low quality, but okay for ripping lumber [Posted on 2008-07-07]
This saw is pretty poorly made. Even after following the instructions for adjusting the blade so it is parallel to the fence, the blade is at a bit of an angle, only about half a degree or so, but it can not be made to be perfectly parallel to the fence. The adjusting slots underneath the table are not machined properly. And the cheapo mechanism for attaching the blade guard almost guarantees that the wood being cut will hit the guard.
As I already have a Dewalt DW715 compound miter saw, I only use this Skil table saw for ripping long pieces... I use the Dewalt for all other cuts. My Dewalt handles with the precision of a sports car. This Skil saw is more like an old station wagon with bad suspension. It works okay for my limited needs to rip lumber somewhat accurately, which is why I didn't send it back... but it only works if you don't install the blade guard, otherwise it wouldn't be able to cut. Not using the blade guard is not safe, so I can't recommend this saw to anyone else.
