Power & Motor

Both saws are corded and run on 120 V. The R4512 draws 13 amps. The TS6307-00 draws 15 amps. In the U.S., standard residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support either of the table saws.

The R4512 motor spins at 3450 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 direct impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.

Blade Compatibility

Both products accept 10” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. 10” is the most common diameter for table saw blades, so you should be able to find a wide variety of blades to suit your needs. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor won’t limit your options.

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

Size & Capacity

The Ridgid has 30” of rip capacity to the right side of the blade and has 15” of rip capacity to the left. The Skil has 25 1/2” of rip capacity to the right side and has 14” of rip capacity to the left of the blade. As a rule, 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 R4512 can bevel its blade up to 45°, is able to cut up to 3 1/4” at an angle of 90°, and can cut up to 2 1/4” deep at 45°. The TS6307-00 can bevel the blade up to 47°, will cut up to 3 1/2” at a 90° angle, and is able to cut up to 2 1/2” deep at an angle of 45°.

The table on the Ridgid has a width of 40” and a depth of 27”. The table on the Skil has a width of 24” and a depth of 25”.
