DeWalt DWE7485WS Table Saw with Stand vs SKILSAW SPT99-11 Worm Drive Table Saw

Buy the DeWalt DWE7485WS if you want a lighter saw that rips full 4x8 sheets and is easy to move around a small shop or garage. Buy the SKILSAW SPT99-11 if you cut thick stock, need a 10-inch blade and dado capacity, or work off a truck on rough ground. The DeWalt is the more compact, more portable machine with a tool-free guard system; the SKILSAW is heavier and built around worm-drive torque and a rolling stand. Both rate 4.6 out of 5 from owners, so the choice comes down to cut capacity versus portability.

• Choose the DeWalt DWE7485WS if you rip full plywood sheets, want a saw under 80 lbs, and value tool-free blade and guard changes.
• Choose the SKILSAW SPT99-11 if you cut thick 4x material, need a 10-inch blade with dado capacity, and want a rolling stand for jobsite transport.
