Price wise, it blows them out of the water. You won't find a better brand new saw under $250 anywhere, and for a DIYer, this saw hits all the necessary notes. The only "con" that Popular Mechanics could come up with, after voting it Best Value right behind a $650 DeWalt, is that it doesn't have quite as much cut capacity as a 12" sliding saw, but, well, duh… it's a 10" saw. As with any miter saw, the dust collection leaves a lot to be desired, but it's functional. There also aren't positive bevel stops, so you have to hold the angle with one hand and tighten with the other—nothing an electronic angle finder can't help with though.

Having owned a 12" DeWalt that didn't slide, 10" blades are cheaper, easier to find, and have more variety of manufacturers, tooth counts, etc. available off-the-shelf.

I have had this for a 1.5 years and will tell you, it is a good saw. Has plenty of power, looks/ feels high quality. I paid 250 and was happy with what I paid after seeing it in action.

Awesome! I had decided on this one a month ago to replace my Ryobi and had watched several other miter saw deals come up over BF. I just ordered since Amazon said it would've taken a few weeks.

OP I think Amazon is matching the price now: https://www.amazon.com/Skil-Dual-...B08J7N3VYW

Ugh recent reviews from the latest quality control production don't look promising

Dewalt always has some stupid faults they can easily fix for pennies but refuse to do so on their saws lineup. You pay a premium and expect premium. But everything with those clowns falls on deaf ears.

This SKIL is an excellent deal for homeowners. Any kind of SKIL power saw is very good and excellent value for the price, imo. I avoid their other stuff.

I think unless you have an Amex or Discover offer with Amazon, you are not going to beat Walmart combined with CB sites, though. One I use has 12% at Walmart right now, which would make the total about $175.

I'm dense apparently, I need a hint to find the cash back site. I'm new to the CB thing

12" for 30 bucks more? https://a.co/d/iTbNul7

Looks like single bevel vs dual bevel

Better than Ryobi? I bought a 10" sliding compound miter saw from ryobi and the angles aren't square cut to cut. The laser has never lined up perfectly, and generally it's a mediocre saw at best. I wish I would have got a higher quality unit. I wonder if this Skil saw is a higher tier saw than my Ryobi?

Yes there is no comparison between ryobi and SKIL when it comes to a miter saw and table saw. Skils products on both are much better reviewed with a lot of comments on the quality for the price and accuracy of it
