Is the throat plate metal? I have older version which has the plate as plastic.
Yes, it is painted aluminium now. Have you hade any issues with it since it has been plastic?
I've owned this saw for a year. It hasn't held up. The motor is failing and the bolts on the tilt/lift and toolless blade adjustment unthread during use causing the blade to go out of alignment while in operation. This is all covered under warranty but the first place Skil had me bring the saw had it for 2 weeks before informing me that they recently stopped working with Skil and to puck up my saw. The second place skil sent me said the electrical issues alone would necessitate a full replacement. Skil is willing to replace it but by the time they do ill have been without my table saw for well over a month. I asked if there was an upgrade path to buy into the 10" worm drive in hopes it's more robust but no such luck. It's a shame, but it looks like the saw just isn't built to last and the warranty has been a real pain to execute. Good luck with your new saw but i want other buyers to be wary that this might not be the best saw for them long term.
Thanks for sharing your experience! When buying at the lower end of the pricing category im always a bit worried about quality. Nice to hear from someone who has had it for a year. Sounds like a real hassle. Just out of curiousty, how much did you use it before it started breaking down? Did you use it daily or more in a hobby setting?
@@SteelSurgeon-h6pI'm a hobbyist woodworker and I use the saw 2-3 days a week.
You forgot to lock your riving knife in the video.
Thanks for your input! All locked and secured now. Hope you enjoyed the video!
Do not use the push stick while using the miter gauge. It is a safety problem waiting to happen. It could put a bind on the blade, causing a kick-back. It also could be part of the reason your 45°miter was off - however, the miter gauge that comes with most saws are junk and unaccurate as well.
Thanks for your input! Will do a few cuts and see the difference. Anyhow, safety first!
