The whole saw has a very heavy duty and has a purpose built feel to it.įor those not familiar with the design, a worm drive saw works with the motor mounted parallel with the blade. Out of the motor extends a shaft which enters the gear housing. Inside this housing is a worm and pinion gear which transmits the power to the blade. What this does is transmit more torque to the blade which means more cutting power. Another advantage of this setup is that a lot of the direct stress of cutting material is taken off of the motor which greatly extends its life. The down side is that as compared to a “sidewinder” type of saw, a worm drive saw weighs considerably more.
While we have not framed a house with the SKIL Mag 77 SHD77M saw, we can attest to its raw power and ability to cleanly slice though wood.
We have cut both PT and regular lumber along with plywood. All the cuts were done with ease and never once did the saw even hint at slowing down. It is a wood eating machine! The one thing that some folks will have to get used to with this type of saw is that the view of the blade is on the opposite side of a sidewinder (which many folks are more accustomed to). In the end, I would have to say if I was going to have to spend a lot of time with a circular saw, I would want it to be a worm drive saw because it never tires or slows down and I feel like I have a better view of where my blade is cutting.
