Features & Benefits

You can read more in our complete guide to buying a table saw.

Power & Motor

Both table saws 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 saws.

The C10RJS motor spins at 4500 rpm and the SPT99T-01 motor spins at 5300 rpm. 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 products have a 5/8” arbor. The C10RJS accepts 10” diameter blades. The SPT99T-01 takes 8 1/4” diameter blades. 10” is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so it shouldn’t be a problem 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 Metabo HPT accepts dado blades up to 13/16” thick. The Skilsaw takes dado blades up to 1/2” 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. The Skilsaw has 25” of rip capacity to the right and has 12” 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 C10RJS can bevel its blade 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 SPT99T-01 can bevel up to 46.5°, can cut up to 2 5/8” at a 90° angle, and can cut up to 1 7/8” deep at a 45° angle.

The table on the Metabo HPT has a width of 28 3/4” and a depth of 22”. The table on the Skilsaw has a width of 23 1/2” and a depth of 21 1/2”.
