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.

Purchased to replace an old Delta miter saw that had provided years of good service. The MS-6305-00 is a very nice saw. The dual-bevel sliding functionality is a big improvement over the old Delta. The built-in light and blade position indicators are very helpful and useful. So far there are a couple of downsides. One is that the adjustment screw that limits the forward and back travel tends to move under vibration and needs to be readjusted frequently (need to figure out a fix for that - maybe some non-permanent thread locker or a locking nut). The other is regarding the very useful material clamp that is included and works well - was hoping to buy another one for the other side of the saw but they are apparently no longer available. Given the feature set, the Skil MS6305-00 is a bargain and an excellent value vs. other miter saws with similar feature sets. Highly recommended.

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!

Excellent tool. Precise cuts. The depth adjustment screw could be improved; I use it for making half lap joints whenever the joint is too deep for using a router. The fence is a bit wobbly, however, and the press down clamp tends to move the wood slightly thus losing precision. The guard guide screw came lose after several hours of use, but it took 10 seconds to fix. The saw had been overtighten at the manufacture, so don't use the provided tool in this case if you don't want to strip the screw, use a higher quality philips bit with a longer handle for more torque.

I’m an amateur DIY guy and finally decided to get a miter saw after doing all my cuts with a circular saw for a long time. I shopped around a lot before I decided to buy this and I’m completely happy with it. Easy assembly out of the box. Easy to make adjustments. I’m very impressed with the shadow line that marks the path of the blade on the piece being cut. I recommend adding some zero clearance tape which reduces rip out and keeps debris from falling into the base. The little dust collection bag is kind of a joke and it blows dust everywhere, but that seems common for miter saws across the board. For a compound sliding saw, this feels like an amazing deal compared to other brands with the same features.

I've had it now for over a year and no complaints. The factory blade is kinda crap, but I knew I'd be replacing it with a 60 tooth anyway. And I have an 80 tooth for really fine stuff. Saw was extremely easy to set up and dial in. I used machinist square and digital angle finder. Plenty of power for the things I'm cutting. Dust collection is eh on its own. But its a miter saw. They make a mess. Hooked up my dewalt stealth vac and centec chip collector to it and that's much better! Highly recommend this saw to DIY people!

I purchased the Skil 10-Inch Sliding Miter Saw back in 2022, and it’s been a total workhorse in my woodworking setup ever since. As my first miter saw, I was a little nervous, but it was quieter than I expected and didn’t sound like it was trying to take off into space. The compact size and fold-down feature make it easy to store and transport—perfect for a small workshop or job site. When it comes to accuracy, this thing delivers clean, precise cuts with minimal tear-out, and three years later, my cuts are still square without needing constant adjustments. The build quality is solid, exactly what I’d hoped for when I ordered from Skil—I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it, and it didn’t disappoint. While it doesn’t have built-in storage, the carry handle and portability make it super practical for moving around. Whether I'm cutting trim or tackling larger DIY projects, it’s proven to be reliable, user-friendly, and safe, especially for someone like me still learning and trying not to mess up (or lose a thumb). This saw fit like a dream and performed even better than I imagined. If you're new to woodworking or just want a reliable saw that won’t cost a fortune or destroy your garage space—this is the one to grab. The lock is great, so I don't have to worry about little fingers getting hurt while I am not home. Buy it, cut straight, and try not to measure three times out of paranoia like I used to!

Awesome saw. The shadow feature to highlight your mark is great. It does have a depth stop even though some say it does not. Great tool for the price.
