Skil 3400-15 15 Amp 10-Inch Table Saw with Stand and Dust Collection

I have had this table saw for 1 year and have done a few woodworking projects with it. Its small size makes it desirable for a small shop. It seems to have plenty of power to cut everything that I have used this saw to cut. The dust collection bag works good. The saw has two problems, 1. the grooves for the miter guide is 5/8 not the typical 3/4. Almost all other saws are 3/4 and all after market miter guides are 3/4. So none of the attachments that are out there to help you be more accurate with your cuts will fit this table saw. Problem 2. the arbor for the saw blade is too short to allow for using a dado blade assembly.

Shipped fast, powerful, great value with the accesories. Pakageing not the best. Directions very confusing due to the fact that the assembly instuctions did not include the stand or dust catch, so had to figue that out on my own. The blade was elevated above the table in box which was right at the top of the box when opened. It had obviously been set on or something stacked on top of it because blade was broken through box. Which is why it was probably not aligned. When I tried to loosen the screws to align the blade they stripped (and I didn't slip in the screw head at all). Very soft screw metal so before I could use it once I had to go out and get a screw. Luckly underneith it had a hex nut so I could replace it but this should not happen. Once I got it set up works great but was a pain to get it useable. If you want a saw that is usable out of the box and not have to fiddle with it, maybe look at another saw. This is my first table saw assembly so I am not sure if this is common...Read more

This item is in very poor condition and I will be returning this. It has 3, maybe 4 spots where it looks like someone hit it with a hammer or dropped it, it's covered with saw dust. And to top it off...the motor fell out of the bottom.
