happy with the Skil dry cut saw. Now Skil needs to step up their game and make a true metal cutting mitre saw.

Pros: D handle, solid and extendable base, soft start motor, light weight, diablo blade. Cons: chip container only catches 1/2 of the metal chips. Overall: very thorough design.

Great saw! I am so pleased with how it performs, I was a little worried about the cost but it’s proven to be worth it!

This saw is great! Looked at lots of dry-cut saws – though less common, reviews on the Skil were solid – and it hasn’t let me down. Cuts fast, clean, minimal sparking, stays cool. Cast AL base is legit, the clamp is nice – 45’s need to be clamped REAL tight, and cut slow…

I tried out the Dewalt, then the Makita and lastly the Skilsaw. The Dewalt and Makita went back to an online supplier. Both the Makita and Dewalt had poorly constructed and thought out bases / vices. I had been using my metal bandsaw when I read some reviews on the Skilsaw cold cut saw. Picked one up at Home Depot for $489 and find it easier and more accurate than the Makita and Dewalt. Super surprised that this Skilsaw is designed so well. I make start checking out other Skilsaw tools too…
