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.

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.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 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.
