SKIL 10" Dual Bevel Sliding Compound Miter Saw-MS6305-00

I‘ve wanted to buy a nice power miter saw for many years. I finally decided to do it and researched the various brands and types. I settled on this compound miter saw from Skil Saw after carefully weighing the features and reviews against the competition. I believe I made the best choice. It is a very sturdy piece of equipment with great features. The engineering shows a lot of careful planning. Controls and adjustments are conveniently and safely located. Operation is very intuitive and since I’m a beginner, I really appreciate this. I‘ve used it several times for simple cuts and so far, I couldn’t be more pleased. I feel confident cutting with it by following the instructions carefully. The cuts are precise and accurate. If I had to find a fault, it would be that it is kind of messy. The collection bag doesn‘t seem to collect much of the saw dust while cutting and it ends up all over the machine. Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but clean up isn‘t that difficult. The price was super good and I bought it as a package with a nice stand that seems custom made for mounting this saw. I look forward to many years of reliable service from this saw. Skill has earned by trust.

The SKIL MS6305-00 is a game-changer! Its 10" dual bevel sliding design delivers smooth, accurate cuts every time. Powerful motor, easy adjustments, and great value. Highly recommend for DIYers and pros alike—fantastic performance!

As a DIYer this does everything I'd expect from a miter saw. I'm not sure what miter saws that cost double the price can do that this doesn't. There's a ten inch blade, which is good but far from the maximum size. Otherwise, it's not too heavy to pick up and move around and from front to back is about 40 inches; it would be better if it could take up less space in the back. The build quality is excellent and it comes with a clamp built in. This also comes with a dust bag which does moderately well, but can be attached to a dust collection hose. Finally, the thing that makes it really a great value is the accuracy of its shadow line. Not only does it have a very accurate shadow that seems to be more accurate than a laser, there's a small "v" marking that allows the user to tweak the cut to the center of the shadow line.

Compared to my 20 yr old Delta miter saw, this saw is a dream. Compared to other saws with the same features, you can’t beat the price in any big box store especially with a respected brand such as Skil.The box arrived quickly and the saw was well packaged and protected inside. Only a couple minor assembly steps needed to affix the clamp and dust bag. Out of the box accuracy was right on the money in most axes, though I have not yet checked the bevel angles. The manual has very detailed instructions on how to tune this unit in, but I found I did not need to do any.Only a couple things to note which knocked off one star. 1) as other reviewers have noted, connection to a vacuum took some rigging since the dust bag attachment outlet is 1.5” OD, meaning my 1.5” OD ‘standard’ hose would not fit. (In general I wish industry would standardize these things better and I hate using multiple adapters to get things to connect). Anyway, some jury rigging and gorilla tape got my vacuum hose connected. 2) even with my shop vac running, the dust collection is not that great and this guy can throw a lot of dust around. 3) the shadow line is cool and even marks where the kerf of the blade will cut instead of a center line, BUT it shows the kerf on the right side of the saw blade, not the left. Being right handed, I’m usually feeding and cutting from the left side of the blade and would like to be able to line up the shadow line to my cut line from that side. Maybe just me, but I see this as enough of a flaw as to make the shadow line useless in most applications, 4) the unit has a very short power cord (3’?), meaning I have to use an extension cord just to plug it into the power strip mounted on the side of my workbench.These issues aside, this is a very nice saw and well worth the money. I’ve already put it to use cutting several hundred mitered blocks for a project I’m working on. If you can get past the issues above like I did, then I highly recommend this product.

I read lots of reviews before getting a compound miter saw and ultimately settled on this one because, time and time again, the reviewer mentioned it was a great value for your money.After using it for a few years I can say but I whole-heartedly agree! I've used this saw for a wide range of projects: framing the entirety of our enclosed and air conditioned 150 ft² shed, doing trim work around the house, and seemingly everything in between. I've had no issues with degradation of materials or cut quality, and it has consistently and easily cut everything I've thrown at it, all the way up to treated 2x10s.Great saw and I would absolutely buy it again.

The SKIL MS6305-00 10" Miter Saw delivers flawless cuts with smooth dual-bevel action and a sturdy sliding mechanism. Perfect for DIYers and pros alike—great value for the price! Highly recommend!

i have owned it almost a year. i have only used it a few times. i did check all the cuts and all cuts are perfect so far. great value for a double bevel sliding arm miter box. i got the 100$ stand with it that was suggested. and yeah perfect combo. cause this is not a light saw. it is not a cheap harbor freight saw its not a high end saw. but its not a cheap junk saw. it is really heavy and bulky pics do it no justice.
