Summary
The verdict for the SKIL 3410-02 10-Inch Table Saw with Folding Stand is not good, but it does a good job for those looking for a table saw on a budget. The table is a nice adaption, but when looking at extras they’re severely lacking. Some features such as a dust collection, blade, miter gauge, and the fence are all lower quality or missing all-together which are almost necessary with this line of work.

SKIL saws come distinguished with a higher level of class that leave consumers worry free after their purchase. Offering award-winning technology that not only powers, but keeps SKIL saws powered for many years to come.
One of their newest models is the SKIL 3410-02 10-Inch Table Saw with Folding Stand is a smaller model, but offers the versatility of much larger ones. This table saw comes complete with a durable stand with a long aluminum table that’s perfect for cutting larger pieces of wood. Build with accuracy, performance, and durability in mind, this table saw appeals to both professionals and beginners alike.
Very Durable Folding Stand
One of the best qualities of the SKIL 10-Inch Table Saw is the stand that’s foldable. Made of high-quality steel makes it very durable and a great platform for larger, heavier pieces of wood. The stand is easily collapsible and becomes very portable or can be stored out of sight for those lacking space.
The initial setup of the complete table saw and stand are simple, and doesn’t require any other tools. You have everything you need to get up and cutting in no time at all, and the initial adjustments including the miter gauge can be aligned with no special experience. The regular maintenance is somewhat frustrating as the miter gauge and fence will have to be constantly monitored as some have stated will move.
Powerful Motor with a Great Cutting Height
For a compact folding table saw, it’s powered by a 15-amp motor which gives you speeds to 5,000 with no load. The cutting capacity is more than enough to handle larger workpieces which fit on the 10-inch table which extends to 20-Inch x 32-Inch for larger pieces.
The SKIL 3410-02 10-Inch Table Saw has a maximum cutting height of 3 ½-inches. Giving you plenty of capacity which comes in about 4 times more than other models in its class, you’ll find it remains accurate through all cuts. With a built-in EZ View Measurement System and rip fence that self-aligns, you’ll be able to get accurate measurements and cuts through material faster, with precision.
