Nearly 39 pounds of steel construction and a 9 inch capacity point to a bench style saw rather than a portable one, so plan for its weight and footprint.

Overview
Steel construction and a 336 watt, 120 volt motor put the SKIL BW9501-00 saw at 38.65 pounds, with a listed capacity of 9 inches.
That weight sits well above typical handheld saw territory, more in line with a benchtop or stationary tool, and the 9 inch capacity marks the largest material size it is built to handle. Blade type and size are not broken out separately from that capacity figure.

- 9 inch capacity
- Weighs 38.65 pounds
Who it's for
This is for buyers with bench space for a heavier, steel corded saw offering 9 inch capacity. It does not suit anyone who needs a lightweight, portable handheld saw.
Pros and cons
- 9 inch capacity
- 336 watt motor on standard 120 volt power
- Heavy at 38.65 pounds, not suited to portable use
- Blade type and size not specified
Performance notes
The 336 watt motor on 120 volt power is modest for a tool this heavy, which suggests the weight comes mainly from the steel frame rather than the motor. The 9 inch capacity is the key limit on stock size.
