He gets paid to say this nonsense If anyone watching this actually thinks he would own and use one of these is truly gullible
Comment from : @stevedafoe5257

Is it easy to true the blade like the skil?
Comment from : @darwinbodero7872

It's not made well 😮
Comment from : @sandybeach3576

Everyone is always saying buy this one or that one, pay several hundred dollars or even more, for me l have had a 12" sliding compound miter saw from Harbor freight for 8 years , use it just about every day never had a problem with it , just buying blades, 👍
Comment from : @byronedwards5828

Is the Skill also Chinese? I hate to benefit the CCP
Comment from : @garykaalberg8400

Been using mine about a month, and its okbrMotor is super scary, loudest tool I have, DON'T USE NEAR FLAMMABLESbrMOTOR Spark constantlybrI prefer and am ok with brushed motors, but this shows sparks A LotbrRest of it is finebrStart button a little weird, hard to do with gloves, sometimes needs a long push, many false startsbr"Onboard" tool storage Not suitable for transport, all fall out on the way to the truck, in the truck, not for bumpy terrainbrRemove riving knife, cut slot through to end and can remove (without tools) as neededbrRunning 3/4 dado regularly, I recommend swapping blades in transport mode
Comment from : @default_user_id

It's a blue skil saw😂😂😂😂
Comment from : @GPopeSinghTriniCharters1983

Also, out of the box, the Kobalt has wider rip capacity: left and right - 17 and 325 inches vs Skill: 14 and 255 inches, according to their websites, if you're interested in that aspect
Comment from : @extionbusiness5752

I found a bunch of CMT blades on Amazon being sold as "used" They were all unopened returns, snagged them for about $35 bucks a piece Best deal I ever found
Comment from : @ReelSpider

Take that miter gauge off, flip it over, and strike the bottom of the rail with a ball peen hammer, on both ends, it may take a few strikes to take all the slop out of the fit Don't hit it too hard the first time, some rails are harder than others, you don't want to over do it
Comment from : @ReelSpider

Wish I could have won that!brbrBut I need to update to a better table saw
Comment from : @davidwaner7925

How does it compare to Hercules from HF? They look almost identical
Comment from : @CFKort

Would love to see a comparison between this and the Hercules from harbor freight I've heard awful things about Kobalt's customer service
Comment from : @averypless

Bought one from aliexpress seller said "warehouse in USA" and was delivered in 2 days by AMAZON lol, was only $189 🙂
Comment from : @txbrn512

I purchased this saw and am struggling with the way the fence mounts to the rails It just has a little bolt that goes in And out and has a lot of play vertically that doesn’t look to have adjustment The rails look the same at a glance on these rack and pinion table saws Does anyone know if another brand fence will attach? I’ve played with a dewalt and even a Hercules at HF, and both have zero movement
Comment from : @gwm88

I have an "original" Kobalt from several years ago Everything I've read says this newer version of the saw is a bdowngrade/b from the older versions Guess I don't know what to think
Comment from : @researchandbuild1751

That shirt pocket display was fire
Comment from : @chadwize_broskiw8090

Just bought this one a few weeks ago 😊
Comment from : @kingleo1128

I’m in the market, but I have to say title looks identical to the DeWalt…
Comment from : @scottforrest2097

Man i wouldve loved trying to win this saw im a new subscriber and im loving your videos and all the info you tell Youre definitely educating me
Comment from : @donnamcdan9326

Is this as loud as the Skil? The noise of the Skil is typically the only downside How does this compare?
Comment from : @bradenhughes98

I got the one with the stand on sale for $275 I will say this the instructions to put the stand together are horrible No parts are labeled The diagrams are small and hard to read Very frustrating
Comment from : @kevinpape4873

Dont buy this brand I bought a kobalt table saw and it is a fantastic piece of crap The fence is the most inaccurate catastrophe known to man, the blade height adjustment screw broke so now it's stuck, and the cross rip accessory has so much play in it that it will never give you a straight cut I would avoid!
Comment from : @JK-tc2ts

I just purchased this one I saw you skil review and just stumbled into this video today before pulling the trigger The reason I got this saw was its on sale and basically you are getting the stand version for the table top price I was an automotive technician for 20 years, and now I got a stay at home job and want to get into woodworking As a little kid my grandpa, after retiring made cabinets and wooded trash cans I want take what he did to the next level
Comment from : @Shazam081

I'm surprised that no one mentions the dangers addressed by the Brits who don't allow, in fact the Daddo blade set up is illegal in the UK I noticed the start stop switch doesn't have a lock out location in its mechanism Also you can't adjust it for 47 degrees or 2 degrees negative Also either making your own DIY out feed extension would have been nice I think Skill has that option as it telescopes out
Comment from : @RedSinter

I bought one,it's a POS !
Comment from : @kenbradshaw7585

does it work if i try to work on big heavy wood
Comment from : @RaadAziz-pl9nm

32 damn that is good rip capacity
Comment from : @XxStratAttackxX

Just an fyi the kobalt is on sale at Lowe’s for 229 with the rolling stand until 1/31
Comment from : @sking52

