Is this saw worth it for a home shop?

Yes, if you cut trim, framing, and boards up to 2x12 and have an outlet nearby. It gives dual bevel and sliding capacity at a lower price than pro-brand saws.

Does it cut 2x12 lumber?

Yes, at 90 degrees it cuts 2x12. At a 45-degree bevel the depth of cut drops to 8 inches.

No. It is corded electric at 120 volts and runs from a standard outlet. No battery is included or needed.

What is the LED shadow line?

A light casts the blade's shadow onto the board, so you line up the cut with the actual kerf. There is no laser to calibrate.

Can it cut both sides at a bevel?

Yes. It has dual bevel, so you can tilt the blade left or right without flipping the workpiece.

Our take on the Skil 10-Inch Sliding Compound Miter Saw

The Skil 10-Inch Sliding Compound Miter Saw is a corded 15-amp saw with a 10-inch blade, dual bevel, and 51-degree miter capacity in both directions. It cuts 2x12 lumber at 90 degrees and 8 inches deep at a 45-degree bevel, and it uses an LED shadow line instead of a laser to show the cut. Sliding fences and an electric brake round out the feature set. It is a mid-priced saw for home shops and trim work rather than a pro jobsite tool.
