This Saw works Great! It’s lightweight and cuts a 4x with one pass. Had a larger job and needed to cut a lot of beams. It got the job done.

The Skilsaw works very well and is what I expected from it. I’ve had it for about a month building a new deck. It’s easy to use, movable upper handle which I like since I can put it on the left side for added support while guiding the saw with my right hand. However, I found the Diablo saw blade is sub quality, it bends and flexes too much and had to be replaced with a better blade, I chose a Big Foot blade which works well.

This was an upgrade from what I used for years. Needed a bigger size. Meets my expectations.

Twenty five years ago when I was a framer’s helper, the only kind of saw I knew was “the Skilsaw”. It wasn’t the only saw we used, it was what the seasoned guys called every circular saw. Since then I’ve largely ignored Skil believing they were on a race to the bottom like too many once proud US companies. But when I came across the Sawsquatch at the store recently, I had to take a second look.Out of the box the saw is robust, heavy, and feels solid. First impression is good. Assembled the Diablo blade, no problem. I use Diablo blades on most of my daily tools and generally like them. I’m certainly a fan of higher end blades like the Forrest WWII, but for the daily crew use Diablo’s are fine. Next on to checking the saw. Out of the box the bevel adjustment was off a few degrees, and the shoe was not square to the blade. With a hex wrench I quickly fixed that problem. However, I haven’t yet figured out if I can adjust the bevel indicator to read true. Right now 1 degree on the bevel indicator is actually 0 (see photo). Didn’t find anything in the manual about adjusting that either. Oil level check. The manual recommends doing this before use, and I believe mine is on the low side (see photo). I’d like to be able to top that off and no extra oil came in the box. Fasteners. Most of the hex fasteners, like the one on the wrap handle, were loose and needed tightening. Fasteners tight, lets get on with this.True depth of cut at 90 degrees as measured = 3 7/8″ (see photo)I’m a timber framer and I run a sawmill, so I’m often cross cutting and ripping green rough cut, and heavy hardwood timbers. First impressions going through a southern yellow pine slab and a white oak 4×4 are good. The saw performs well without bogging down or feeling strained. We plan to start a new timber frame project soon and I’m very interested to see how this saw performs over the duration. I’m also eager to get my hands on the new Super Squatch when it’s released soon. Overall if you need a wood plow to cut slabs or 4×4’s under 3 7/8″ deep at 90 in one pass, this may be your best bet for the price. I have to commend Skilsaw for getting back to its roots and recognizing how folks like me want dependable bombproof tools. I hope to follow up this review after I complete my next timber frame project.

Yes, this is a good work horse. The Blade is also good, but we can not find availability on the same, 2 shipment is a wrong arbor – must be a diamond, not round.

I needed a saw to cut 4×6″s and 4×4″s for an upcoming project and this is the one I choose. Being a novice to this type of saw I will say this saw was a little intimidating when I 1st took it out of the box and I made sure to read the manual and watched some Youtube videos before I even plugged it in. I took the time to square up the base, check the bevel and verified the gear oil level. I had and old chunk of a 4×6, a friend gave me, which I used to baptize myself, by squaring up the ends. Whoa! This saw sliced thru the ends like it was butter! Impressed is an understatement! I will probably buy another 4×4 to cut up, just for the practice, so I can become more knowledgeable I will respect this saw and look forward to learning what it can do and I know it will be an asset to own, when I start my project.

It was just too heavy for a 64 year old that doesn’t work carpenter every day. Had to return it sorry.

This Skillsaw was excellent in cutting different size wood. It’s a little heavy but, with some practice you can handle this cutting straight lines.

Had a termite damaged tree felled and cut into nine foot logs. Found a local sawmill that could cut them into three inch slabs. We wanted to make stair treads for a steel building.Problem was: How do we cut the slabs to size? Too heavy and unwieldy to put on a table saw – Skil Sawsquach to the rescue!! this saw made easy work of cutting to length and width. Would recommend this tool to anyone with an oversized project.

Awesome saw. Very easy to handle. Notches 6×6 treated lumber with no trouble. Well worth the extra money for what you are getting.

Great hand-held 10″ saw that is really easy to use & has that reliable worm-driven power that most all professionals are accostomed to.

Great saw for oversized lumber. Use it to cutoff 2” solid wood hard maple table top ends. With 80 tooth Diablo the result is amazingly fine.

Hey Handyguy from Nanaimo B. C. are you daft? Saw cuts through 4 x 4 & 4 x 6 like butter. Why dont you learn how to cut before you dis the best circular saw there is dipstick.
Skyla Rippin (verified owner) –
Used this for for 2.6″ & 3″ rough cut stock; went through like butter. Only had to adjust the fence stop to 90 degrees then started cutting. Great Saw!

Haven’t used it much yet but the blade is awful. A saw of this quality should come with a professional thicker 1/8″ blade. Freud makes terrific blades but this might as well been one of those old ones you would get with a new saw that had no carbide, just a steel blade

This saw is a beast, I use it to square up the ends of 3 inch thick slabs. I also used it on 2 1/2 inch thick walnut. Worked like a champ.