I just bought the skil saw due to the built in stand but I cringe every time I look at the throat plate I do like how it locks in place When I looked at the about saw the floor model was junk never gave it a second look
Comment from : @timyedo6510

THANK YOU for bringing up and addressing/updating with the SKIL That was the question I was asking myself the whole time Very thorough review!
Comment from : @wreilly09

Looked at both n Lowe’s brI chose the Skil over the Kobalt brFence on the Kobalt had play in it when locked down and no motor adjustment brVery compact with those folding legs
Comment from : @garrenacker

Even the throat plate is dewalt style
Comment from : @santoni58

It has a lots of dewalt features, huh!
Comment from : @santoni58

Skil and Kobalt: same underlying manufacturer
Comment from : @jaaz821cgs

This is SO similar to the HF Hercules I got that on FB marketplace with a dado blade and a couple other blades, added fence on the miter gauge, for $150, has done what I needed it to
Comment from : @tcnarber1

Can we stop praising all this Made in China stuff thanks!
Comment from : @teter129

My
Comment from : @reedrhorer

How would you compare this against the Dewalt 10" 7491?
Comment from : @ridinskullcandy

Is this less noisy than the SKIL? or is that just common in all (small) table saws?
Comment from : @roiad876

How did you remove the riving blade to install the dado?
Comment from : @calmfamilydogtraining6728

Thanks for the review I have the old Kobalt saw with the clip on fence Im looking for another table saw and wasnt looking at the Kobalt because of the fence Next saw is gonna have a rack and pinion fence My shop is my garage so my saws/bench etc have to be on wheels Gonna take another look at the Kobalt Thanks again for your review!
Comment from : @gregstinogel2217

I have one and love it
Comment from : @kurtisdavis9526

Pleas helpwhat do you recommand EVOLUTION R255 MTS or BOSCH GTS 254 od BOSCH PTS 10THAK YOU FROM SERBIA
Comment from : @MilosNenadovic-sf7om

If I could win this saw, I'd pay the postage 😊
Comment from : @WilliamWatters-z8v

So it is a blue Dewalt (and other) copy with a bigger blade Love the fact it can take the dado blades
Comment from : @mar56313

Great review, thanks! (I bought the Skill Saw from your review) I have 2 questionsbr1 Which saw is quieter?br2 Does the Kolbalt blade stop faster?
Comment from : @BJ-GoldenTuna

So what about this vs the Skil ts6307-00 table saw 279 with the stand
Comment from : @coss_the_boss_84fernando8

I bought this saw based on your review It’s decent for the price! Definitely a good entry level choice Only major complaint is the throat plate isn’t flat so it can’t be properly leveled brUnfortunately for the saw it’s being abused and probably ultimately sacrificed for composite exterior trim and siding
Comment from : @shaiw5225

This saw is not to be found in Germany, including Amazon wow a conspiracy? ;D
Comment from : @everybot-it

Can anyone comment on how well the dust collection is with this saw?
Comment from : @onocoffee

I did not see any diagnostic measurements If an in-depth review, including testing for straightness of parts, this would not be a good table saw Is the fence straight and not warped, or is the table top flat without low parts greater than other saws, for example You get what you pay for
Comment from : @timothyhigginson9804

Yeah I will pass on something that I will want to spend even more money to replace in the future get what you know you will need until it dies
Comment from : @davidclayton6521

I've had the Kobalt table saw for about 6 months now and I'm just a beginner building boxes, cutting boards and home improvement projects around my house and I love it brbrIt's a beastly saw, for it's size it's a heavy bastard brI would buy another one in a heartbeat brI highly recommend this saw
Comment from : @badgerdog9898

Nice fence Some are just , well , offensive 🙄
Comment from : @BrianDavis-b6b

All these mini table saws suck brI'm done with struggling with them Better to just save your money for a Contractor or Cabinet Table Saw with a cast iron deck
Comment from : @OOTurok

Anyone know how to get the darn fence off from under the saw when you're setting it up I know it's going to be something easy
Comment from : @AlanWilkerson

The Koballt TS10602 has a throat plate with an Engineering Blunder There is a shiny piece of metal at the outfeed end of this plate, which rises above the surface of the rest of the casting This causes wood work pieces to sometimes catch and stall when moving through the blade This runis the cut typically and is unacceptable in a brand new sawbrWHAT exactly is this ridiculous feature supposed to do? Now I have to find a solution to fix a brand new saw that is wasting my time I will be talking to Kobalt, but will they just send me another one of the same? This is what happens with a major lot of products that are poorly engineered in these times So I have to modify this one or have one custom made from scratch Disappointing Any solutions are helpfulbrThanks
Comment from : @WarrenStarCat

You can just throw them warshers out the winder
Comment from : @jeremyroberts4455

Please add noise level to your reviews I bought a cheaper Skill table saw years ago and it will wake the dead
Comment from : @KB3M

