The SKIL MS6305-00 is a corded 10-inch sliding compound miter saw with a 15 amp motor turning the blade at 4,800 RPM. It cuts both left and right bevels without flipping the workpiece, and an LED shadow line marks the blade's path instead of a laser. It suits trim carpenters, remodelers and serious DIYers who cut molding, framing lumber and finish stock in one spot. Against 12-inch sliders it gives up some crosscut capacity, but dual bevel and the shadow line are features usually found on pricier saws.

Owners of this class of SKIL slider tend to praise the dual bevel and the shadow line for trim work and call it good value for a home shop. Common complaints center on the fence and table feeling less rigid than pro-grade saws and on the saw arriving out of adjustment.
The SKIL MS6305-00 is a corded 10-inch dual bevel sliding compound miter saw. It makes angled and bevel cuts in lumber and molding, and it handles trim work, framing cuts and general crosscutting. A 15 amp motor turns the blade at 4,800 RPM with no load. It is rated to crosscut 2 x 12 lumber at 90 degrees and 2 x 8 lumber at 45 degrees.
The saw bevels both left and right, so you can make bevel cuts on either side without flipping the workpiece. The miter angle goes up to 50 degrees left and right, with 11 positive stops, a stainless-steel miter plate with 9 detents and a cam miter lock knob. An LED shadow line shows where the blade will cut. The slide rail system uses linear bearings.
The horizontal grip handle has a center-located safety trigger, so it can be used right- or left-handed. Tall sliding fences support base and crown molding. A quick work clamp holds stock in place, and an electric brake stops the blade between cuts. The saw has a built-in carrying handle and comes with a dust bag.
