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 DCS7485T1 is cordless and requires 60 V batteries.

The DCS7485T1 motor produces 5800 rpm and the TS6307-00 motor produces 4600 rpm. But don’t pay too much attention to these numbers, because the manufacturers measure them under no-load conditions, so they don’t have a strong impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both table saws have a 5/8” arbor. The DCS7485T1 takes 8 1/4” diameter saw blades. The TS6307-00 accepts 10” diameter blades. Ten inches is the most common size for table saw blades, so you’ll be able to find a large variety of blades to suit your needs. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor gives you a variety of options.

The Skil takes dado blades up to 5/8” thick. The DCS7485T1 doesn’t accept dado blades. If you’re a woodworker, this might be a major shortcoming. If you might want to use dado blades, you might want to look at a different model.

Size & Capacity

The DeWalt can rip up to 24” of wood on the right side of the blade and has 12” of rip capacity on the left. The Skil has 25 1/2” of rip capacity on the right side of the blade and has 14” of rip capacity on the left. Generally speaking, a larger rip capacity is better, but it often also means a larger (and heavier) saw. Think about how big of rip cuts you’ll be making to help choose the right size saw for you.

The DCS7485T1 can bevel up to 45°, will cut up to 2 1/2” deep at 90°, and can cut up to 1 3/4” at an angle of 45°. The TS6307-00 can bevel its blade up to 47°, is able to cut up to 3 1/2” deep at a 90° angle, and will cut up to 2 1/2” at 45°.

The table on the Skil is 24” wide and 25” deep.
