Cut-read. helps you measure depth quickly and accurately with a depth of cut system.
53° bevels allow users to make a wider range of cuts.
15 Amp of power gives people the power to cut through more wood in less time.
The anti-snag lower guard makes it easy to cut off small pieces without snagging.
In this style, the circular saw is driven by a crank.
The lightest worm drive is part of a long history of SKILSAW quality, durability, and cutting power. There are worm drive saws that weigh a lot, but this one only weighs 11.5 lbs. The magnesium housing is very strong, but it also keeps the motor cool, so you can get more power from it job after job. Legendary SKILSAW worm drive technology meets our best-in-class Dual-Field motor, which was made for saws and is the only one of its kind. In addition to the blade, this model even comes with an SKILSAW. That way, your SKILSAW is ready to go when you get it out of the box.
As a child in Massachusetts, I had never seen anyone else use a circular saw that had a worm drive on the east coast. Everyone had a sidewinder. This was one of the few tools that didn’t feel right in my hands when I was working with wood. I loved working with wood. I tried to cut razor-sharp lines because even small changes at the handle made a big difference in the cut line. I learned how to deal with kickbacks and fight binds on angled cuts with a sidewinder. I know that if a sidewinder is used correctly, it will cut well. I will tell you that because of their ergonomics, it is hard to use them correctly. Because the motor weight is not in the middle, you are not pushing through or through the work. The handle is set up so that you are pushing down into the work, not through the work. Yes, they do work, and I used them for a long time, but it wasn’t the best thing I’ve done.
In my 40s, I read a book by Larry Haun. I also started watching The Essential Craftsman on YouTube. This is what I did. If you want to learn more about carpentry, you should look up Larry Haun on YouTube. Both of these men used the same Skilsaw worm drive saw. I thought I’d give one a try. It has a lot of weight and looks like it’s built to last. In the beginning, when I sawed a 2×4 up on my boot, I didn’t know what to expect. The weight of the saw and gravity pushed the saw right through the board like a hot knife through butter. I thought it might be a one-time thing, so I grabbed a 2×8 and tried the same thing again. The saw kept going right through the wood, and it looked like it was stuck to the line. A lot of the work will be done for you if you let the saw and gravity help. This saw has so much torque that it can cut through wet 2x lumber all day. Handle: It’s back behind the saw. This gives you very good accuracy as you push forward, and because the saw is long, you don’t have to make very big changes. This means that the cut will be more accurate.
A worm drive saw is better than a sidewinder because I didn’t know that for 40 years. One thing I wish I had done more of was try a sex toy. A better way has been shown to me thanks to Larry Haun and Scott Wadsworth (aka The Essential Craftsman), who taught me how.
