While we haven’t had a huge amount of time to try out the capabilities of this saw, we have been able to use it long enough to see that Skilsaw has done its homework when breaking into the market with this 16- 5/16″ beam saw. We are one of the leading timber frame companies on the East coast. We still craft all of our frames with circular saws, mallets and chisels. The majority of our timbers are Douglas Fir in sizes ranging from 4″ up to 14″. The Sawsquatch allows for a cutting depth of 6 1/4″, which is standard to this size of saw. Some PROS:*The saw is very lightweight at 27 lbs. to make long work days much easier in toting around a large beam saw. Even our Business Manager was able to pick up the saw and use it for the first demo cuts!*The arbor bolt does not over tighten, thus allowing the blade to move smoothly and not bind up.*The saw stand is incredible, also lightweight and allows the saw to clamp directly on to the stand to easily transport the saw across the shop.*The saw offers two handle positions – one for straight cuts and one that makes bevel cuts much easier.*The worm drive allows for much more power in the cutting process.*Easy setup right out of the box with a wrench that attaches directly to the saw base.*No need to purchase an additional $400 saw base that was needed on the old and new Makita saws.Some CONS:*It is more difficult to see the back of the blade for cutting and following a line. We will continue to look for ways to make this work.*The cutout on the saw base for the blade is quite wide, which may cause a problem if the amount you are cutting off the beam is smaller. This cutout will want to lodge in that opening. Again, we will follow up on this item.*Unsure of repair abilities over time with accessibility to parts, etc. but assume that they will be available.CONCLUSION: This saw is one of the best we have seen and will certainly be joined by others over the years. We currently own (3) old Makita beam saws that we are finding it difficult to find parts and pieces for repair. I’m sure our supply will begin to have many more Skilsaw tools in it! We also highly recommend their 10- 1/4″ circular saw as well. We will update as we continue to use the saw.

This saw is one of the best purchases that I have ever made. It cuts flawlessly.

Saw is a beast!!!
Lola Dare (verified owner) –
The extra handle with multiple positions is great for control and the saw is surprisingly balanced and easy to use for the size and power it has. If you need a beam saw this is the best one hands down

We are using the saw to cut PT rough sawn 6×6’s and 8×8’s for timber retaining walls, bridges, and docks. Has great balance, weight, and power.

The saw for the job. Just cut through large beams without any problems! The only saw to purchase for big jobs.
Rubye Marvin (verified owner) –
Bought this saw to rip 16′ 6×6’s accurately. It is not an effortless exercise, but it got the job done. My only comment is that the trade tools industry is not supportive when it comes to out of the ordinary…. ie… specifying a blade for this beast of a saw for ripping.The tool is much lighter than the old ones! Just saying

A new wood chewing monster by the name of Sawsquatch has made an appearance in the shop. It is going to get some practice before we take on pergola construction. I am not one to just jump in and learn from mistakes, not with the price of the lumber we will be using. So, the first material will be four by four and five- and one-half square material. If this had been made with cast iron instead of magnesium, well, let’s just say I might have thought of going a different route to make these cuts. Next stop is to obtain some worm drive oil!The new pergola will not defeat me on the large cuts = bring it on!

This saw works great! I’m much more productive and my work is more accurate.
Isaiah Howe (verified owner) –
Excellent saw! Yeah, it’s a little heavy; deal with it. Great power, great accuracy. Plunge cuts like a dream. Exceeds my expectations.
Rudolph Terry (verified owner) –
Great saw that cuts very well. Purchased to cut a bunch of beams
Jerald Goodwin (verified owner) –
I fell in love with this saw the announcement ! So much good feature compared to the competition. The dust extractor port is super useful even without a vac plugged in. All the saw dust go away from your eyes, which is always a plus !The electric brake make so much sense in a saw this big, it block the inertia almost instantly. The auxiliary handle make every cut very comfortable, and you feel perfectly confident. I recommend this saw without any hesitations.
Beth Kiehn (verified owner) –
Great saw goes through 6×6 easy. FYI the guard measures 3.25” but it cuts at 4.5” idk why. But still highly recommend.
Adele Crist (verified owner) –
Use it for Timber Frame construction, this saw is amazing! I would pick this saw up over makita any day due to the brake and worm drive. This saw cuts completely through 6×6 like butter. Great saw!
Brant Bechtelar (verified owner) –
I did my research on this all before I bought it. It works great does everything I expected completely satisfied
Mossie Donnelly (verified owner) –
Saw is powerful and very comfortable to use. I wish there was a slot for a rip guide like the makita beam saw.

Bought this for my husband to build our new log home and he absolutely loves it!
Nella Gutkowski (verified owner) –
after seeing other reviews I purchased this beam saw. It may be large but I truly was impressed not by the amazing features but how it powered through various thick boards with precision to help me finish some of my projects. I now have many more projects lined up to replacing some large beams in my very old house.
Declan Runte (verified owner) –
I feel it needs a little more power. I do see why the saw has the power that it has any more power And kickback could be dangerous! All and all the saw has cut through Lengthwise 56 beams 9′ long 6.25″thick with no issues at all. The saw is awesome
