Power & Motor

The TS6307-00 is corded, runs on 120 V, and draws 15 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support the.

The DCS7485 is cordless and runs on 60 V batteries.

The DCS7485 motor spins at 5800 rpm and the TS6307-00 motor spins at 4600 rpm. Don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, so they don’t have a meaningful impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both products have a 5/8” arbor. The DCS7485 takes 8 1/4” diameter blades. The TS6307-00 accepts 10” diameter blades. 10” is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so you’ll be able to find a large variety of blades. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor gives you a lot of options.

The Skil takes dado blades up to 5/8” thick. The DeWalt doesn’t accept dado blades. If you’re a woodworker, this might be a significant shortcoming. If you might want to use dado blades, you might want to look at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The DeWalt has 24” of rip capacity to the right of the blade and has 12” of rip capacity to the left side. The Skil has 25 1/2” of rip capacity to the right and has 14” of rip capacity to the left side of the blade. As a rule, more rip capacity is better, but it typically also means a larger, heavier saw. Think about what types of rip cuts you’ll be making and choose the right size saw for you.

The DCS7485 is able to cut up to 2 1/2” at a 90° angle and will cut up to 1 3/4” deep at 45°. The TS6307-00 can bevel the blade up to 47°, can cut up to 3 1/2” at an angle of 90°, and is able to cut up to 2 1/2” deep at a 45° angle.

The table on the DeWalt has a width of 22 3/4” and a depth of 22 3/4”. The table on the Skil has a width of 24” and a depth of 25”.
