Power & Motor

Both products are corded, run on 120 V, and draw 15 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support either of the table saws.

The DWE7491RS motor spins at 4800 rpm and the TS6307-00 motor spins at 4600 rpm. But don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, and they don’t have a direct impact on the saw’s real-world ability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both saws take 10” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. 10” is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so you’ll be able to find a huge variety of blades for any purpose. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor maximizes blade compatibility.

The DeWalt accepts dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The Skil takes dado blades up to 5/8” thick.

Size & Capacity

The DeWalt has 32 1/2” of rip capacity to the right of the blade and has 22” 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. All else being equal, 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 DWE7491RS can bevel up to 45°, can cut up to 3 1/8” at a 90° angle, and can cut up to 2 1/4” deep at a 45° angle. The TS6307-00 can bevel its blade up to 47°, can cut up to 3 1/2” at a 90° angle, and can cut up to 2 1/2” deep at a 45° angle.

The table on the DeWalt has a width of 26 3/8” and a depth of 21 7/8”. The table on the Skil has a width of 24” and a depth of 25”.
