A portable tablesaw is a constant on all of my job sites. I use it for everything from ripping plywood spacers for headers to trimming filler panels on kitchen cabinets. Skilsaw's new SPT70WT-22 (previewed in "Tools and Materials," FHB #257) is the first portable worm-drive tablesaw. It's a riff on the company's venerable worm-drive circular saw, and it promises to be as durable and as powerful. The saw I tested over three months is equipped with a 10-in. Freud blade and includes an optional folding stand (model SPTA70WT-ST). The fence locks down firmly, requiring only a minor adjustment to bring it within an acceptable margin of error right out of the box. The saw has great onboard storage for a provided push stick, as well as storage for the miter gauge, blade wrench, and fence.