I have one I bought at Lowe’s a couple years ago More than adequate for me
Comment from : @emichaeljohnson3693

3:44 Wait? 🤔🙃
Comment from : @charleschi843

I want to see a review on the whats advertised as THE DUSTLESS TABLE SAW from Sirocco
Comment from : @nickrogac

We have to rebuild two wood fences It appears some yt guys are using a handheld circular saw? We are beginners at this… thanks!
Comment from : @MistressMarigold

When did this model come out
Comment from : @WhoOwl-o4f

I prefer the look of the Skil sadly but the larger rip capacity pushes this one over Thanks for doing these reviews I'm new to all of this and found out quickly that Ryobi I bought off a friend has got to go! The fence is rotten
Comment from : @carpentersdaughter31

Buddy just bought one of these it was a disappointment in quality very warped top and badly misaligned T-slots he returned it for the Skil and couldn't be more happy
Comment from : @Munky332

I don't like the look of the stand for this one I wonder you could get the stand for the comparable skill table saw to use for this table saw?
Comment from : @SniperUSMC

Thanks for this, love your videos, they're all very helpful
Comment from : @SniperUSMC

I bought the skill has many of the same features plus legs Except for the noise it’s a great saw for a two car garage home shop The other tool I will recommend is the Wen spiral planer, I bought carbide cutters for it and it is perfect for me I have had good luck with Wen tools in general, I have a lot of dewalt tools also but for a part time home shop I have been pleased
Comment from : @BartComeau-h6b

First coments, the Fence is a prime concern I ended up with a Wen TT0811, and the Fence is absolute " Garbage" I am considering this model after seeing your showbrThanksbrStar
Comment from : @WarrenStarCat

I like my Kobalt I bought soon as they upgraded fence Been a excellent saw for the price point
Comment from : @mikeburton9001

Is the blade-to-miter slot alignment as easy to adjust as on the Skil?
Comment from : @paulkace6216

It's a Matabo
Comment from : @WisdomFromAshes

I got the little sister of this one All I could afford That one has awesome features!
Comment from : @chrisg8172

Soooo grizzly tools is having a big sale right now, but I never really here anything good or bad about the grizzly brand any thoughts on the brand or the sale?
Comment from : @Cramnco

Thanks for the chance to win this saw My portable Delta el-cheapo just fell apart about a month ago
Comment from : @scottfultz5594

Best table saw I've ever owned was a Ryobi with out feed support, onboard collapsible stand and 25 side" extension
Comment from : @philgonzalez5953

I owned one of those, it’s a piece of crap, I gave it away It doesn’t hold up
Comment from : @Nicball505

This saw is crap😂
Comment from : @lancep9394

Gotta saw that looks very similar to harbour freights Hercules flavour
Comment from : @simonlang678

I bought the Master Force 10" with gravity stand for $400 and LOVE IT Menards is king
Comment from : @daniele9834

I was very pleasantly surprised when you brought up the Skil saw at the end! A lot of reviews exist in a vacuum, it's great that you mention your previous picks, explaining history of your recommendations rather than just leaving viewer to compare your videos themself, which can be particularly hard in regard to such similair products
Comment from : @chybanie716

You said the skill table saw is loud What about the Kobalt table saw?
Comment from : @rogermainor2401

I have a 7yo Ridgid jobsite saw that has served me very well, similar price point, poor dust collection and fewer features I definitely like the Kobalt/Dewalt type fence better but I have to say the Ridgid is easy to keep square Curious to see how well the Kobalt holds up after a couple years of use
Comment from : @jerzsubbie

How does it compare to the 10 inch dewalt?
Comment from : @sydrem2011

I love a surprise value option for new woodworkers I remember being afraid to use my entry level table saw!
Comment from : @NewTestamentDoc

I'd go with Skill because of the foldable legs 👍🙂
Comment from : @fcolon1976

Brother, I need your advice I should be in the market for a new table saw in the future I have had my eye on the Delta 36-725T2 But after watching this video I am considering the Kobalt I have a very small garage So all my tools will need to be portable (move around to make room to work) If you had to choose between the two which one would you purchase?
Comment from : @yopasjim

As of today its $300 at Lowes with the standwith the 32 inch cutting width compared to the 25 with the skil this saw is a steal
Comment from : @bretsmith1094

I just bought the Kobalt saw thanks to your review I saved $5050 with all my discounts
Comment from : @RobertHerrera-s4v

Very good Sir, I do need a portable saw for my job trailer
Comment from : @johnalligood7150

Thank you for the review I am a Kobalt user and I finally bought this table saw (but I bought the folding portable version on wheels) Had it about a month and haven't had time to use it Hahaha love that I can fold it up and take up less space as my bigger table saw that finally died Glad to hear from you that it is strong and worth it Kobalt had a good warranty as well Never had to really use it, though I bought it at full price and a month later it went on sale and my local Lowes manager gave me the price difference I will look into that bow fence thing Thanks again, from another family member in Christ
