Power & Motor
Both products are corded, run on 120 V, and draw 15 amps. In the U.S., standard residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support either of the table saws.
The C10RJS motor spins at 4500 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 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 wide variety of blades for any purpose. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor won’t limit your options.
The Metabo HPT accepts dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The Skil takes dado blades up to 5/8” thick.
Size & Capacity
The Metabo HPT has 35” of rip capacity to the right of the blade and has 22” of rip capacity to the left side of the blade. The Skil has 25 1/2” of rip capacity to the right and has 14” of rip capacity to the left side. In general, a larger rip capacity is better, but it typically also means a larger and heavier saw. Think about what types of rip cuts you’ll be making and choose the right size saw for you.
The C10RJS can bevel its blade up to 45°, is able to cut up to 3 1/8” deep at an angle of 90°, and can cut up to 2 1/4” at 45°. The TS6307-00 can bevel the blade up to 47°, will cut up to 3 1/2” deep at a 90° angle, and is able to cut up to 2 1/2” at an angle of 45°.
The table on the Metabo HPT has a width of 28 3/4” and a depth of 22”. The table on the Skil has a width of 24” and a depth of 25”.
