## Description

This 16-5/16" Worm Drive Skilsaw is the new boss. The biggest worm drive saw on Earth tears through whatever you throw at it. This beast of a saw boasts a 6-1/4 In. cutting capacity to power through 6x in one easy cut. The magnesium, die-cast foot plate guarantees true, square cuts every time. With lightweight, durable magnesium construction, brass worm drive gearing, and our 15 AMP Dual-Field™ motor, everything about this saw is built to be relentless. The included 16-5/16 In. blade makes perfect cuts right out of the box.

Review: This thing is a monster. Great as a straight-line rip saw - This thing is great. The stand/base it comes with is very handy and keeps the saw in good condition. Its not too heavy being such a large saw. I'm only 5'7 and can handle it easily. It walks through the wood when crosscutting. I straight lined 400bft of 10/4 black ash no problem. It runs a little slower on the rips with the standard blade, I may eventually get a ripping blade just to keep the saw happy. That being said the one it comes with is a nice combo blade. Min depth of cut is a little under 2.5 in so its not possible to do two passes on anything thiner.
Review: Works great - Excellent. Plenty of power. Cuts through 6x6 post easy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the recommended plug to put on if using in the uk ?**
A: Being a universal motor it will run just fine on 50hz, however if using in a 240volt environment obviously a stepdown transformer will be required.
I use mine regularly with the stepdown transformer...

**Q: What amp?**
A: Hello John,

This model is 15 amps. Thank you for your inquiry!

**Q: Can this saw use the 16"+ diablo blade that the makita beam saw uses or does it have to be the Skil brand blade?**
A: I haven’t tried it in my saw, but I’m 99.9% sure the diablo blade would fit. It’s the same size, 16 5/16”, also both have a 1” arbor.

**Q: Does anyone make a blade that you can use for ripping I**
A: I ripped 3 inch red oak with the blade that came on it with no problem

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Beam Saw out there.
*by K***R on December 17, 2025*

I am using the saw with the included blade on Douglass Fir beams (8x12,10x10 & 10x7)The saw goes through the wood well and tracks great. Lighter than the Mikita by a noticable amount. Fit and finish are good. Base plate is great.
