Power & Motor

Both 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 products.

The TS6307-00 motor spins at 4600 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 table saws have a 5/8” arbor. The TS6307-00 takes 10” diameter blades. The SPT99T-01 accepts 8 1/4” diameter blades. 10” is a very popular diameter for table saw blades, meaning you’ll 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 maximizes blade compatibility.

The Skil takes dado blades up to 5/8” thick. The Skilsaw accepts dado blades up to 1/2” thick.

Size & Capacity

The Skil has 25 1/2” of rip capacity to the right side of the blade and has 14” of rip capacity to the left. The Skilsaw has 25” of rip capacity to the right side and has 12” of rip capacity to the left. 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 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 SPT99T-01 can bevel up to 46.5°, can cut up to 2 5/8” deep at an angle of 90°, and is able to cut up to 1 7/8” at a 45° angle.

The table on the Skil has a width of 24” and a depth of 25”. The table on the Skilsaw has a width of 23 1/2” and a depth of 21 1/2”.
