They both had no issue with full depth rip cuts in a chunk of red oak dunnage.
Skil saw series#
With the different motors in the saws, a 70 series vs a 99 series motor, I would think there would be a difference in power but to be honest it isn’t noticeable.
At 16″ they’ll roll up an over any job site debris you may encounter and even work really well on stairs. It offers support for sheet goods while cutting as well as the most generous wheels of any tool stand I’ve ever used. The stand on the SPT 99 is also a fold up unit but is permanently attached to the saw. The stand on the SPT 70 is a compact little fold up unit. One of the other huge differences between the two is the stand. This fence also offers greater rip capacity at 30-1/2″ vs 25″ In fact, I usually just grab the fence and pull it to the right mark, it’s faster than spinning the dial. It is still highly adjustable when released though. It is very similar to the Dewalt fence and locks very tight with the flick of a lever. The rack and pinion fence on the SPT 99 is one of the biggest differences between the two. Upfront Controls – Power, depth, bevel, and fence levers and dials are all right on the front.All saw and safety parts store inside saw frame.3 in 1 safety guard – riving knife, anti kickback pawls, and blade guard.Pair that with a Diablo ripping blade and both saws can just hog through the wood. This also allows for a 3-5/8″ depth of cut. This makes for a quieter and more powerful saw. Most importantly, both saws offer the legendary Skilsaw worm drive geartrain. A two is for a Diablo blade vs a one which would be a stock blade. The SPT XX is for the series motor that’s in the saw and the last digit is for the saw blade.
Skil saw portable#
The portable SPT 70WT-22 and the heavy-duty SPT 99-12. Like I mentioned above, Skilsaw now has two worm drive table saws. Additionally, the worm gear configuration allows a greater depth of cut. In a table saw application, power is usually one of the most important factors. The size and weight matters if you’re using a circular saw overhead but less so in a table saw. This can also mean a larger footprint and mass though. So what’s the benefit to worm vs spur? In a saw this translates to greater torque in the worm drive set up.
To contrast this, a sidewinder or direct drive saw uses spur gears which are straight toothed and the input and output are inline. To achieve this, a worm with spiral teeth meshes with a worm gear or wheel. Let’s start with the basics… what’s a worm drive? A worm drive is a gear train that has the motor at 90 degrees to the output. So how do you decide which Skilsaw table saw to get? We’ll break it all down for you. Then just about 2 years later the brand announced another table saw (SPT 99-12) also with worm drive but this one was touted to be more powerful than the first one. Before that no one had ever had that geartrain in a table saw let alone a job site saw. Back at the end of 2015, Skilsaw announced the first ever worm-drive table saw (SPT 70WT-22).
