Worm Drive Circular Saws

Skilsaw worm drive circular saws offer superior cutting performance, suitable for applications like decking, siding and framing.

Working Mechanism

  • These saws include a powerful motor that is positioned parallel to the handle of the saw.
  • When power is supplied, the motor drives a worm gear which in turn meshes with a larger gear (or bull gear) attached to the circular blade.
  • As the worm gear rotates, it turns the bull gear and the saw blade, which delivers powerful torque to cut through thick and dense materials with utmost ease.
